- When I was a kid I had a recurring dream.
- I was onstage.
- It was pitch black.
- A crowd of tens of thousands of fans awaited as my team and I listened backstage.
- Suddenly, the slow thunder of a drum began to ring across the stadium.
- We walked out to the deafening shrieks of our audience and proceeded to kill the enemy nexus.
- Fame.
- Growing up, I’d watch Bjergsen, XQC, and JoshOg and think ‘I want to be that.’
- I always loved the attention.
- And when we started VBG, I thought, if we worked really hard, maybe we’d be famous one day.
- But six months ago, things started to get out of hand.
- Fortnite came along and gave us the shot we needed.
- Millions of players.
- Sweaty noobs to farm.
- Four months later, we still weren’t enough.
- And I don’t want to complain.
- We are skilled players.
- And I also don’t want to claim that we suck.
- So many streamers are astronomically shittier.
- But with this new patch, we’ve had difficulty adjusting.
- We’re so used to jetpacks.
- To being able to shopping cart from Retail to Salty.
- But now we get shit on and only win 1 in 10 games.
- That’s more than once an hour.
- And it’s more than most people.
- But we need to get our shit together.
- Because we feel guilty.
- Because when we are broke and struggling, all we dream of is Ninja level of success.
- We prayed it would all work out better than this.
- So what do we have to fix?
- Well it's not that we have no talent.
- It's just that we're scared.
- Scared of commitment.
- Of getting sick of it.
- Of disappointing ourselves.
- Or becoming irrelevant.
- We’re worried we’ll sacrifice our free time to play games..
- So we have to constantly remind each other to put your best fucking effort in.
- To take breaks away from Fortnite.
- Because otherwise the rage, frustration and laziness will keep us down.
- The money, the opportunities, the attention.
- Screaming ‘now or never!’
- Are fading faster than we can catch up.
- The reality is, we didn't come all this way to not fulfill childhood fantasies of being a pro gamer.
- To be adored by millions of people.
- To find success in the unlikeliest places.
- To fulfill our potential through online PvP.
- And hopefully, along the way, shit on TSM.
- I hope we never forget that.
- Love,
- VB Fearion
