- It’s very easy in today’s scene to forget why we play Counter-Strike. It’s not for the money or the fame. It’s because we’re artists and CS:GO is our canvas. I say this to anyone aspiring to be a pro: Play because you love the game. The rest will follow.
- Too many players think "they've made it" after getting a contract. For a champion - this is when their journey begins. Being paid to play video games professionally is a privilege not an accomplishment. Thoughts of an old timer.
- Too many people in modern cs want to be the star. A team needs players willing to die for the team, willing to take space at the correct time and play selfless. I would love to see more players who strive to be this kind of player. Invaluable and the unsung heroes. @Complexity
- Check your ego at the door when it comes to practicing with your team. Egos drive us and are an important tool to competitors but they can also blind us. Listen to your team mates and put your ego aside. Old man wisdom if you are willing to take it.
- I am still available for coaching, management and team operations roles. I miss working with teams/players and would love to bring my skillset to your organization. Please DM/email me if you are interested in working together. I am open to all opportunities. Thank you.
- Replying to @kryztal___This is what happens when real world losers pose as journalists. Sad part is so many players befriend and believe this clown. Sorry this happened to you.
- Not closing sucks but there isn’t a single bone in my body that isn’t completely proud. My boys left it all on the server and we will be back even stronger. Thanks to everyone that believes in @compLexity Counter-Strike. It’s my pleasure to continue working hard for our fans.
- Talking counter-strike lately with @n0thing again and I feel like I’m 22 in my prime. I love how counter-strike has gotten a facelift over the years graphics wise but the same concepts that won me tournaments in 2005 still apply. Really is a timeless game.
- 36 today. Blessed to of spent over half my life in esports. Looking forward to plenty more.
- Thinking about starting a twitch stream show for coaches and other support staff for counter-strike teams. I think I have a lot to offer in this area and also lots to learn from others. Would love to engage with chat on random topics pertaining to coaching.
- 1/2 Unfortunately, @NYXL has decided not to renew my contract. I want to thank the org for putting faith in me to help build out their Valorant team over the last two years. The staff and management have been incredible to work alongside.
- Was a pleasure Jaccob. Wish you nothing but success in your new team!
- Good games today. Proud of the boys for how we played. 1-0 @Partynauts_GG 1-0 @bnb_pt2 and 2-1 @EvilGeniuses to win a spot in the Sydney closed qualifier. Let’s go!!!
