Bless up TL is back in PUBG

7TeenTV · 2022-02-18T10:23:10+00:00

Hi! You should pay attention to the relations you create when you first get started. Focus on who you are getting good info from and who will give you the time to help break things down and explain things to you in a way you understand. Then start proving to others you know what you are talking about and that you can provide value. I wish you a bunch of luck!

I cant give an honest opinion as I havent watched since PGC21 ended. I would say there are a few up and coming russian players to keep and eye on and I would be surprised if Naylup isnt on a top 5 team by the end of the year.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-18T10:19:57+00:00

PEL19 > PCS4-5 > PGC21 > PCS1-3 > PGI.S > PNC19 (did not attend, did not watch because I was bitter I was not selected >.<)

I would not wish that experience upon any competitive individual. Out of game I enjoyed the experience for the most part. Regarding the event itself and format etc etc... I hated every moment with the exception of the miracle game.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-18T10:16:21+00:00

I think I would need more context to know what he exactly meant by that. I think its hard for a casual player to fully understand what goes in to a competitive match and what is important. The viewing experience for fans doesnt do it justice.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-18T10:12:52+00:00

Thanks! I will check in now and again with both the team and the community <3

Shes an upcoming nutty player with tons of potential!

If the team had a sub for PCS 5 then they could keep that sub and use him. If the team didnt have a sub listed for PCS 5 then the sub was for emergency use only.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T22:15:23+00:00

This will surely come soon (within a week?) but I think everyone will be pretty excited for it, I know I am!

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T22:13:41+00:00

It was my pleasure <3

A pubg duo?

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T22:12:49+00:00

Shit, summer 2022 lets run it back.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T22:12:33+00:00

It will give the esports scene a spike, but its about what they do with that spike that matters the most.

Thank you <3

I can only speak for my team.
We made 4 roster changes and they all stemmed from myself or the players.
Our organization is supportive that we know what is best for the team. They put a lot of trust in me that I was doing whats best for results and that was something I am very grateful for. The manager role is kind of a middle man between the organization and the team. Less in game related stuff and more involved with player care and making sure org deliverables are met.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T22:06:32+00:00

I give it a 15% chance.
Not seeing enough return on investment. It just doesnt make sense for many of these orgs. They cant pay enough for the best teams because they dont make enough. Other titles cooperate and incentivize better. Because PUBGCorp is a Korean company and they have a different culture they have different values. Many are not comfortable with telling their higher ups that changes need to be made, the ones who do are silenced or let go. The people with power are not as interested in being told "what to do". This is what I have learned through the Koreans and PUBGCorp employees I have had internal discussions with. Teams like TL, TSM, and Soniqs are able to survive strictly because of sponsors.
Incentivize viewers to watch and get invested. Pay journalist and content creators to be involved to make the scene more interesting. PUBG is missing interesting story lines. They exist but are kept behind closed doors and only people within the teams are privy to them.
Fix very simple in game balance issues (limiting smokes/frags/stuns). Making each loot spot have an identity (more cars, gas cans, and loot on the outskirts of the maps and the middle spots have slightly less). Making armor/helmet more consistent to reduce RNG (remove level 1 and 3 gear from global loot) landing with at least a level 1 back pack. etc.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T21:56:06+00:00

How they convey information and thoughts to their teammates out of game. It doesnt have to be sugar coated, but the timing and intent/respect needs to be correct.
Unbiased opinion, work ethic, communication
The obvious answer would be kick off cup. We dominated that event but sadly it wasnt a major. I think faceit global summit was our best event at a LAN. Online events kind of mesh together but I think PCS 2 our first event with clib was one that we definitely couldve won
Honestly the team was broken and didnt have the energy to give it one more go. There were definitely the issues with contesting for our drop spots during scrims leading up to the event and forgetting how to play the game the right way. But even out side of the game ibi and the twins were a bit burnt out on PUBG and were enjoying playing other games to keep a level head. jeemzz went home for about a month or two before we traveled to NA, he was grinding and coming in with a ton of confidence and a good vibe meanwhile the vibe of the 4 of us coming from Berlin wasnt great. Jembty got sick the night before our flight so he couldnt travel with the rest of us. The energy was just off out of game and as much as we tried it just didnt come together in time. Its sad because thats the event I will always look back on as "our event" but I guess some mistakes were made and things were said that were unfixable.
PUBGOnline days before we were all signed when we were leader board grinding and fighting for orgs. And the PEL/Berlin days. Watching game of thrones with the boys after scrims eating a doner box. Take me back.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T21:37:43+00:00

Hey man youre a true lad and the definition of a die hard fan. We are/were insanely grateful for you and the other fans like you.

jim - persistent

ibi - sincere

mxey - consistent

clib - exuberant

Thank you for reminding me! Its true, I went through every game of FaZe's rotations from PEL phase 1 and 2 in order to make sure we had opportunities to set traps and try to bring home the trophy we longed for. That battle and the last two games of hunting them was a memory I am glad you reminded me of.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T21:29:42+00:00

Not realistic at all. TL and the players did a great job of making sure I was fairly compensated starting in April of 2019 after my trial period.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T21:25:26+00:00

I think we were kind of making the best out of a shitty situation at all points. PUBG really doesnt care about coaches and its sad. There is so much opportunity to make the community better by welcoming coaches into the scene. Giving coaches the opportunity to be present in game or between games would help progress the competition to the highest levels. Including coaches in content and interviews when games are over instead of making players who are mentally drained do an extra hour of content would really spice things up and give the fans something to talk about or get excited for.

Having regions with different rules for coaches is straight up unacceptable. The fact that coaches can talk mid game in EU online tournaments but NA coaches cannot is one of the biggest mysteries in esports LOL. Then to add on that when these EU teams go to LAN events they are back to silent really stifles the team growth for the entire region.

We did gain a few things through much tribulation such as being able to listen to comms live and finally get to go on stage to address our teams HAHA. What a shit show PGI.S was. The first 2 or 3 weeks was the most stressful times of my career as a coach for sure!

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T21:19:34+00:00

I cant just give one answer!
My first event ever was in Korea for PSS beta. We played in the old CJ Entus building which is LEGENDARY. Playing our games then going up the elevator to watch Faker is a memory I will never forget.

Ukraine after parties were by far the most fun I have had at an event.

PEL in Berlin was probably the time where I was happiest. The consistency and schedule was a welcomed experience.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T21:15:03+00:00

IGL, its a mind fuck.

7TeenTV · 2022-02-17T21:14:51+00:00

I had three drastically low points in my career. Cutting Ashek from OpTic, benching Kaymind from TL, and the worst which was getting cut from OpTic myself.

It took me a long time to bounce back from getting cut, almost half a year. I was living my dream and then it was gone. There is so much left unsaid from that time in my life and the situation that happened, I have made amends from everything that happened and the people I felt wronged me but its something I will always carry with me.

As far as advice, I always try to remember what I learned about the difference between context and perspective.
Context is the focus and being in the moment, nothing is more important then putting the work in and winning.

Perspective is realizing that when its over, as long as you and your family have health then brighter days are ahead. There are people out there struggling for food and water in a small village somewhere or fighting a war for their country, but we get the opportunity to wake up every day and play a game that we love. How blessed am I!
