Back injury and stepping away from the scene


For many of you that don’t know I injured my back early last year and it caused me many problems in just ordinary day to day life coming into late last year I was advised to minimise my sitting and standing as much as possible with laying being my best option to recover. This obviously caused major problems with day to day life with work and took a major toll on my mental health, I decided in the time to distance my self from most people irl and on the game and focus on recovering.

Coming into late last year it had finally healed and I felt great back to full health and full strength training.

Unfortunately just under a month ago I have reinjured my back and am in the same situation I was, sitting is painful, standing is uncomfortable I’m unable to lift anything without massive pain and laying is my only time of relief because of this and having to work I’ve been put on painkillers and medication which has again caused my mental health to plummet, I can’t focus or concentrate on anything, I feel constantly numb and I am miserable because of all of it.

First regional comes by and I perform very poorly. Don’t worry guys you don’t have to tell me in ranked every time I see you. I know I played poorly, I was there. At this time I hadn’t told anyone that the injury was back because I wanted to prove so badly to everyone I wasn’t awful and I could compete, but with the pain medication I couldn’t concentrate I couldn’t focus or do anything and if I didn’t take it I’m in constant pain. It’s not an excuse I’m just telling you what happened. Apologies to both Pagsi and Finn for that day I was selfish in playing the first regional and I won’t be doing that again so the best to ever do it Tango will be playing tomorrow.

That being said if you’ve come this far, thanks for reading haha.

Ima take a break from RL and the scene for a bit, idk what will happen with the invitational if the boys make it but I need to fully focus on myself and recovering from this injury to better my mental and physical health because I’m at my happiest when I can do day to day tasks and strength training at the gym like I have been.

Thankyou to Finn and Pagsi for the opportunity and I hope you smash it tomorrow.

It’s important that everyone knows that, just allow it with people sometimes man, you have no idea what they’re going through and what they’re fighting.

Good luck to everyone and let’s hope I’m back by next split or next season time shall tell ❤️

Great way to spend my birthday haha woo 🎉

Also Baz is going to be a freak

TL:DR Bad back injury causing me problems irl and in game taking a step away from the scene to recover as quick as possible.
