Is Riv on valorant team?

Esports casters fall under a different team than game teams. (So people like Dash, Phreak, and Riv aren't on the League team).

I'm guessing blate recognized my name. I'm a VALORANT dev, but I also happen to be Riv's fiance.

It takes some time to get all that set up. I just chatted with one of our comms folks this morning to get me set up with it.

The fact that you actually talk to people on Reddit already makes you 10 times more likable than most other developer studios I know of.

Interacting with the community is a big deal that many of them don't seem to be aware of.

we <3 you too, fam =D

Hey, agency side market researcher here :D Do you have any tips on making it into the research industry within gaming?

Hey there! I can't speak to the whole industry, but I can speak to my experience at Riot :) I think the most important things you can do are to demonstrate (1) you have most of the skills that they need, and you're open to learning the rest; (2) you're open to both giving and receiving feedback, and (3) you've got a growth mindset, with a strong desire to learn and improve.

For the first, I'd recommend watching the different vods we have of talks at different conferences. Steve Mack has an outstanding talk at the Game UX Summit 2016 about our embed model. I'd also recommend you read Lean UX by Jeff Gothelf.

Hope this helps <3

Does your name mean 9 in Greek or am I crazy

They do sound the same! εννέα is pronounced like "ennéa," which is super close. My name comes from the Latin epic "The Aeneid," similar to the Greek "The Odyssey."
