my dad started playing tf2 when it had came out. he started playing on private pick up games on website tf2lobby probably around 2011. he was the one who got me into competitive tf2 later on. i was still just playing pubs and shit like minefort 24/7 crits. during 2012 i started playing mw3 and i also cheated in that game. i was in 5th grade and i wasn't very smart. i ended up getting vacced because of cheating. later on, i get back into tf2 and my dad's been playing tf2centers now. i start playing pubs again but i started to play more spy. I find out about stabby stabby through a friend named hunt who i played against in a pub one time and decided to add him after it. he also mained spy and he was going to play on a UGC steel team with others in the community he played in. i started playing more and more lobbies usually in spy. my dad once played heavy a lot in tf2lobby but played more soldier in 6s. i also was interested in 6s and quickly found my calling in scout. during this time i didnt really i know how to find a team other than putting LFT in my name. i realized people are probably not going to pick me up because of my vac ban so i decided to start playing on a second account. during this time i found soldier more interesting and decided to put up my first lft, for soldier in iron HL. a new group of people who originally played CoD picked me up and after trialing me on MGE, i got the spot. during this time i was really shy of my voice and age;i was only 12 during this time. i only used my mic when our team scrimmed or when we all stacked a lobby. i remember the first time we stacked a lobby we had a whole lot of iron players and their team actually had a bunch of gold/plat players and we won. during this time i also got into 6s more and went back to scout. i also ended up leaving the HL team due to my own immaturity. i found 6s pick up games off of someone i found in tf2center named durvid, who i was friends with on my old account. during that time the team he was on just lost their scout. i really wanted to play on their team but i was shut down for being a shitty lobbylord and everyone talked down upon me. then one process pug, i ended up completely rolling their team, which had multiple people on the team i wanted to join. right after they asked me if i wanted to try out and i made the team, Wing Wang in UGC steel. the team ended up dying and i think all of those dudes play csgo now. anyways i ended up not playing another 6s team for a while and found a few HL teams to play on, and some random plat 6s team with like lollers on it rofl. after playing tf2 for a pretty long time i realised i wanted to play esea. i played a shit ton of pugs anywhere i could find one and met kounterparts/sola from party pugs and he picked me up for his team that would have played s19. it actually was a pretty solid team featuring altitudecow and SUPER FAT COP SANDBLAST SKRRT but it died cuz we were all retards who just wanted to win. after that i made my first ESEA lft on tf.tv. around this time i spent a lot of time watching b4nny's stream, and he was making an open team that he would sponsor. after a random tf2pugme vari added me because i did well or something. he got a scout spot on b4nny's open team and he mentioned me to him. honestly its pretty fucking cringe now but i won't forget the way i felt when b4nny himself sent me a friend request ROFL dude i said hi to him and after like 2 paragraphs on him needing a scout on his team NOW i said "Sure! I Would Love To Play On That Team. :)" LIKE BROOOO anyway after that season the team didnt make playoffs and kinda died after that but we all still play tf2 to this day i think, like vari and BOX OF MAX AND CHEESE play IM now which is pretty cool but after that i wanted to play more and got a sub spot on weiner bros, a team that invite shiki and peyote played on. during this time my mom passed away so i stopped playing a lot of tf2 since it was my first year of high school and wanted to do well but i also played a ton of zheep pugs during that time and became friends with cookiejake. after realizing i wasnt gonna find a team i wanted to play on he let me roster ride on dog1!!! epic!!! also i was literally so close to actually playing a match because micah was offline rofl i was half awake and got baited by saam anyways i started playing more pugs with pugme and pugchamp and i wanted to find a team again for s22. my dad wasnt gonna pay for esea for me and literally every time i played esea i've had someone pay for me. seriously i have mad respect for some of the dudes in this community for being so helpful. i ended up playing on MerCanaries and thats p much where i am now, and also after like 3 seasons of silver hl i now play for burt macklin in plat now. and thats pretty much it up to now.  it was actually p fun to write all this shit lol

all in all i've been playing tf2 on and off since i was 7 (2008) rofl
