Bruh there are many non-gamers who know Mew2king . It’s not as niche as people think

Hi Prince lol it's swish

@@ChocolateSoda1 What is niche is your homeboy prince doing journalistic work and interviews for North Bay already. Of course he's going to appreciate mainstream coverage and attention.

Thank you ABC7 for not only covering this in a positive light, but also highlighting the community benefits to this for local shops and restaurants, as well as the airport and transport, etc. This will encourage future esports events like this, which also come with the added benefit of being inside so they aren't affected by weather.
