2013: After nearly a year of my friend begging me to play the game, I downloaded the game early this year. I got into it pretty quickly but decided to quit during summer. However, that fall that same friend on school retreats talked about it nonstop with me so I got back into the game. The rest of this year I just played mvm, and that's where most of my 30 ish tours in two cities came from.

2014: I don't remember how (I think through a star vid) but somehow earlier that year I found out about competitive tf2. I watched a bunch of matches and got into lobbying, and all summer I lobbied. That fall I got on an iron hl team as a sub (lol), but I met some pretty good friends. One of them was mirrorman, who I still know to this day and is one of my best friends.

2015: I finally started playing 6s as demo in steel 6s earlier that year, but ended up leaving after that season to form my own team "The Baddies." Played med on it in steel 6s (got t8). I was probably the only person who had a consistent role that season; team drama led to our roster changing every week. Met fusionn during this time (not fuzion) who remains one of my best friends. By the start of the next season, I had upgraded from my 30 fps Macbook and got a PC that gave me 200+ fps and a 144hz monitor. Played scout silver 6s (got first place in a joke season), and began to get into ESEA. We changed our roster several times throughout these two seasons, and by the time we were in open, we only had three people from the original steel roster. Ended up picking up exile and Kryptonite for the team (I had apparently added exile from a late night lobby nearly 8 months ago at this point after I triple airshot him, lol), who I still consider some of my best friends that I've met in tf2.

2016: Played my first season of open with a bunch of people that I loved playing with. We had to replace our other scout, caban, due to his attitude towards the team and bad chemistry with the team. We went on to pick up epic scout DrZoidy, who I knew for a while but never officially got to play with. We went 12-4 and ended up winning our first playoffs round (against all odds) to make IM. Ended up killing the team, as there was team drama and I personally did not feel ready for IM. Currently playing with friends on an open team and hoping by the end of this season to make IM and be ready for it. Despite putting 5k+ hours in this game I feel that I didn't really waste any time, as I met some great friends on here that compensated for my lack of friends irl ( :'( ). I haven't gotten sick of this game yet, though I'm scared of the day that it occurs.
