when i was in 8th grade i hit master and decided i was gonna be a league pro so i threw away all my studies and just grinded for like 5 months i used to watch pro VODs back then and their decision making was actually insane like stuff that would take me 2-3 seconds to process they were doing in 0.something seconds it was mind blowing i kept climbing through master and right before hitting grandmaster i started matching against famous one-tricks and actual pros and even if i looked up how to counter the one-tricks on youtube playing against actual pros felt like i couldn't even breathe it was so suffocating if i lost focus for even a second to take a sip of water they'd instantly find a kill angle and i'd be dead i realized i just wasn't on their level and if solo queue was this bad i'd probably get absolutely shit on in pro scrims so i gave up on going pro and went back to studying

    Hitting Master in 8th grade is actually pretty cracked. But then you have Faker saying you gotta hit Challenger in middle school... T.T

    You were definitely cracked for a regular player. I think it's a good thing to actually go for it and experience failure.

    unless you're a natural born genius, it's tough to make it as a pro gamer and as you get older, your brain knows what to do but your body just can't keep up lol...

    They say you have to hit Challenger in middle school to even have a shot... but hey, you gave it your all, so it wasn't a waste of time.
