My future in Siege.

I think this post is long overdue.



After a lot of thought and consideration, I have decided to step back as a player. Unless an irresistible opportunity presents itself, I do not PLAN to continue as a player. This is for a few reasons.



1. My enjoyment for the game is gone. The only way I can enjoy playing the game anymore is in a competitive setting, and even then, I do not have the same drive that I used to say a year ago. I can't consciously play a game I am miserable playing.



2. College. I started last year while I was competing with (at the time) Sinister in the Fall, Least Wanted in the Winter, and Honor Among Thieves in the Spring and the game took up so much of my time that I had next to no social life because of classes and practice. Since not being on a team for a while now, I have been able to enjoy so much more within college and have been a lot happier because of it.



3. Looking to the future. This is mixing the first two points in that because of trying to balance a social life and school, the addition of Siege is not something I can personally do. I just don't have the drive or time to put in as much work as some of these upcoming players can. It's also something I can not see as stable career path and I need to look to my future and focus on school. Yes, I could consider content creation to help stabilize my future within Siege, but considering I don't enjoy playing the game like I used to, I just can't do it.



While I have not completed my personal goals as a player (like to play on stage), with all these reasons, I just can't sanely continue on as a player.



Now, where does that leave me?



I am looking into being a coach or analyst for a (preferably CL/PL) team. I have played this game since launch in pretty much always a competitive setting and I don't want my knowledge of the game to be for nothing. I am also considering trying to work on the analyst desk or even become a color caster. Not exactly sure how I plan to approach pursuing this but I will only do so if I know I can balance it with my schooling and social life.

Please DM if you are interested and I will consider it.



Hopefully this is not a goodbye, and just a new step, because Siege has made a huge impact on my life with all the wonderful people I have met, memories created, and possible life long friends I have made. This game has done a lot for me so I hope I can try to give back to some extent



Through all the highs and all the lows, thank you all for everything.
