Thoughts on Brain Power
My experience with Brain Power has been my favorite of any team that I've played with. Not only do I think it was the best team, but the team atmosphere was extremely healthy and fun, and I am extremely grateful to the team for picking me up on such short notice for the previous Regionals. No one took criticism personally, the drafting and shotcalling were great, and we were all on the same page as a team. That is what makes the dissolution of Brain Power all the more saddening.
These last few weeks we have been looking stronger than ever, having extremely positive scrim results vs every team. I don't have any hesitation in saying that I think that we would have been very strong contestants for 1st or 2nd in the next Regionals. Even so, we still dissolved. One player leaving isn't enough cause for us to disband, but it was actually two players that decided to leave. We felt that looking for new opportunities as individuals would be the better option for us rather than trying to salvage the team, even though we were going to receive contracts for a sponsorship this week.
In regards to the future of the remaining players, nothing is set in stone. We're each looking for new opportunities, although this may (hopefully) lead us to crossing paths on new teams. I am extremely grateful to have played with each and every player on the team and I wish them all nothing but the best in the future. Rosters need to be locked in by July 7th, so there is a lot of work to do with very little time, but I've never been more motivated. Lastly, a big thank you to all the fans that stuck by me and Brain Power throughout our journey, you're support means the world.
