people screaming at pros back in the day after betting on matches was so insane to me

Glad to know my assumptions were (mostly) right, I used to play soccer professionally but had to retire early, want to still compete and gaming has always been a passion of mine so I'm moving towards being able to play in pro valorant. The only thing I didn't know was the streaming requirement I thought they did it just cause it was what they felt like doing.

4:49 this guy really said all he can and absolutely was speaking facts. Really great highlight that you chose and it is satisfying to see someone know how to respond to rude people.

I was a pro gamer from April 2020 to December 2020 and it was awful. I did that because I was a pro athlete and since I wasn't able to compete during that time i started gaming. I had the mentality of an athlete so I was able to get good fast, but at the cost of staying in front of the PC up to 16 hours a day. I was eating junk food, reviewing pro players games and improving my mechanical skills and all of that led up to sleeping problems and I went up to 96 kg where mg starting weight was 86. 10kg in 8 months! I was not seeing my friends anymore and i started to become more and more obsessed to be good (this happened even in months where the quarantine wasn't applied. Then I abandon gaming with "only" 25k earned in 8 months (which is not much compared to the time and effort dedicated to this game)

That's why Aceu took up the Shroud route too! Even Tarik.

ive always wanted to be high ranked but not on an actual pro team

thank you for this video !!

Great video. Concise and well thought out.

thanks to help me thinking outside the box

love how the good is like 2 seconds long and the bad is a year long lol

this video is really motivating, as many career and paths tips at the end really hits for many other lifestyle, not just pro gamer.

I too had a dream of becoming a pro. I was exceptional at playing the original dota and won several local trophies myself. BUT you have to be nearly perfect, nearly indestructible in your early days to get attraction. Every single mistake, every single shortcoming means death to our dreams. That too would be the story of my journey. Placed top 3 in first national tournament, then 3 again and finally won a champion trophy. Then after that, some solid placings but never at the top again, then just one summer of awful games. I mean, we got dumpstered in every game. The management parted ways with us. A glorious journey only to be disbanded after one awful tournament

Was that you in the TurboTax ad? Lol. How did you get that?

I am a 16 year old from from Bangladesh , since i was 10-11 I always wanted to be a pro gamer and compete at the highest level . I used to watch shroud , Hiko and other streamers and i knew instantly that this is what i want to do with my life , I am now immortal 2 in valorant and i am trying to get better each day , The country where i am from, this job is considered to be stupid , my brother actually is the main finance of my family , he said if i went radiant at the age of 17 , He will try to talk with our parents, I from deep down from my heart want to choose this carrier, i want to become pro in valorant and at least want to lift 1 major trophy in my life , I now wait to see what come ahead of my life and my carrier

Great thing to really have is a backup plan, I'm truly happy that i accomplished my degree and did whatever the else I want in terms of joining gaming as a certain career that I have been dreaming... I gave myself a year or so, when it didn't work out for me due to stress and like the "rationality" of realization that this isn't going to put me on the spot to succeed... I continued my Plan B and that is to work as a Software Engineer. So yeah, it truly helps to have a plan.

Thank u i will take seriously, i promisse!!!!!

The most realistic video about pro gamers. Stil wanna go pro :)) still want to prove to myself old bastard of 27 yrs that i can do it ❤ thanks

Great video! I myself am an aspiring pro for val and everything in this video is something I’ve thought about time and time again. I hope one day to be on the big stage but, as of right now I just put my head down and work until I create an opportunity for myself.

Amazing video ngl!
