Competitive Update on the Promotion Tournament

The next era of Sentinels

Spending today onsite at Riot's Mexico City office for the LTA North Promotion Tournament! The entire Tier-2 year has been leading up to today & I couldn't be more excited to watch :) Make sure to check out DSG vs LG to see who claims the 2026 LCS Guest Slot - live now!

Spent an extra day exploring Mexico City 🇲🇽 Had lots of great Mexican food (including the best tacos & guac I've ever had), went on a leisurely boat ride with roaming mariachi bands, stopped by a quiet park, and found an axolotl sanctuary Would love to visit again sometime!

100%'d Hollow Knight: Silksong The movement & combat feels like a straight upgrade from HK Yet I feel like you can tell the game started as HK DLC with many of the best sections at the end, some of which feel cut short The game is great, but it could have been legendary - 9/10

Played through the Battlefield 6 campaign I mostly got the game for multiplayer but decided to check it out anyways It reportedly faced development issues and unfortunately it shows It's generic & janky. Feels super tacked on - 4/10

100%'d Keeper It's the latest Double Fine game led by one of their art directors. As such, the art is extremely surreal & unique I wanted to like it but it doesn't hold up compared to other atmospheric walking simulators I've played. It's slow paced & mechanically clunky - 6/10

Played through Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 It's decent, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the THPS 1+2 remake The gameplay is still amazing but it felt like an expensive DLC to the previous remake Still, it's arcadey and simple fun - 7.5/10

So I just finished playing through the 3-year anniversary story for Nikke and... holy shit lol It's basically an Avengers: Endgame moment bringing together everything they've been building for the past few years Unironically one of the best stories in a game ever - 11/10

Been having a ton of fun with Arc Raiders It's a great mix of PvE progression, tense "open world" PvP and organic player moments. I haven't had this much fun with a new PvP game since Apex Legends Every match feels dynamic and engaging & the audio design is godlike - 9/10

Watched Solo Leveling Seasons 1 + 2 I had heard the plot & character writing was paper thin but that the animation was cool and yea, it met my expectations haha Ridiculously generic power fantasy but the animation had its epic moments, more so in S2 S1 - 7/10 S2 - 8/10

Rode in a Waymo today Felt surreally similar to the Delamain taxi service from Cyberpunk Haven't really felt a sci-fi + reality blend like that before

What an absolute journey this game has been Completing quests as a solo player was awesome but to cap it off with a solo kill of the queen was euphoric Many frustrating moments (such is the nature of the genre) but it made the highs that much sweeter

Watched Farming Life in Another World It was... fine lol It's another isekai but this time with a farming theme like Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon It's not better than many others in the genre but it has its charming/funny moments. Was a decent binge watch - 7/10

Watched My Hero Academia Season 7 I've felt that the seasons were getting worse over time but man... S7 was painful Constant sympathy flashbacks in place of good writing & insane character plot armor making every battle feel pointless Just a mess of melodrama - 3/10
