@Doki_R6 And what I mean by this is that there are so many pros leaving money on the table because they don’t realise that being a pro is only one component of earning because of esports. It’s similar to us in talent work too

@Doki_R6 An observation I’ve seen (maybe more at EU than intl players) is that players have a reluctance to let their personalities show. Idk if the feel they’ll get hate or be more likely to be kicked or smth

I’m going to comment a little on this with my experience through the years. Now firstly I understand I’m in a very privileged and unique position, G2 is a top esports org and treat/accommodate their players very well, and I’m aware this isn’t the case for the majority of siege players/orgs. I think if you hope to just do bare minimum work and live of your siege salary, you’re not going to make it anywhere worth while. When you say “my org isn’t paying me enough only 2.5k a month” it’s a bit selfish imo. If you are a middle of the pack siege team that 2.5k a month can double to 5k a month with yearly prizes from tournaments combined - this is for a middle of the pack team. Siege prize pools are very very good, compared to a lot of other esports. But you see more of these players cry about bad conditions instead of putting in extra effort. When I started my career first year or so I wasn’t making much from salary, but with proven effort and results that grew as the org grew trust in you - this will be the case for more teams and people will refuse to believe it. Other sources of income should also be a factor for players in this position. Streaming, content creation, outsourced work. They all add income, even if it’s small - or builds up and grows. Again, I know I’m in a different position, one I’m very grateful for. Aware not every siege player can just start a stream and start earning money. Attitude is the main factor tho, situations may be bad, but they’re a start. Why should an org pick someone up and pay them let’s say $5000 a month, when they have shit results, no brand, no real WORTH. Think about it.

Heathrow Airport is a joke. Have been stood at baggage claim for over 1 hour with still no sign of my suitcase 🙃🙃🙃

@tomjsherlock @KingGeorge I feel for @MacieJay

My team for @KingGeorge 10k tournie tomorrow We stand a chance right guys

@absoMUTEly @meouws_ To be fair if you asked for a Dr Pepper in a pub in the UK it would be lager, Coke and Amaretto so not entirely wrong

"isn't Dr. Pepper just beer with cokey cola in it?" - @meouws_

@bye_berg @MonsterEnergy That’s a crazy effort 🫡

Dear @MonsterEnergy, It is time I shoot my shot. I drink between 1-4 monsters a day, specifically the zero ultra. I’ve been doing this for about 4 years now and haven’t stopped. Now I post a selfie with a white monster (almost) every single day. My 21st birthday was a few days ago and due to being unable to drink alcohol, my one wish was for some white monster. I would do anything to get a case of monster, maybe some merch, shit i’ll take a comment under this post. Just know i’ve been a fan a little too long, drink a little too much, and refuse to stop anytime soon. I sent an email with no luck so here I am to publicly beg you. (please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please)

@ahadabdul620 Agreed and that will be Secret (and G2's) biggest challenge, however the fact they've done a like-for-like and not changed too much in terms of their structure means they should just focus on that chemistry in an already successful formula

@FreshOnDesk Its never about individual mechanical skills. Its about the chemistry, jume and adrian were not counted proven top players just a year ago. Everything is about chemistry of a team.

I think Secret have got this transfer window absolutely spot on - they lost 2 pretty major components of their team but have replaced the players like for like in roles with proven experience at the highest level so that it doesn't materially affect the trajectory of the team.

@domnomnoml That’s what running is mate 😂 looks like a good day for it

Nice day to run 10k, hate the whole thing and feel good about yourself after ☺️

@Jay_R6s Oh.

@FreshOnDesk I do

Fresh & Friends generational run in Rumble Quals who says no??

Hello from Bahamas 🇧🇸 Such a beautiful place 💙

Rust content is amazing because of the storylining, and whilst the naval update is good to play I think it’s much harder to storyline and that’s why it’s not carrying as much interest? I know from my perspective I look for unique builds, alliances, enemies, all that stuff in a vid

I've never seen a level of disinterest from viewers for new content in Rust, especially for one as big as the Naval Update. Very interesting to see... maybe slightly worrying too? 😅

@MiloshTheMedic @R6esports You are. we are all cursed to this every event from here on in unfortunately

@FreshOnDesk @R6esports If I'm not sharing a floor with player practice rooms I'd consider this.

I firmly believe that the next @R6esports event should be held on a cruise ship and here’s why: 📄 No visa considerations at sea 🛳️ 2,000+ rooms is enough for everyone ⚓️ Centralised event, no travel for fans or players once on board 🍺 Pools, Bars & Entertaining spaces on board

@RushnDevils @Doki_R6 he doesnt drink canned beer unfortunately

@FreshOnDesk Should have drinked with the master @Doki_R6

Heading on a 6 day solo cruise, destination Dominican Republic & Bahamas See you all soon sailors 🫡

@realjackisdead @R6esports If we are doing a cruise then we aren’t doing it anywhere cold

@FreshOnDesk @R6esports one iceberg and the whole community is gone

@sabrinaduric @NoLimi7_ Eventually it will work its way back right

@NoLimi7_ @FreshOnDesk said to cook it further 🤔

How to uncook my sleep schedule?

@sabrinaduric Cook it further

@SokrrR6 @R6esports Class!

@FreshOnDesk @R6esports think we are deadass on the same cruise rn lol

@geometric That’s crazy 😂

@FreshOnDesk I have female friends who’ve done this, which kind of shocked me. When they showed me what it said it was just a reinforcement of whatever they had put into it.

lol I’ve just remembered about the time a few months back where I was really struggling after my breakup and my brothers advice was to speak to ChatGPT about my emotions
