I am officially retiring from Pro OW and here is why...
As many of you might know I have officially retired from playing OW competitively.
The decision was really tough and honestly made me shed a lot of tears seeing as I have dedicated 2 years of my life for this.
That being said I did not pull the plug because of Revival.
Revival as a team has been my home for almost 6 months and kinda made me into the MT, Leader and Shot Caller I am today. Even when for the majority of the last season I had very poor results, the old roster and staff still stuck with me encouraging me to keep moving forward and grind.
I don't know why but they believed and that was all I needed.
Thank you Tviq, Paintbrush, Apply, Manneten, Epzz, Lyar, Cynic, Izak, Curryshot and Reprize
you single-handedly made me into the player I am today.
I have a great amount of respect and loyalty for Revival and when we had to remake the roster, knowing full well that we will pick up very inexperienced players, I decided to give it my all to be a person who they can look up to and learn from.
Thank you Aspen, Aspire, Reyzr, Doggo, Cowman, Jsr, Destroyer, Ryuu and Luna for helping me to learn what it takes to be a true Leader and MT.
Now that all of this is out of the way I will get straight to the point on why I quit.
The game is boring, the sleeping schedule was killing me, I am a UNI student ( cyber security), I want to grow my stream and most importantly take care of my IRL relationships . All of this + my mental health suffered from the stress and lack of sleep involved with being in T2. Majority of my year I spent going to bed at 6 am and waking up at 7:30 to go to uni and then stream after that.
Shit was tough and very tiring.I was too exhausted and honestly mostly disinterested in scrims and in OW to actually perform and shotcall in scrims which was not healthy for the team. Me performing only when necessary has led and will lead to slow and tedious improvement of the players and team. Even so I decided to stay and give them all of my knowledge and experience. Teach them what I know and give them a solid base by helping them get to Trials. After trials I decided to step down and let them find a more deserving, diligent and passionate MT who can achieve something with the proper coaching, staff and environment. Someone who can surpass me and become the next Stallion.
I love Revival and I am sure the feelings are mutual. With the new roster we have already proven our worth and that every single player there is extremely talented even though new to the scene. This roster and team has given me my best achievements, moments and recognition. Thank you for letting me end my career on a good note . Now it's your turn to go down this rocky road called "Path to Pro" and achieve things that I have not even dreamed of. I will be watching and cheering you on.
Now for what I am gonna do next, well that's pretty simple. Stream, meme and most importantly have fun. I have sacrificed everything for this and I want to take it back. I will go to the gym, meet new people, focus on studies and most importantly CONQUER TWITCH. I am still a grinder by heart and will keep on pushing and improving myself in different ways. I will never give up. My goal is to make people laugh and inspire them I still love competing so I will probably be back at some point but most likely not in OW, who knows maybe if I grow my stream enough I will get picked up by OWL.
Huge shoutout to Promise who pulled me out of a ditch and believed in me when I was nobody.
Even though he is retired now he was impressed by me and watched me closely while he was in OWL helping me out whenever he could without asking anything in return. I would not be where I am without him. Thanks a lot.
Thank you all for the support, I would not be able to do this without you.
I will probably write another TwitLonger about my Path to Pro journey.
I really hope that I managed to help some of the people in T2 and T3 to chase and achieve their dreams.
I made a lot of friends and family in the scene which i love and respect dearly and I hope they remember me as that one Bulgarian Warlord.
I tried my best but it was not enough, I am sorry. but its time to throw in the towel.
TL;DR Game is mind-numbingly dull and overall very unrewarding. Life is too short to waste it so I decided to take a step back and reevaluate everything. I will be streaming a lot more frequently.
