Thoughts on Blizzcon and my Free Agency.

Before I say anything I want it to be clear that the memories I have made with my old teammates and friends on Denial will be cherished forever, and even though things didn’t work out between us I hope they go far.

Initially when the crescendo roster was formed, both the team as well as the community had set some really high expectations for us. Initially we had one goal, to qualify and represent our region well at Blizzcon. While I think having ambitious long term goals is something you need if you want to be competitive, I also think for a team to be successful you need to be able to work on synergy in the short term. I think this was one of our weaknesses as a team that ended up hurting us in the end.

It probably comes as a surprise to no one that we were disappointed with the result of Blizzcon, placing 7th/8th really hurt. However I have high hopes that moving forward all parties involved in this change will find a way to success!

I have had some time to reflect upon what I want to do in the future, and I can’t see myself not wanting to compete. Competition is so rewarding for me as a person, there’s nothing so incredibly satisfying as seeing a team you’re a part of improve. I want to continue experiencing these things. While failures suck, not many things I've experienced have given me such strong emotional responses. In it’s own way I’m glad I've been able to learn from my failures.

However, during this transition between teams, I am going to make an effort to stream more. I’ve always loved streaming, and to the fans who have watched me for YEARS now thank you so much for the constant support. I don’t think I currently am the best streamer, but if you do stop by and watch at some point please feel free to give me criticism!! Really anything you guys have to say would mean a lot! I want to know what you guys would like to see from me content wise. :D

That pretty much sums up all of my thoughts. I apologize for writing a novel, but if you did end up reading through this thanks a lot! Just being able to put my thoughts out there has been really nice.

TL;DR I think the transition from Denial will be a good thing for both parties. Until I find a new team I’m going to make more of an effort to create content!
