It's crazy to think that in the year 2024 people think that you can run an esport with JUST the power of sunshine and rainbows. Recently Blast took over the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS). Which is incredible news. Blast does esports how it should be done. Awesome production value, talent and players are allowed to be themselves, and the venues are always set up in memorable ways. Let's put it this way, if you are curious about how Blast does event, just google their Counter-Strike events. One word, pyrotechnics. With new management in any field there will be changes. Blast appears to have cut a handful of talent for this upcoming RLCS season. Once again, the young and slightly dumb Rocket League community thinks this is awful and a sign that Blast is trying to "kill" their esport. I have a soul, I don't like seeing people lose their jobs, but in a talent-based industry and during this "esport winter" it's going to happen. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. I didn't understand the backlash that the decision makers got when the names of the talent that got cut started hitting the timeline. I'm going to be brutally honest, the only names that shocked me was Jorby and Turtle, but other than that, the rest of the talent that was cut were very good at their jobs, but not memorable talent. They never really tried to let their personalities show through their work. They were very "traditional sports". Blast correctly wants their casters to be a reason why people tune in and watch. Blast has a very "Inside the NBA" vibe to them and it works so god damn good. This is a necessary evil and I'm hopeful that the 2024 RLCS season will be one to remember.
