Also, I've forsaken my ambitions of an IT career to just become a corporate drone and now I'm on the maximum payscale for my role + I asked my manager if I could be his padawan and he basically said yes so now I'm on track to become an even more managerial corporate drone. Yay for sacrificing life for progress. Hi5 6ah! | ||

That being said, 1 week till dreamhacks and I've settled on a few decks unless someone gives me some super secret tech. I think we can do EET boys. That's cute that you think it's just 3 pages. | ||

Yay for sacrificing life for progress. Hi5 6ah! Hi5. I'm actually taking time off for dreamhack for the first time in years. My boss is still stressing about it because I'm too important to go missing for a week but she doesn't really have a choice. Protip tho: don't been so useful that they can't move you up from where youre at. That seems to be my problem right now. | ||

Nah it's pretty much impossible to rent in London on a basic salary as it is but if I'd want to do IT I'd have to do studying alongside it or take a break from work and it's just not affordable. Progressing to manager is a lot less effort and good money for little extra work, maybe even less work. But I'm a middle class white guy with parents so hopefully they chip in for a house sometime soon. | ||

There are good and bad places like everywhere. The bad just tend to be a bit more hardcore than most. Coming from a well off good background with loving parents helps in any country I think. Sometimes it makes me wonder if they just blamed me more if I wouldn't be better off than them always being prepared to help. Then I slap myself and be thankful  Dammit how did this get so real so fast. Scip you are a magician. | ||

Memes are the fastest way to a man's heart In the end, your time is the only thing you ever truly own. Invest it in any way you feel fit, but don't regret what you did with it once you're running out. | ||

Are you in the go4ow discord? They have a LFT thread that you can post in that seems to get decent traction for scrims and other people looking for high-level pugs ect. | ||

From what I've heard the comp scene doesn't put a huge emphasis on being Heroic because OWs ranking system isn't zero sum so eventually with grinding anyone half decent should get there. That said the FPS community tends to run on a lot of 'that guy looks good lets play with him a bit' as far as scouting goes, so any way you can get around better players and get seen is what you're looking for. Heroic rank may not get anyone to instantly recruit you but you'll certainly be in higher level games around better players. tldr: get high mmr to be in good games, play in pugs/in houses, scrim(whether you join a team or just as a ringer/sub) to be seen in a comp atmosphere, do all of it, it's all about being visible to the people you want to play with. | ||

Yeah but that's the next step once I have any sort of team. Right now I'm in position where I'm working second shift so I'm home at midnight and hardly any people I know are playing at that hour, so I'm trying to figure out how to best spend my weekend OW time. And whether it's better to spend my late-night OW time on grinding ranked or searching for any sort of scrims/pugs. I suppose I'll try the latter for now since there's no ranked anyway. | ||
