Video games have come a long way from being every basement dwellers favorite past time, they are now played in Olympic sized stadiums in tournaments with prize pools that can eclipse $30 million, with people like Kevin Durant And Diddy dropping tons of money into eSports organizations, investing in the next big global phenomenon.

With all that cash you already know that players are getting their piece of the bag, with deals for the biggest stars in games like League of Legends ranging from $900k-$2.5 Million per year, BEFORE tournament winnings. If you think that’s brazy, following their big win at the Dota 2 world championship (known as the international), each player on Team OG is set to make $6.5 million this year after their salaries/winnings are added up. That’s right, 7 fucking digits playing computer games, maybe the 2nd coolest job possible after backup NFL QB. So what do these eSports athletes do with all that scrilla? Cop fucking HEAT for flexing on stage of course!

You see, eSports are unique from other sports because there is zero physical contact, with players simply sitting in front of their monitors battling it out in the virtual world rather than the grass field. This setup allows for these athletes to wear whatever the fuck they want on their feet, you know since they’ll just be sitting, and they do not disappoint.

Super hype kicks tend to dominate every eSports stage regardless of the game, and you can chalk this up to the continent of Asia’s penchant for being ridiculously nasty at video games and flexing rare expensive jawnz every chance they get. Balenciaga’s super chunky (and also very fucking heavy) triple S sneaker, which retails for $975, was the hottest on stage look for most of the Overwatch league Players and also the go to shoe for all of the hyped Chinese League of Legends LPL teams, before they league signed an exclusive on stage deal with Nike to start 2019.

You’ll see everything from rare Jordan’s to the latest from Gucci on stage at any given time, with teams often coordinating fire kicks to add cohesiveness to their fits. Just look at Team Liquid shining in these Jordan 9s (MJ is an investor in their organization):

eSports may be frowned upon by your more traditional sports fan, but they are here to stay, and they are here to flex all over your other favorite league.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we started to see major footwear manufacturers start pumping out signature kicks for these eSports athletes in the very near future.

Now someone tell these kids they need to ice their arms after on stage games, because the flexing is just incredible.

Tiger won his 82nd PGA tour event, a historic win as he tied Sam Snead for most all time. He won in dominant fashion at the ZOZO championship held in Japan this weekend. The inaugural ZOZO championship held a solid field including Tiger, Matsyu, Rory, JT amongst others. for such an historic win at an historic event no better award then the circle Dyson fan that defies logic. Don’t think I’ll ever understand how this fan works but what a trophy to behold. Congrats to the Big Cat enjoy the fan this fall.

2019 Offseason Super Bowl MVP, Baker Mayfield appeared to be a little jelly over his star wide receivers post game gift to the one and only Tom Brady, a true and noble QB. A fresh custom pair of OBJ’s cleat made with goat hair (nice touch). A true 1 of 1. Maybe 2 of 2 now. Baker will likely make some wise ass remarks how his WRs have been brainwashed by Colin Cowherd to dislike him and not give him shiny shoes. Stick to commercials Baker.

To kick off a weekend of EPL football action, Leicester City stomped Southampton 9-0 last night in a game that tied the record for largest margin of victory in premier league history.

Who was in net for that Leicester City side that allowed them to tie that record by keeping a clean sheet? None other than Danish brick wall Kasper Schmeichel, whose father, the legendary Peter Schmeichel, also did just that for Man U back in 1995 against a bum ass Ipswich side. I mean god damn, talk about a statistic, what are the odds that something like this happens? 1 in 6,000,000,000,000,000? I assume the Schmeichel house was made entirely out of brick to instill that mentality into a young Kasper growing up, turning him into the spitting image of his father, blonde hair and blocked shots galore, I mean remember shit he was doing in the World Cup?

The most brazy part about the above stat is that it’s not the first time this father son duo has done something like this, via Kasper’s Wikipedia:

On 2 May 2016, he won the Premier League title at 29 years of age, the same age and same calendar day when his father won Manchester United’s first such title in 1993. On both occasions, the respective teams (Manchester United and Leicester City) clinched the titles by nearest rivals (Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur) not winning.^[75]The Schmeichels became the only biological father and son to win the Premier League, as well as being in the same position to do so.

I’m over here having a beer with my Dad and they’re over there winning EPL titles and shit, as is their family tradition. True Danish royalty.

Tik tok isn’t my favorite place in the world but often provides viral entertaining cringe worthy videos. Example A: this goldy locks HS football player who thinks he’s got all the “swag” on the grid iron. Glad to see swag is still HS lingo.

Let’s dive a little deeper into Tye Mandell game stats, a junior in a Michigan HS. His mom probably won’t appreciate this but this what you get when you post on tik tok.

First off, 0 star recruit yikes. Appears this kid gets some burn but not much in a tight matchup weak stat line but still an L for the squad and for his night. 3 carries though not too shabby.

Another L for Tye.

Next game huge L for the Fire Mason meaning we are getting some garbage time snaps boy!

Get the reps up kid then you can post on Tik tok.

Following a 5-3 defeat to crosstown rivals LAFC in the craziest edition of the “El Traffico” derby yet, LA Galaxy star Zlatan Ibrahimovic left the opposing fans with one last gesture to remember him by:

Zlatan has a last goodbye for a heckling LAFC fan, the Marshawn Lynch memorial crotch grab pic.twitter.com/2Z1Y2aSbsw

Zlatan is likely done in the MLS after 1.5 seasons of incredible goals and hilarious off the pitch statements, as he has been linked with a move back to Europe (Most recently with Serie A side Napoli) to end his legendary career.

Zlatan leaving with a crotch grab is very much in character for the man who once kicked a teammate in the face at Ajax to celebrate a big win, told Paris Saint Germain fans he would stay in Paris only if the Eiffel Tower was renamed Zlatan tower and forced a move out of Barcelona after publicly threatening to beat then manager Pep Guardiola’s ass.

Yes you can add this event to the long list of controversial things he has done in his career, but don’t get it twisted, it’s incidents like this that only add to the legend.

Zlatan being Zlatan is why we love him, never change king.

PS: here is what Zlatan had to say about his future in the MLS/the MLS in general after the game:

“This could be my last game. Let’s see what happens. Is that more important than who is winning the MLS [Cup]? Yes, yes it is,” later adding, “Imagine if I don’t play in the MLS. Who will you talk about then?”

“When you play, you want to get credit back for when you’re playing. … I did my best. I think everybody did their best. What happens next year, I don’t know. If I stay, I think for MLS it’s good because the whole world will watch it. If I don’t stay, nobody will remember what MLS is.”

Is he wrong? Kinda, but also not really.
