I’ve spent over a decade hanging around stages, bootcamps, scrims, and those charming 2 a.m. ranked lobbies that smell like energy drinks and regret. So here’s me, finally putting down the lessons learned from top esports players. The real stuff. Not the “believe in yourself” fluff. I’m talking esports mindset, tournament prep, VOD review habits,…
Let’s talk about pro player gaming gear and settings. Yes. The stuff people DM me about at 2 a.m. because their mouse feels “off” and they swear their FPS dropped after a Windows update. I’ve been in this mess for over a decade—tournaments, scrims, late-night ranked queues, the whole loop—and in my experience, the most…
I’ve been around this scene long enough to get yelled at in three languages during scrims and still order the right takeout. People ask me how esports pros prep and then look shocked when I say it’s mostly boring repetition with bursts of panic. Yes, it’s a lot. In my experience, the bones of it…
In my experience, the only thing more chaotic than tournament day is trying to set up exclusive interviews with pro gamers while their scrim runs long, their coach pings them on Discord, and a patch drops mid-sentence. I’ve done this dance for over a decade. Esports, pro gamer Q&A, behind-the-scenes notes, streaming setup details, mental…
People ask me all the time what the “streaming setup used by pro players” looks like. And I get it. You see a crisp face cam, buttery 240 fps aim, clean audio with zero hiss, and you think, alright, what dark magic is this. In my experience, it’s not magic. It’s a pile of small,…
I’ve spent a silly amount of time yelling at my screen because someone did something ridiculous on stage. That’s my happy place. I’m talking about top plays from gaming tournaments, the crazy esports highlights, clutch moments, insane outplays, baron steals, ninja defuses, 1v5 aces—the whole buffet. In my experience, the best plays hit you before…
So. This Week Was Loud, Fast, and a Little Dumb (That’s Why I Loved It) I spent way too many hours replaying viral esports highlights this week, and yes, I regret nothing. In my experience, the clips that blow up are never just “good plays.” They’re chaos with timing. A clutch with a plot twist….
I’ve spent way too many nights watching the funniest clips from pro gamers. Yes, that exact phrase. I live for the split-second chaos: pro player fails, “hilarious moments,” rage quit energy, team comms going off the rails, and those whiffs that make chat spam LUL like it’s 2015 again. In my experience, nothing beats a…
I’ve spent more than ten years watching, clipping, and yelling at my screen during the best moments from twitch esports streams. Yeah, I’ve seen it all: clutch plays, stream highlights, epic fails, PogChamp spam that could blind a small village. In my experience, great Twitch clips feel like lightning in a bottle. They hit fast….
I’ve been grinding ranked ladders since dial-up was a thing and headsets squealed like gremlins. When people ask me for strategies to win more ranked games, I don’t hand them a magic spell. I hand them a broom. Because this is janitor work. Cleaning your basics. Fixing bad habits. Respecting the meta. Watching your MMR,…
