On November 6, NRG Esports CEO and founder Andy Miller announced the firing of Overwatch team manager Max Bateman via Twitter, 14 hours after a woman said that he had sexually assaulted her. Miller tweeted that Bateman's firing was "in accordance with NRG ESports zero tolerance policy."

Most Rocket League players have scored an own-goal at some point in their life, but having that moment happen on the championship stage can be a little demoralising.

A woman said earlier this week that Max Bateman, former manager of the San Francisco Shock of the forthcoming Overwatch League, sexually assaulted her in September after a drink he gave her made her feel dizzy and confused, and later had her "in and out of consciousness".

Fourteen hours after the woman posted about what happened on Twitter, using the handle "Krystlin," the Shock fired Bateman.

It was the day after hurricane Irma had hit Puerto Rico, and Luis Galarza Figueroa was left without options. Walking outside of his family's home in Barceloneta after the storm subsided, he could see trees and cables on the ground.

The power, something Figueora needed for many things including his burgeoning competitive gaming career, was gone.
