But for now at least, I'll commit to a 2 month break and see how life is without Smash and see how I feel after the break.

[NoTech Neek @NeekNotech]

I’m taking a break from Smash

After TGX, I'm going take a 2 month break from Smash

There are two main reasons for this: I'm not having fun playing the game anymore and I want to dedicate my time to other things...

[NoTech Neek @NeekNotech]

Starting with fun. I think playing Smash can be fun for 2 reasons: playing with friends and playing to compete. I started playing Smash at uni with 15 people gathered around a one couch setup almost every day, what would eventually become JML, and it was phenomenal vibes.

[NoTech Neek @NeekNotech]

But losing means that I'm not having fun, and if I'm not having fun, then I should stop no? I've gone through this cycle too many times, thought about quitting/ retiring and wondering if maybe thats the best choice for me in this stage of my life...

[NoTech Neek @NeekNotech]

So yeah, not practicing means I've stopped doing well competively at least to my standards; Which is fair, I was never a talented player, I only got better the more I played and as time passes, I expect those who dedicate themself to the game to outdo me...

[NoTech Neek @NeekNotech]

More than that, I feel a lack of drive. I don't play online due to bad net, I don't watch any Smash competive sets or work on my notes & gameplans as I used to. Even when I go to tourneys, I'd rather head home than wait 30 mins to try and grab friendlies...

[NoTech Neek @NeekNotech]

But with time spent doing night shifts, spending holidays with my wonderful partner, seeing my friends, spending time with family and pursing other hobbies like D&D and playing pokemon, I feel like I don't have the time to focus on improving my play.

[NoTech Neek @NeekNotech]

Despite my years competing, in all honesty, I like the people in the scene but I don't feel close enough to anyone to call them my friends. I know this is my own fault in my lack of effort to socialise, and I was okay with it, as long as I could have fun with the competive side.

[NoTech Neek @NeekNotech]

It was a fun distraction from my studies and other life events. I transitioned into competive and I liked seeing myself rise through the ranks, going from 0-2, to 2-2, HM's to top 40 and breaking even into top 20.
