My Sincerest Apologies
I'd like to start things off by saying that I'm sorry for my actions the past Thursday.
When the five of us agreed on what we were going to do during the second game we were all frustrated, tired, and hungry. After Omega was confirmed unable to connect to the game and that I would have to sub in the mood was killed. We were all confident in ourselves that we would be able to put up a good fight with Soar and possibly win. So once our hopes were shattered we just looked for the easy way out and that way was the 5 man invade. I think we all secretly hoped that somehow our shenanigans would somehow work out but unfortunately they did not. I don't believe that any part of what I just said was an acceptable reason for our actions, but they are the reasons that we acted upon.
After game 2, I was hit with the hardest feeling of regret that I've ever had. In the heat of the moment I wasn't thinking about anything other than the game. I realize now how disrespectful and ungrateful I was being with what I had done. HiRez has been nothing but great to me and I went ahead and made a fool out of them because I felt frustrated. And for that I am deeply sorry.
And though I haven't been a part of the Envy team for very long, I could already tell how amazing it was to be a part of them. The staff on this team are always ready and willing to help their players whenever help is needed and they truly want nothing more than to see us succeed. When I became part of the Envy team I felt nothing but pride and joy. All I wanted to do was brag to my family and friends that I was a part of this team.
I felt nothing but Pride as part of Team Envyus, and I'm very sorry that I could not reciprocate that feeling.
To the guys on Soar, What we did was extremely unsportsmanlike and I'm sorry that we did not give you the games you deserved and prepared for. It was not right of us to show up for our games and to put all of your practice and hard work to waste.
Finally to the spectators and all of the fans, I never in a million years thought that if I were to ever play in the SPL that my debut game would last less than 2 minutes. I know that we've been struggling a lot as of late with our performance and I also know that there are a lot of you out there who stuck with us and continued to give us your support through all of the bad. To you most of all I apologize. I know exactly what it feels like to be let down by people you look up to and for me to go ahead and do that to you all I'm ashamed of myself.
Going forward I plan to give my absolute best and to work as hard as I can. Again, I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused and for all of the people I disrespected. I hope that at some point you can forgive me but until then I plan to give it my all.
