*By Britt Terrell* sOAZ is back. Paul Boyer, a.k.a. sOAZ, the former starting top laner for Team FNATIC, was sidelined with a hand injury during the Spring Split season of eSports' League of Legends. But while the veteran player is healed and back in action, he's fighting to reclaim his starting spot with Team FNATIC. "I think can learn from a lot of things, especially in terms of communication, a lot of small details," said Boyer. Cheddar caught up with sOAZ in the wake of the team's unsuccessful run in the Mid-Season Invitational. He spoke about the future of FNATIC as the team heads into the Summer Split. "I think we're just looking to have a complete, like six-man roster," he said. "I think we're just going to see more play of both Bwipo and I during the season." Gabriël "Bwipo" Rau moved into the starting top laner position after sOAZ was injured. In a recent interview, Bwipo [talked about his relationship](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3D4j2pOYco) with sOAZ since moving into the starting spot. "Since what happened with the injury it's been really difficult for me to approach him, Bwipo said. sOAZ also speaks about his fans in the wake of his accident. "Most of the fans have been very supportive for me," he said. "It was pretty bad times so i'm pretty grateful of the fans sending like nice messages." sOAZ left Korea only a few weeks ago, training for the upcoming season. "I didn't see much play so I wanted to go to Korea to get to play the game a bit, practice as much as possible," adding "I had a bit of time off, a lot of practice. I'm feeling a lot better, back to normal right now." For the full interview, [click here](https://cheddar.com/videos/soaz-is-back-and-ready-for-the-summer-split).

Starbucks’ Change Flushes Out a Debate Over Public Restroom Access
Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
Trump Highlights Partnership Investing $500 Billion in AI
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
