Well, I guess it's time to launch this thing.
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Logan Ramhap. I've been a podcaster for the Counter-Strike podcast, "Overtime on Inferno," from 2021 through to 2025, and have interviewed players like Swisher, launders, and Rejin. I've been casting collegiate Valorant and League of Legends for a couple years, and I've been involved in production for just as long, if not longer.
At this point, I've mostly gotten bored with Counter-Strike as an esport. While the game is still great, and will probably forever be my favorite esport, it's become stale to watch. The map pool changes only once every year at best, and at last addition it was a map that was already "solved." While I've been dissuaded with CS, I've rekindled my love for League of Legends, and the rest of the esports scene.
So here's the goal:
I want to make content by viewers, for viewers, written like you're hearing me talk in between games on the couch (which for some of my friends will be awkward because they'll hear it twice). If a team is shit, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I'll try and leave my biases at the door, but they may show through.
The first things you'll see from us:
- Weekly LCS and LEC power rankings
- A deep dive into one team every week, or an interesting pick someone makes
What you may also see occasionally:
- Some amount of Valorant coverage... I think.
- Random Counter-Strike articles (though if you want more consistent CS coverage, go subscribe to readtldr.gg)
We've got a great team of people here, some with esports experience, some without. All of us are working hard to try and show that we can produce the best content possible. We're not going to show ads on the site, we're not trying to make money or become famous; we're just trying to tell the story the way we see it.
So what can you do now? Well first, you can sign up here, or by clicking the little button on the bottom right. It's free, and will continue to be free. This isn't a money making venture. Signing up gets you email notifications from us every time we post an article. For now, we'll be focusing primarily on League when the season starts up in January, maybe do a preseason ranking or two. Signing up also gives us data on who's reading what we're writing, and lets us know how to shape our content for the future.
A couple of thanks before I let you go: my editor Kevin for dealing with my lack of English, Andy for the graphics, Jack for the logo, Kyle for the first read through, Elliott for the tagline and Joe and Stephen for helping with the web side of things. These people helped me create this how I wanted this to be, and it wouldn't be here without them.
