Such an incredible event, at such a colossal scale. Cannot wait to see the streaming numbers for the pool stages. We watch as traditional media channels decline in terms of viewership and quality (rinse repeat) and we see gaming through technology and a true interest in fan interests, passions, and communities continue to scale.

Oh we’re watching, unafraid to tell the critical truth when we have to. Good luck.
For those living in the margins of Saudi Arabia, the presence of such events can feel like a cruel paradox, highlighting freedoms they can see but not experience. Free Manahel al-Otaibi, and let her and her family pass to the UK.
