League, Life, and Streaming

So to start out I couldn’t sleep after my stream and it's 7AM here so excuse my grammatical errors (I was always bad in english class anyway). As most of you guys probably know I have been all inning on streaming this off season and in the past month and a half I have reached goals that I never thought I could possibly obtain. To act like I did this alone would be a complete joke so I want to thank all of those who have helped me- Christian Rivera, thank you so much for basically being my sugar-daddy for a few days I think a lot of my growth is owed to you. Eugene park, William Li (sorry if I made you guys uncomfortable asking for a host) Destiny (this host came out of nowhere ty so much your fans are awesome) Matt Higginbotham and Benjamin DeMunck for being great friends and for driving me to be better as we are all on in very similar life situations and on that stream grind, and finally Martin Disalvo (Coscuu) who has been endorsing and supporting me so much and I could write a whole paper on just the help you have/are giving me but here is not the place for such a long message, muchas gracias amigo<3. I have countless more people I could give thanks to but this list will have to do for now.



To be honest I never have felt much love from the LOL community and nothing even comparable to what the Coscuu and his fans have been showing me recently. It always felt like the whole league subreddit community has wanted to see me fail since the beginning ever since I replaced everyone’s favorite player Scarra. It felt like anything positive about me was removed by the mods on a hidden agenda to shit on my career for some bullshit reason (I know this isn’t true just what it felt like) and anything negative or me losing/getting outplayed went straight to the frontpage. I was and still am pretty good at ignoring the dumb shit people say on reddit and to be honest I kinda like this chip on my shoulder mentality that I have now because it only pushes me to be better but I must say it is so amazing and refreshing to be just be loved by a community like Coscuu’s instead of constantly getting shit on by it. I have felt love from my few die-hard fans before but never on a scale that Coscuu and the Latin American community has brought to me (This is why most of my twitch chat has been in Spanish as of recently)



I am so happy to have/start having an audience that actually listens to me and it makes me think of all the awesome things I can do now that I have an audience that will listen. I feel like a kid the day before christmas right now just thinking about it.



Another important thank you to Weldon Green for having lunch with me and my mother about two months ago giving me life advice after a crushing defeat where I was contemplating quitting League and esports all together but you convinced me that I should get into streaming and content. My days as a pro gamer are long from over but now at least during the off season I can experience all this awesomeness. I really appreciate and admire you a lot and being able to watch/help you coach TSM for that one day before I left for home was a great experience.



And finally the most important thank you, my family. My family especially my amazing mother and have supported me the whole way and I think I actually might have some of the most supportive parents in all of esports (Definitely the mother at least). As much as I like to think I did a lot of the work myself I would be literally nothing without y'all. I am nowhere near the goal I ultimately want to be at but I am starting to see more and more of the pathway there. Thank you everyone <3
