@GerryCasts shoutout to envy, ntmr, 5f, pulsar, luminon (there’s prolly more) for actually fielding a team year round and not just waiting for closed quals to be over to sign a team for 2 months to make a quick buck off a bundle than instantly drop their team 🫡
24 today. Almost full unc.
I’ve been thinking a lot about where I am in life, and I can genuinely say I’m happy with the direction I’m moving in.
I’m not where I want to be yet. Not even close.
But every day I’m trying to squeeze out that extra 1% as a player, teammate, coach, creator, and just as a person.
Balancing everything can be hard. Competition, streaming, the Academy, real life, relationships, trying to improve without losing yourself in the process. But whenever I see other people achieving incredible things, I remind myself that if they can find a way, then so can I.
And just for today, I’ve had this really simple realization:
Life feels perfect.
Not because everything is finished. Not because I’ve reached every goal. Not because there’s nothing left to improve.
But because when I look around, I feel grateful for the people, the opportunities, the memories, and the path I’m on. For once, I don’t feel like I need to rush past the moment. I can just appreciate it.
I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who continues to support my streams, my content, my brand, and everything I’m trying to build.
I know I don’t stream as often as I want to yet, but knowing that when I do go live I can make someone laugh, motivate someone, teach someone something, or simply make their day a little better means more to me than I probably say enough.
You guys give me a lot, and I want to keep finding ways to give more back.
The same goes for everyone supporting TrqstMe Academy.
I want the Academy to become more than just a place with guides. I want it to be somewhere for people who genuinely love the competitive side of life, people who want to wake up and become a little better than they were yesterday.
At the same time, I want to learn one of the most important skills possible to me: how to bring the maximum potential out of the people around me.
I want to become someone who can change his surroundings for the better. Someone whose presence makes other people stronger.
A huge part of who I am today comes from my teammates and the people I’ve met through competition.
@Raajaro and @fateMR_, we’ve been walking this road together for around two years now.
When you compete together and genuinely care about improving, you’re not always going to agree. You get frustrated, you argue, you expect more from each other because you know what everyone is capable of.
But through all of that, thank you for walking this road with me. You helped shape the player and person I am today, and I’m grateful for every part of that journey.
@Jur3kyarc, you’ve been my teammate for around a year now and you’ve brought so much to this team. Your creativity and the ideas you bring constantly give us new ways to look at the game, approach situations, and improve. Thank you for everything you contribute and for continuing to push the team forward with us.
@TerraMR_ and @Jur3kyarc, without you being part of that journey, we would never have won our second championship medal at Midseason Finals. Thank you for helping us create something I will remember for the rest of my life.
@NagaEz, I don’t think I’ve ever properly expressed how much you helped shape me.
Playing with you helped me build my character, my mental, and the way I communicate with people. In the same way Melio once told me that parts of the person he became came from watching me, I genuinely feel like parts of the person I became came from watching you.\
Especially now that I’m trying harder to raise team spirit, communicate better, and bring more out of the people around me, I appreciate even more what an asset you were to our roster and how much experience you passed on to me.
That means a lot to me.
Thank you for helping me grow alongside you and for showing me how much being invested in the people around you can matter.
@Melio_ow, I also want to thank you for everything you gave us last year.
The amount of work you put in was insane. In China we were able to practice at a level I had never experienced before — four blocks a day, VOD reviews, constantly working and constantly trying to find another way for us to improve.
A lot of people never really saw how much dedication was happening behind the scenes, and I honestly think that’s unfair to you.
You’re an incredible player, but beyond that, your pure dedication and willingness to work were a huge part of what allowed us to succeed.
You were a big part of my own success and growth to this point, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
Thank you, @Melio_ow.
@Lv1Crook_,
We played our first tournament together 5.5 years ago, and we’ve been friends and duo players for around six years now. That is such a huge part of my journey that it’s honestly hard to put into words.
Recently we haven’t been as connected as we were in the past, but I think a lot of that simply comes from how exhausting competition and work can become when you’re constantly trying to perform, improve, and handle everything around it.
Regardless of how often we talk or where life takes us, my heart is always open to you.
I genuinely believe that without you, I would not be where I am today.
To me, you are the backbone of the team.
Playing with you gives me the confidence to give 100%, even on the days where I personally don’t feel at 100%. There is a level of trust built over all these years that is incredibly hard to replace.
That is also a big reason why, if you ever require my strength beside you, I will be there.
Thank you for being there for me as a teammate and as a friend, especially during some of the hardest moments of my life. We’ve shared so much of this journey together, and no matter how things change over time, I will always be grateful for everything we went through and everything you did for me.
@m0xyMR and @kragie, I especially want to thank you for believing in me and giving me opportunities when I was at one of the lowest points of my life.
There are moments where someone believing in you can completely change the direction your life takes. For me, you were part of that.
My life genuinely changed for the better, and I don’t think you can fully understand how grateful I am for the trust you put in me.
And then there are so many people I could never fit into one post.
The people who always had an open ear for me. The friends I can talk to about anything. The people who check in, listen, joke around with me, support me when things are going well and stay around when they aren’t.
I can’t name all of you, but thank you from my heart.
You make my life better every day.
And the same goes the other way. If you ever need someone to talk to, need help with something, or simply need someone who will listen, you can always approach me. If there is a way I can help, I’m happy to try.
Sometimes our community can feel extremely divided. Different opinions, different teams, different friend groups, arguments about the game, competition, everything.
But maybe just for today we can remember that things can always be better and different.
We can understand each other more. We can disagree without hating each other. We can compete as hard as possible and still want the people around us to succeed.
My friends.
My teammates.
My community.
The people supporting the Academy.
Everyone who watches.
Everyone who messages me.
Everyone who believes in what I’m building.
I’ve been blessed with a lot, and I never want to start treating any of it like it’s normal or guaranteed.
I just hope I can keep doing this for a very long time.
Keep competing.
Keep learning.
Keep helping people.
Keep building something meaningful.
Keep becoming someone the people around me can rely on.
24 years old.
Still hungry.
Still nowhere near finished.
Still trying to become 1% better every single day.
But just for today, I can look at my life and genuinely say:
Life feels perfect.
Now let’s win Grand Finals, keep helping make Marvel Rivals the best game it can be, and make this next year something special.
Thank you for everything. ❤️

I finished Goodbye, Lara. I honestly don't know how I feel about it. This isn't another Zenshuu case where an abysmal ending ruins what is a great original, but I feel very weird about the direction it went. I'll give it the same rating though (8/10) but I really just feel weird.

I MADE IT TO AMERICAN SOIL AND THE FIRST THING I DID WAS BUY AN EXTRA LARGE SPRITE FROM CHIC FIL A AND DRANK THE WHOLE BITCH.
EU “SODA” IS AN AFFRONT TO GOD
@ArdyIRL even if I don't play the game anymore, I wish always give my luck over to it since it has the best community around a comp scene I've ever interacted with.
