Hey o/



Thought id briefly (hopefully) write down some thoughts about current & future situation for me;



Heading into week 4 of lcs (week 3 was the abysmal week where we played fnatic & cw and i choked heavily as bard vs fnc and we as a team just got obliterated and basically lost game after 10 min vs CW) we sat down with our manager jacob & the coaching staff and agreed that the results we were getting did not match the expectations and goals we had set up and that possible tryouts/subs could be used in all roles in scrims moving forward unless we stepped up our game. Me and jacob spoke privately where i expressed my thoughts regarding the teams problem (shotcalling, communication i.e) and that i suggested the only short-term solution for the team would be to either replace me or X other member (irrelevent who) in the team for potentially immediate results. It was either this or keep grinding scrims and hoping the problem would get solved automatically at its own pace, pretty much.

Id say we made improvements during scrims before week 4 games (no subs were used or tried out during this week).



We played ROC & OG week 4 and went 1-1 and i was satisfied with both of my games (although this http://i.imgur.com/7LqZXKT.jpg black shield probably 0.01 second too late still bothers me cuz it wouldve turned shit 'round, yo). Come saturday (day after OG game), coaching staff informs me that we were gonna tryout different supports the upcoming days but they were uncertain who'd be used for week 5 of lcs. Eventually they chose Nyph (we were 3 for the curious one) simply due to his communication being really good.



And here we are, week 6 of EU LCS has been wrapped up and im just about to hit the sack and leave the city in the morning for this time. I've decided to leave the apartment, Berlin and the team (technically im still a sub incase im needed but im still a free agent, if it makes any sense) and will take a 2 week vacation to enjoy the summer with friends & family back home (oh how ive missed you all).



Im still gonna continue playing and strive for another chance in the LCS, im confident that i can compete with the top supports in the west but quite sadden that i couldn't play to my full potential on stage for the most part (insert joke about alistar OTP/pro-miss-q here); but i hope that my good showings can overshadow my bad showings.



It has been a great experience with alot of ups and downs but it's something id be thrilled to do again, next time packed with a ton more experience. Im thoroughly thankful to Elements for giving me the chance to represent them and experience all of this, its definitely a once in a lifetime experience which not many get and i hope i can get another glance at it in the close future.





Till next time,

promisQ
