"When [APA] was in academy, he liked to pick up every academy player"

This was cute so I kinda drew it (found out about it 3 weeks late)

Here’s a thing I haven’t posted in full anywhere. I drew this for Team Liquid, to be an exclusive poster for IEM Cologne 2024 (The Cathedral of Counter-Strike).

I know nothing about esports and I have some moral issues with Counter-Strike, but Team Liquid were an absolute joy to work with and I loved learning about the drama depicted in this piece.

A few things from my end-

- The frame is based on the architectural plans for Cologne Cathedral.

- The horse statues were a late edition, based on the Team Liquid logo, which is a horse.

- The guy (played by Olofmeister in 2014) has wings because he is dead. He managed to defuse the bomb and win the scenario while standing in fire, which killed his character mere frames after he secured the win.

NA-MEN Discord dying

it sucks that the namen discord is just 4 active members posting these days. it sucks that its original founders all are inactive on the discord while remaining very active in the community.

honestly, it was kind of a gut punch when the lta yearbook came out, because it was a confirmation that this fan community still existed, but only in a private circle.

i missed having a place to largely be happy about na teams, their players, and their competition. tl has a discord, but obviously everyone there is self-selected into a tl fandom. r/lol and summonerschool have discords but they obviously don't have much conversation about na, especially, and i get it. i wouldn't care about na very much if i didn't live here.

i went and looked for a link to the discord. it seems that it's no longer open to the public. lcs profiles nor their twitter have a link to join. i honestly feel kind of betrayed that they made this discord, got jobs in actual esports, then shut the door behind them.
