"When I saw the scoreline, 12-12, I was like, 'That was what it was supposed to be at the Shanghai Major,'" karrigan told HLTV after the match.

What's your favorite social network?

I thoroughly enjoy both Facebook and Twitter, both for different reasons - one keeps me in touch with old friends, the other makes new ones.

Who do you wish followed you?

Richard Lewis, Thorin, and/or Jacob Wolf. All three are inspiring journalists that encouraged me to write about esports.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

Iceberg failing to pay their MDL players their salary would be the highlight, as it was my first time releasing a report of that caliber.
