I was recently removed from 9INE AC, with the explanation that my energy wasn't what the team was looking for.
I have never claimed to be the perfect IGL. When I joined, I had only been leading for a few months, and I knew I still had a lot to learn. But I worked hard to improve: joined before/stayed after praccs to learn, brought new ideas to the team, suggested demo reviews and always tried to take feedback on board and adapt.
I genuinely tried to bring positive energy to the team, whether it was celebrating a good round, encouraging the boys after a bad one or simply trying to keep everyone motivated.
Of course, I made mistakes along the way, and there are things I could have handled better. But I also believe that growth takes time, especially when you've only had 3 weeks to prove yourself in a role you're still relatively new to.
What hurts the most isn't being removed from the team. It's feeling like the effort I put into improving and becoming a better IGL, by working on the things I was told needed improvement, wasn't given enough time to show its results.
I have no hard feelings towards my former teammates or the staff. I appreciate the opportunity and the people I got to work with, and I genuinely wish them the best.
This experience won't change my ambitions. I'll take everything I've learned from it, keep working on myself and come back stronger.
The grind doesn't stop. I still believe I'll get the opportunity to prove what I'm capable of.
As we say in Portugal, when 1 door closes, 2 windows open.
If anyone wants to know more about my experience or discuss potential opportunities, feel free to reach out.

Really great guy with a lot of potential.
Unfortunately, sometimes things don’t work out despite everyone’s efforts. Wishing him nothing but the best for what’s next, both in and outside the game.
Super nice guy and a dedicated IGL with a lot of potential. Had the pleasure of working with him, and I genuinely believe he has a lot to offer to the right team.
Wishing a nice team will pick this guy up, and wish him all the best♥️

3rd win in ESEA Main! 🔥
Great bounce back after a loss earlier this morning!
Still plenty to improve, but happy with how we responded and got back to winning ways. 💪
Proud to represent @OurSanctum ❤️

Not the debut we were hoping for under @OurSanctum.
We fall 0-2 today, far from showing our best CS.
A lot to learn from this one, but we'll keep working hard to improve and come back stronger.
Thank you for the support! 💚
