I love that EWC say "We dare you to qualify" as if they openly threat people who aren't welcomed in KSA!

[@newm1____]

richard, I watch all of your videos and 99% of your streams and have been subbed on twitch for over 6 years now. This is one of the best videos/streams you have ever made . We are so lucky to have a voice like you in the scene. You should be incredibly proud of this . Keep doing what youre doing . You are a living legend, never forget that

[@jw0017]

if you can catch these steams live do... they're banging

@boxybox100 the pure uncut cocaine that is a richard lewis livestream

[@bradleyfirby648]

I'm glad for you and your peace, but god damn nothing hits harder than Richard with some fire and brimstone in his voice

[@comment44]

Got my coffee time to listen to some angry man rant about saudis for 2 hours. Keep up the good fight brotherman

[@Raxyz_0]

7:25 It's June 1st. The social media guy just hit "Send" on the Pride Month Celebration post. He goes to take a shower. As he's leaving, he just sees Richard Lewis with a golf bat doing his best Julius impression. "YOU THINK I'M PLAYIN'?"

[@cowboyevan]

The F1 story is especially funny considering the the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is the most dangerous track on the calendar.

[@tommy_tekkers]

Richard never switching up on his values, love to see you continue to stick up against the Saudi Investment Fund despite it taking more and more control on our scene

[@funkerman7]

NaVi shilling for Saudi any chance they get is insanely hilarious (or sad,whatever)

@@bigmanjake48you are missing a key part. they are shilling for saudi IN SPITE OF their social values. they still have the values; its just like the rest of esports. KINDA SUS to single out ukrainians

[@F1stzz]

Not THAT hilarious & actually starts making sense once you remember that both NaVi and GGBET have the same owner, lol

[@ronlanders7354]

​@@3br1ce7 most of these social values are bs statements by govts. If anything it seems as long as the gov is not hosting esports events, that is the difference between countries like u.s and the one being criticized by Lewis in the video.

[@TomEagle3]

honestly props to complexity for not taking the money as Jason probably could use some of the money right now. If you can, support the orgs that dont participate in this.

[@-dash.]

that depends on if they have applied for it and just didn't get it

[@ElementalDj]

I mean he was in the Middle East in the past 9 months multiple times for business deals, but Jason is the 🐐 nonetheless

[@likemy]

I have not watched a single event stream since Saudis bought ESL.

[@qBeYcarpet]

Dwayne "The Bag" Johnson Esports

[@derelmo8576]

Very interested in the Webedia Stuff. They are very big in Germany and the Gamestar you mentioned ist one of the last bastions of games journalism that really has a following here.

[@SVANEf]

Great videos as always!

[@AGSkaary]

I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. Thank you for bringing attention to these things Richard. o7

[@bradleyfirby648]

The best part of the conflict of interest is that it'll be obvious if there's any match fixing since Falcons CS2 playing well against anyone in the top 15 will stick out like a sore thumb

[@ShadowWasntHere8433]

Meanwhile Microsoft shutters 4 studios to, and I quote, “Focus on larger projects with Bethesda”

[@loissherman1336]

I love watching rich for my pga tour/liv golf updates 😆

This video was bang on, pointing out the hypocrisy at every level, absolutely love it.

[@Zetriat]

thank you mr. Lewis

TSM got wrecked by the FTX disaster and I would honestly believe that they are back to the roots as in almost no money to work with.

[@mraaronstewart1556]

19:57 - Closest thing to Richard saying "Chat, is this real?"

[@jakobschulz7500]

Its sad how few people actually talk bout this topic. I have seen only you and sideshow saying anything critical. Is it because they don't want to destroy their career and of fear of consequences?

[@MrKrazyKap]

The LIV golf prick being prized by The Good Bad Rugby show was sickening and I'm at least glad there was very clear detestation there...

[@tylershapiro2964]

XD I’m a Bournemouth and a mouz fan I feel justified now.

[@Hax187]

[@theAirborne17th]

The people that should be fired out of TSM disastrous course is either Regi...or cronies so not much there for firing.

[@kankun123]

just like a south park episode. hilarious.

40:10 We are becoming the WWE, manufactured results from storylines created and nutured by,in this case, Saudi.

[@pandarexx780]

Funny how they went with only 5M for the dota tournament lmao.

[@sebastiangundolf6740]

Since TI prices went down so far, 5 millions will still easily be the highest price money for any Dota tournament this year.. and that's all they care about. Would they have known how low the TI prices were going to be last year, they also wouldn't have spend so much money on that. Assholes just need to show off that they are the richest and can easily spend as much as needed. But not more, because they don't care about the games, not about the players and not the tiniest bit about the viewers, community or whatever we call them. Why the hell would anyone want to go to a effing desert, to play in front of a handful of people that share morals and values with our iron age ancestors... I have more respect for any honest prostitute and drug dealer

[@daveinthemicrowave]

A small note on the Dean takahashi/ Game reviewers don't need to be good at games If you are terrible at games you can still do fantastic work on some aspects of the game for example game performance/ optimization, ethics, microtransactions and similar topics but as for reviewing the gameplay you should at least be competent.

[@gamingmarcus]

lmao love 9:26

[@Kirbydreaming]

So these orgs dont see the trap here, blinded by greed or something ?

Yeah but all the hooks are covered with freeeee cheeeeese!

He lives in SA though, doesn’t he?

[@duelme1234]

I know i am in no place to question Richard and Victor's friendship, but this just feels so weird hearing liquid being part of the club and Richard having to put them further on blast in June. There are likely tons of factors outside the general public's knowledge and plenty of people are prob innocent but still.

There's no point in taking this stance. Esports orgs are failing financially for the most part. You can't expect them to just sit back when they have an easy way to satisfy shareholders.
