What a sad tweet to see on my timeline ☹️

It genuinely makes me sad that there are people who believe you become worse or "washed" after reaching a certain age.

I've dreamed of playing in the LEC and competing on the international stage since I was a kid. I've worked incredibly hard to make that dream a reality.

When I was 18, I moved to Germany and lived with a really great friend of mine. I worked 40-hour weeks as a delivery driver to afford a PC while streaming and grinding the ladder as much as I could. I'd take 90-minute naps every day as soon as I got home from work, and sometimes I'd even fall asleep on the job because of how exhausted I was.

Then moved to France, where I lived alone in what was essentially a tiny cave of an apartment, just one room of around 15m², while continuing to grind the game.

I've faced so many struggles along the way, financially, physically, mentally, and in terms of time and work.

At one point, I even became homeless, moving from one friend's place to another while struggling to find a stable place to live for a long time.

I was only able to start playing professionally at 22.

And even now, I still dream of becoming the best. I genuinely believe I have the potential to do it. League is still a relatively young esport, and there's so much room for improvement, especially when it comes to the mentality and approach of many professional players.

But what hurts is having to accept that, because of mindsets like this, I might not even get the opportunities I need to prove myself and achieve that dream.

We really need to stop pushing the idea that age is what determines whether someone can succeed professionally in League of Legends.

Give people the opportunity to prove themselves. Judge them by their performance, their work ethic, and their mentality, not by the number of years they've been alive

@Strompest What are your thoughts on pivoting to dbow start + adaptive shard instead of atk speed?

[Strax @papigares]

@Next_L_Esports Just look at the comments, noone is commenting anything relevant to the post. They are all just mentioning Melhzet and writing npc takes like "he is a good coach, don't flame" like there is any mention in the post about him being a bad coach. Nothingburger statements all around.

Take note, coaches.

This is a perfect example of how not to communicate with your players in high-stakes moments.

When things go wrong, your job isn't to make sure players know they played badly.

They already know.

Instead, give them something actionable to move toward.

“What do we do next?”

“What is the adjustment?”

“What do you need from each other?”

That kind of language gives the brain a direction, and helps with performance, instead of dwelling on mistakes.

Telling players what they're doing wrong, piling on emotion, or amplifying the pressure can easily create more of the thing you're trying to prevent.

And this is where I think esports still has a lot of room to professionalize.

In traditional sports, emotional coaching and high-energy confrontation can sometimes have a different function. Athletes can physically expend that energy through movement. (running faster, more agressive/power etc.)

In esports, the performance itself is largely cognitive.

Your players still need to make decisions.

Process information.

Communicate.

Stay adaptable.

So if your communication increases emotional load at the exact moment you need clarity, you have to ask whether you're actually helping performance.

And more importantly:

What's underneath the mistake?

Pressure?

Uncertainty?

A communication problem?

A lack of clarity?

A strategic issue?

Confidence?

If you only react to the visible symptom, you never get to the actual problem.

This doesn't mean coaches should be emotionless.

Passion matters.

Standards matter.

Accountability matters.

But there is a difference between bringing intensity and transferring your emotions onto your players.

Connection before correction.

Players are humans first — not machines that exist purely to execute our expectations.

Connection before correction

And I think that's an important part of professionalizing esports:

We ask players to be accountable, professional, disciplined and constantly improving.

We should expect the same from the people coaching them.

Coaches: don't just ask yourself whether your communication is passionate.

Ask:

“Is what I'm saying actually helping my players perform better right now?”

@ADCJopa brings so much entertainment as well, Croatian adc goat 🐐

[Freeze @FreezeLoL]

We need more players like @Nuclear_int in the @LEC 10x more enjoyable to watch these games when he expresses emotions and even infects other players to do the same in enemy team
