Frankie “GetFrank” Ward

I'm determined to spend more time in Kilkenny and need a guitar to do music streams with... also I'm in Ireland - I can't be without music!

Got to meet the lovely Frank of and was torn between a Rathbone and a Sheeran model, and Ed won - the Wee Lowden style size is a perfect foil to my tiny hands. Also, it just resonates wonderfully. Call it an heirloom - but also I need to get writing again...

Also my father-in-law Tom Lacey can now play Zombie by the Cranberries so we're off to a flying start. Christy Moore next!

Getting to be part of , & events over the past few years has been a privilege. They have such fun approaches to tournament formats and broadcasts that I absolutely adore.

It was such a joy to head to Stockholm for Next M with & - I even got a tour of the Sphere and and definitely think London needs an IO here!

Thanks to everyone I shared panels with!

Epic final weekend where I didn't take many photos so here's a ton of selfies and a nice group shot, oh and a hotel room photo where I was like "maybe my hair is ok today!?"

Anyway, the gang have taught me loads in five short weeks, whether that's watching the broadcasts at home or being with them in the studio. It very much felt like things clicked for me this weekend and there were so many nailbiter endgames, especially the final Showdown where one point stood between the top two. Thanks to the team for having me on the show and making me part of the gang.

The lovely snapped some pics of us in action at Red Bull Flick from in Copenhagen last month. It was really nice to be behind a desk talking about again

I often forget to take photos when I'm working events because there's no time and I also feel embarassed asking but this time I decided to snap a few with the players during the media day of Red Bull Flick because I've missed them, quite frankly!

Loved hosting the show, it was fun to see the players keen to win but also be all smiles when having to say goodbye in the lower bracket. A bit of light relief before most of them get straight back into 5v5.

Aoife the Baby turns six months old on Thursday. I could say it's gone quickly but the newborn stage for a time felt endless. Lack of sleep, struggling to balance work and Baby, social media induced work fomo and the esports world making big changes. But mostly, keeping a small human alive and navigating hearing tests and food allergies has taken a serious toll at times.

This year has been hard so far, but also fun and exciting and lovely. ATB is a cheeky babe and it's been amazing to see her personality emerge. The PND symptoms I was experiencing have eased off somewhat, although some days will always be tougher than others.

She starts childcare (three days a week) this week so I'll have more of a work-life balance and get back to some hosting - I'll be at Twitchcon Europe and then have an exciting show at the end of July that I can't wait to tell you about.

To tell you the truth, I don't know when my next CSGO event is. I am taking June off from events to spend some time with my daughter and to really try to be in the moment; I came back earlier than I had planned because you don't say no to a Major!

asking me to be part of the Major means the world. The talent, production and players were all incredible. What a team we made.

captured me backstage as I prepared to go onstage for the opening ceremony of the Major Antwerp. I was alternating between running my speech and stopping to take in my surroundings, something .gg taught me the other day, to remind myself that I belong here.

Loving the makeup from .manolache each day at the - today i'm wearing the iconic liquid lip colour in #1 - which makes me so sad that we don't have any Sephora stores in the UK because I wish I owned it!!! Also my first time wearing foundation and it's great

The great took some snaps of me filming Aoife the Baby take on her first PickEms challenge...

Keep your eyes peeled during the to see what she chose. Can you predict better than a literal baby???

Pics from the Awards 2022. Thanks to MUAs and and the incredible .wilson for showing me the BAFTA hosting ropes.

Suit by with a top I had balled up at the back of the wardrobe; I had to get the outfit the day before as I was a last minute cover host for the brilliant Julia Hardy who unfortunately had COVID. The shoes were from a sample sale - I also have them in blue. They're high but the seventies-style platform makes them wearable and a shoe of dreams.

Sometimes you're trying to capture a photo for a campaign and the baby starts crying and the dog doesn't understand why she's finally allowed on the "good" sofa... 😅

How I wanted my passport photo to look v how it actually turned out.

Taken in the same booth. But the passport office doesn't want to me to look back on my fringe with pride in 30 years time when Aoife finds my passport battered and forgotten in an overstuffed drawer...

Very excited to see make the main event at so repped the Brits out in Brixton last night. (Those Swedes aren't bad either tbf.)

Just about managed to find time to get camera ready for a quick bit of filming today... Needless to say the dressing gown is on and Aoife is post feed and snoozing away on my lap already.

Back in my office filming today between feeding Aoife - I'm lucky to have in-laws to give her cuddles while I'm upstairs. We think she is having a growth spurt because she was constantly demanding feeds from 11pm to 11am, so this photo absolutely has a bit of filter on it because I'm quite the wreckfest. Video should come out on Monday as it's a first look at a brand new gaming product - and it's a beast...

I'm editing a YouTube video about the moment I found out about being pregnant and answering your questions. One I was asked a couple of times was the best/least expected impacts of pregnancy. The first is seeing and feeling the baby move - simultaneously the most odd but natural thing in the world, but also - being honest - my hair is huggggge cos pregnancy stops you losing the usual 100 hairs a day so I need to make the most of it before the baby arrives and it all falls out...
