Where do I start. Anyone who truly knows who I am understands the type of mentality I have. I have been on every part of the scale when it’s coming to winning, the bad and the good. I’m the hardest person on myself when we lose or even when we win in ways I don’t like to win. Myself and the team have a standard we hold ourselves too which we did for most of the year and we were very confident coming into champs. I’m not gonna sit here and say we played to our standard because we clearly did not.
Since we have moved to PC, the consistency on the computers we play on in a PROFESSIONAL league (to put it lightly) has been abysmal. We scrim and play our league matches online on different PCs then when we come to LAN and it can feel different tournament to tournament and even day to day. I know when I say this next part it won’t make sense to most of you but yesterday I could feel from the start that the G2 series was gonna be a long series for me right after map 1. Struggling to just a simple kills or simple trades which puts our team is way better positions making the game more simple. And when you don’t get those simple free kills, the game is just gonna feel harder in general.
After map 4 of the match, I asked for a pc change because I could tell something is off. The ref nodded his head and I proceeded to walk off stage. I was asked by the head PRC what was wrong with it and I explained to then getting an answer “okay thank you for letting me know”. I walk back on stage for map 5 expecting a new PC and to sit down and play to when they told me “yea we didn’t switch it, we did a scan it looks good.” At this point, it was clear they never were gonna switch the pc and I proceeded to play map 5.
I am saying this NOT as the sole reason why we loss but to be in a professional gaming league that 1000% has back up computers I think it’s crazy that we can’t get a simple switch unless the computer physically tells the admins there’s something wrong. Any pro player will tell you these PCs are day to day and I don’t know how to say this without sounding insanely egotistical but I’m not going -37 with a regular working PC. I’m just frustrated that this happens at the most important tournament of the year and this is how it ends. EWC is around the corner so I’ll see yall there. ✌️
🚨🏴 Wayne Rooney on Portugal's performance vs DR Congo:
“Neither Bruno nor Bernardo created a single clear chance for Cristiano throughout the entire game. Forget creating chances, they didn't even score themselves.
It doesn't make sense to me that people are calling for Ronaldo to be benched when he isn't getting any service in the first place.
Bruno was supposed to be Portugal's best player at this World Cup, even a potential Golden Ball contender. What exactly did he do in this match, and why isn't the media holding him to the same standard?” 🇵🇹🤔
Me cuesta mucho encontrar las palabras.
Han sido días muy difíciles y no hay un solo momento en que no piense en ese penal.
Me duele muchísimo. Me duele por mis compañeros, por el enorme esfuerzo que hizo este equipo, pero sobre todo por ustedes, que nunca dejaron de creer.
Sé lo que representa este club. Sé lo que significa ponerse esta camiseta y defender estos colores. Por eso sé que les fallé. No hay excusas, no hay palabras que cambien lo que pasó. Hay jugadas que se quedan para siempre en la cabeza… y ésta es una de ellas.
No me voy a esconder. Me toca aceptar la responsabilidad, como capitán, como americanista y como alguien que ama profundamente este club.
Entiendo su enojo, su tristeza y su decepción, porque yo también la siento. Me duele fallarle a una afición que merece siempre celebrar campeonatos.
Quiero pedirles perdón de corazón.
Perdón por no haber podido darles esa alegría que merecían. Perdón porque sé cuánto soñábamos con otra noche histórica y estuvimos a nada de lograrlo.
Y quiero darles las gracias. Gracias por jamás abandonarnos. Gracias por alentarnos cuando todo parecía perdido. Gracias por demostrar otra vez por qué la afición del América es la más grande. Ver cómo el estadio seguía creyendo después de un 3-0 en contra, es algo que jamás voy a olvidar.
Este equipo sacó orgullo, carácter y corazón para levantarse cuando muchos ya nos daban por muertos.
Por eso sé que volveremos más fuertes, volveremos a ganar los títulos que se merece ésta institución.
Porque si algo tiene el América es que nunca, nunca se da por vencido.
Gracias americanistas.
Volveremos a volar. 💛🦅

Before I go to bed remember if you go 25-25 in a 250-240 HP game while your teammates have 70+ engagements unless you got 200 seconds in hill. You were most likely the problem. Left stick is your friend. Valuable lesson here boys and girls. Goodnight.
