Today I said goodbye to my biggest supporter in my life, both in and out of game. You always believed in me, and I’m going to do everything in my power to make you proud. I love you, I miss you, and I hope to see you again. Rest in peace, dad. Hold your loved ones close everyone.

My sister published a book of poems she’s written during her cancer journey so far. Please consider buying a copy and giving it a read. If not, please share. It’s raw, honest, and reflects on the ups and downs of cancer. Tearing of the Fabric by Naia Sauvola. Link below 👇🏻

So many players/coaches/staff deserving of a position forced to go without, hard to see

My premier team way back in cs got slapped in an open qual by @TenZOfficial , and watching his rise since then has been humbling. Enjoy the next chapter of your career goat.

Playing around with simple editing for posting lineup clips on twitter/discord. Feedback appreciated :D

Anyone else’s Valorant start lagging/rubberbanding super hard for a bit when tabbing back in?

Comfortable with my coaching process to open it fully. 5 years pro CS, 4 years pro val, international LAN xp, yada yada. Confident in my ability to help anyone elevate their game to a higher level. For more info booking, join the discord discord.gg/bwqwEqsTxb

Big long tweet about competing, challengers, and my future below. If you don't want to read all'at, TLDR: I would still like to compete but need to regain my love of the process. While I prepare myself and grind, I will be offering coaching services for supplemental income. Discord link: discord.gg/bwqwEqsTxb In the last three years, my decline in the competitive space has been unquestionable and steady. Coming from tier 1 and being a top player in the region, to being relegated out of challengers has been a truly humbling experience. I have learned equally as much about my character and myself in my fall from grace as I had in my ascension to it, which I am grateful for, but the rumination accompanying the failures are taxing. I have come to terms with my failures. I understand them, and I take accountability for them. I have been forced to spend a considerable amount of time seeking introspectively for the reason there has been such drastic change in myself as a player and a competitor. Throughout the different attempts at tackling every problem I could find about myself as a player, one thing remained constant: I always felt like I was fighting an uphill battle. It took a lot of reflection, many good friends, teammates, and mentors for me to realize the truth; I simply have lost my love of the process. This is a difficult reality to face. Losing the very thing that brought me to heights I never thought I could reach is a brutal pill to swallow. My rise to my peak as a player was supported by the sheer work I put in, but the critical difference is that it never felt like work. I simply loved playing val and cs, and the more hours I sunk the better and better I became. The amount of time I put into the game outside of my team practice has fallen to a minute fraction of what it was when I was at my best. Despite the problem being clear to me, the reason for it is more complex. I believe a combination of a bad mentality, a feeling of being disconnected from the community, and poor prioritization of my mental health has led me to actively avoid the process of individual grind and improvement that I used to love. My passion for competition and working with my teammates to improve is still very much alive. I have a strong desire to win and the feeling of winning and achieving new heights with a group of good people is unrivaled. With all of these factors considered, I have a way forward. I will eventually continue competing as a player, and until then I will be spending some time addressing all of the issues that lead to my aversion of the grind. I plan on building myself back up as a player using the same routines that did it the first time. I will not be actively seeking any offers for competition until I feel I have successfully reignited the same passion for the grind I once had out of respect for any potential future teammates. I do not want to be on a roster until I am confident I am the best version of myself, or on a clear path to it. In the meantime, as I prepare myself for competition, for supplemental income I will be starting a coaching service for both individuals and teams. I will be looking for only a small number of clients at the moment to iron out the process. Details are in my discord: discord.gg/bwqwEqsTxb

Will be updating everyone regarding my future soon, working on having some things prepared for when I do. Much love

Out of challengers. To call the last two seasons a disappointment would be too kind, they have been an utter disaster from me personally from start to finish. I’ll be spending the next few days deciding my next steps, whether it be as a player or otherwise. I appreciate those who have continually supported me, and I deeply apologize for the disappointments.

did trump just get dinked?
