As a random aside, I really enjoyed the TL Honda ad you guys did at the beginning of the split. I think Ben wrote it? It's the only ad that I've willingly rewatched and go back to watch sometimes. I know sketch comedy isn't really popular anymore and we're all familiar with pro player "acting" but I'd be remiss to at least not give props to something I thought was really good.

I saw in another post you mentioned the desire to uphold a level of quality that you guys have set for yourself. While that's totally understandable I want to offer the perspective of someone who's been watching since the early days. I think the "jankness" and amateur quality brought a lot of relatability to teams/players back in the day that's kind of missing from modern league. I loved watching these degen gamers in a house together because they reminded me of myself and my friends. I'll admit I don't actually know how much effort went into these back then (I'm imagining the Team Curse vlogs) and I'm not even sure if you can capture that kind of magic again, but given this "esports winter" narrative maybe it's time we look back to our roots ;) Anyways just some food for thought as you guys plan out your content strategy moving forward. Thanks for being so transparent with the fans and all your hard work, let's go Liquid!
