The Summoning Hour - AFK Segment - Education High Ground and COVID-19's Impact

The Summoning Hour - AFK Segment - Education High Ground and COVID-19's Impact Hello everyone! My computer is still undergoing some maintenance so I'm putting together this episode. With Riot coming out with new guidelines that impact collegiate and high school esports it caused quite the spurned group outrage on twitter and on multiple discords. I can understand some folks feeling like they're getting screwed and/or they have some sort of moral right to use these tools for students as they're not commercializing someone else's product and that it ultimately helps a company that already rakes in cash. But, there's also a civil way to go about it. I think some folks are high on their own supply at the moment and need to really look at the big picture and realize they have to make a different move if they want to change the conversation in more drastic ways. I have to side with Riot on this one. COVID-19 is screwing everyone. Collegiate esports and student life notwithstanding.  But what do we do at this point? What can we do? We do our best and we get creative with things. I think that's the right approach. Now more than ever, everyone has to put their best foot forward and decide what they really want to make it out of this whole situation. Are you going to put everything on pause for an unforeseeable amount of time or are you going to come out ahead? There is opportunity within this bizarre state of affairs. Who is going to find it first?
