Why I'm not trialing for Australia's world cup team as a player

Hi, over the past few weeks ever since world cup got announced a lot of people have been asking me why I haven't decided to go on as a player and I've explained short reasoning on stream a good amount but I think making a tweet about it is probably the best way to explain it since its more in-depth on why I've chosen not to



To basically summarize things, I haven't gotten into playing on a competitive level for about 8 or so months now and haven't bothered trialing for teams and haven't subbed for many either. Ever since I started taking up streaming my schedule obviously clashes with those times with me to sub. So in other words when it comes to the contender's scene I would be very very VERY rusty when trying to play again and with world cup just around the corner, I don't think I'd have the time to be able to compete with the top main support players in the scene.



The second thing is obviously my schedule is incredibly loaded and I always find myself super busy. Balancing an IRL job along with streaming. If I added scrimming and playing on a team I'd find myself putting too much on my hands and wouldn't be able to give my 100% for streaming or playing on a team and I believe I would let down my stream or my team, I don't want to have put some big weights on myself either as I have found streaming is a lot more fun and has made me a lot happier compared to playing pro where I used to find myself getting burned out very easily.



And finally the third thing is that I do believe there is some really good talent in the Australian scene that NEEDS to be showcased for this years world cup, being a big viewer on Australian contenders and keeping my eye on a lot of the main support players I could see this year's trials being very tight and I don't believe I can compete with several of those.



I have found that working on social media has been so much more fun for me and getting the opportunity to do something world cup related has been a dream since 2016. I do hope you all vote for me to be the community lead this year and I will happily make this region proud with my memes and bants!
