Journey to the other side..
Hi everyone.. I've been pretty much at a loss for words all I could say was "what happens now and where do I go from here.."
I started competitive gaming in League of Legends and almost made it pro or at least a lot further than most people can say they did.. In the end I didn't make it and I quit to go to school to make my dad happy. I went to school and got a chance to go to worlds in a different game and met some cool people in that game, I got to meet the old DIG HotS squad and they told me all about this game and thought I had to try it once I got back to NA.
As soon as I got back I downloaded it and fell in love! I grinded my ass off for fun and got #1 on HotsLogs(Only ranking system back then) and psalm brought me onto Kappa Wolves! That roster had it's ups and downs but we became great friends in the end, something I thought I would never get back since I quit league, a group of teammates and friends I can call brothers!
After that journey I joined Naventic with Zuna,Kenma,Fan,McIntyre and they taught me the game in a way I could not have learned since the short amount of time I did. I really appreciate and love these guys even tho the team went downhill, but it was one of the happiest moments of my life I will never forgot I got to win a NA championship at Dreamhack Austin!
Fastforward to the last team I played with and what could have been with (bkid,daneski,ViN,Liam) I finally got the roster I loved and enjoyed waking up to scrim with every single day we had together. I'm sad it ended the way it did with 0 communication from Blizzard, but i'm not mad because I got to meet so many great people and friends that made my dreams come true..
I will probably give a game a shot for 6 months minimum until I take 1 or 2 classes in college and will see where everything goes from there, but I will be sticking with a couple teammates whatever I do :).
