@LSXYZ9 thank you for your advice but I respectfully disagree and the only way to truly prove it would be to simply show in that x amount of time. I suppose we will both find out.

@LSXYZ9 respectfully I did the math based on my current improvement rate and I am 6 months out with enough in savings to last within that amount of time with rent + other factors. twitter limits my words, if you would like to have a discussion i am open.

wins and losses stream it all, its about showing the inbetween
EMERGENCY MEETING:.Gorillajones has been playing offstream for the past 9 hours, dropping to 550 lp before starting his stream just 40 minutes ago. Rather than 1000lp or Top10 NA it seems he might just drop to master tier soon if he doesn't start winning.

Good enough on mechanics now that I don’t need to think about it. First 15 min of macro perfect for tracking jg so no more dying to ganks. Should be able to be 800-1000 lp p comfortably without thinking. Gonna start dodging on jg and sup now cause too much to learn. Game is easy.

after all this traction not 1 person has given me a logical reason why I am not ready other than there is no way I am that good. Time will prove what I need it to prove.

For progress today I introduced macro into my gameplay and essentially only looked at how the minimap functions first 15 min. No idea how much lp was netted. Spacing laning skillshots farming and mechanics should be unstoppable by next session. Ur all fucked lmfao.

Sorry to everyone that this may disappoint but I will not be returning to Oklahoma Christian next semester. Unfortunately with a combination of my financial situation changing and my inability to put importance on classes, playing under clol is no longer an option for me.

On a real note tho I did actually nuke my right hand the other day. First time in my life the pain has been this bad and in between games I’ve been dunking it in ice water. Yesterday pain started to shoot to my elbow. Just gonna keep pushing till this fucker falls off.

After putting in effort responding to all the questions and comments on here and discord I have concluded that when I stream I will only be looking at chat when I am doing nothing else. Thank you for the support I will put my best foot forward to prove all of you right or wrong.

Played some thoughtless low effort gameplay today and got tilted from being shit. Streamed it knowing it wouldn’t be a good look. A break to me means not 100% progress but I’m still playing the game. Everything I do is towards pro and soon the lp will show that.

@wolverene you are correct but you fail to recognize where he comes from, he has been around not just league but the esports scene as a whole for a very long time, longer than even my words could describe. He has seen what happens at the worst and believes it isnt worth it. Simple as that.

How do u even want to pursue pro after seeing something like this. Perfect potential left unnoticed by riot. Whats to strive for? No money no help and unfortunately the esports veil is unraveling.
TLDR: “My Future in Gaming” and additional thoughts on league/competitive. Also, good luck to everyone participating in OQ! 🎊🎊

regardless of how the combine ends it was a lot of fun and is porbbaly the best thing to happen to the tier 3 scene in forever, the massive amount of work and people that were put into this is really cool to see. honestly i didnt really learn much but I still really enjoyed --.

@AsycLoL Cause I am brother, as I said in another post it’s easy to say top of acad is pro ready but it’s incomprehensibly more difficult to see that in someone like me no matter how much evidence or reasoning I provide. Only thing left to do now is prove it.

Sad to say I won’t be able to effectively practice today, electricity getting turned off from factors I can’t control. Not sure what I’m gonna do instead but I will get over it. There is no rush to improvement.

When it’s time to entertain I will entertain. When it’s time to win I will win. Right now it’s time to improve so I will improve. I can finally see the finish line and I will not let the mountain of shit get in the way. I AM THE CHANGE.

super fucking dissapointed to not play oq2. It actually made me physically sick to see that my team not only didnt get in on rank, tied with the 24th in rank, lost the tiebreaker to lp, AND ALSO got 1 fucking vote.

Extremely sad and disappointed to say I won’t be playing this oq. Irl problems are catching up with me and I will be working during this time instead. If any team needs a last minute sub for lp I’m gm and close to chall. Still offering coaching.

Looking to play ACL after roster withdrew, open to playing on any team. Currently playing on clol team and using ACL to prove myself for next nacloqs 4 years comp experience.Many references and vods upon request.The 2 last oqs I participated in I went 2-3
Our players and admins are withdrawing the team from the ACL Fall Split. This decision was made with the best interests of everyone involved in the situation.

Identified the 3-5 champs for climbing today which is gonna help narrow down my research. Didn't rest my hand properly yesterday from tilt queing so my camera control and spacing was complete shit. Also talked a lot less on stream which prevented burnout, gonna be on later too.

The problem with the average persons mentality is that they are too focused on what a person should do that they forget what a person can do.

Lucas was not only one of the best directors ive ever met, but also one of the best people. He sat with me during recruiting for hours and took a chance on me where others wouldn't. Everyday he would put in 200% towards this passion project and I am glad I could be a part of it.
I am stepping away from Oklahoma Christian University Esports. This is my story, and the start of a short campaign called the Esports Impact Report. I will announce my next move soon. Thank you to everyone who I've grown with over the past 5 years.

I dont struggle if I wanted to climb I would climb.
@TheOldestGreg Except I wouldn't reply to that person the same way if they were say, rank 1 player and don't struggle to get grandmaster even. Trying to compare who I was/my level in starcraft and the circumstances leading to me being homeless in Korea (i was homeless in the usa too lol) is.

Last day of the combine went 2-1, Most impressive people in that game were @Prismal @DieselLoL_ @lolreppy who made the game feel super high level. Also I should thank @Draxyr who was the biggest factor in my improvement and went out of his way to help me, even tho he is retired.

Nothing but the hugest vouch for @VikingAntonLOL and showing me how it is. It truly is all a mindset and the only thing I regret is not starting sooner. This is with NO GYM and only dieting
From 113-116 to 95-96 kg!. when I played in LFL with IZI Dream I decided to go hard at the gym and nutrition took around 6-8 months but could go faster. Just start if you wanna change🤠
