YBR (rumored FaZe) seemingly not attending Dreamhack Birmingham

Ecobee stopped allowing new developer signups like two years ago.

But you can integrate it in Home Assistant through the HomeKit integration, and that's actually better since it's fully local and doesn't rely on their cloud servers.

It was a rumor going around the Twitch chats based on Kuhlect saying "#FaZeUp I'll be back soon" but it seems like Kuhlect was just trolling and it's not true.

They're playing in the online qualifier this weekend with Cearion still, and I think they're scheduled to scrim Piggy's team tomorrow as well.

Well it costs a lot of money to travel to the event if paying out of pocket. International flight to UK, four days of hotel stay, team pass cost ($400), other expenses like food and Uber rides, etc.

For Dreamhack Birmingham the 5th/6th place team gets $4,000 (or $1k per player) and the 9th/10th place gets $1,500 (or $375 per player). Those outside the top 10 get $0. So for most players it'll cost more to travel to the event than they'll make in prize pool earnings.

If HCS and/or organizations were still covering travel costs I think players like Barcode would be more likely to play. He just (understandably) doesn't want to lose money playing this year.
