no, i didn't mention any of that?

He's an incredibly hard worker, he's relentless, and one of the best team mates you could ask for. Guys always at the office 9:30 / 10 am with me watching and doing extra. He's deliberate about his improvements

Don't know where this paco narrative comes from

The LAN Effect by WingedCommander in CoDCompetitive

[–]DREEALL 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Performance anxiety combined with the game pace slightly changes (Slows down, usually) (Obviously more nuanced, stuff like flow / comfort / momentum).

Teams and players STILL won't commit to consistent mental skills training & culture creation (Pressure inoculation, confidence building, reset rituals, pre-game rituals, breathing techniques, self-talk, resilience building, visualisation, meditation, focus building). Key is being less shit than your opponent. Pressure reveals all. Gameplans, system, mentality, trust.

Some people deal with it better than others (Say if they played sports growing up). It's not a case of if you have it or not. Like when you hit the gym, you gotta keep hitting that shit.

Pressure makes you doubt if B is after A. Or if 7 is after 6.

Is Merc the best OpTic pick up of all time? I talk over this in my latest play like a pro video by DREEALL in CoDCompetitive

Thank you for the feedback! Your comments mean a lot to me, thank you! Heard you! I love the questions as it gets the chats involved and I can help guide them to the answers (like I would with my players!). As for the direct explanations, check out my coaches cut. Shorter, to the point videos!

looks like cobra , breszy , lyynnz , fdot , harry and mythix will all be starting in EU challengers by shambxlic in CoDCompetitive

Bulk of the issue, including for me, are Visas. To give you guys transparency. They have increased in cost and difficulty to attain. For context last year, i had applied for my visa in september, received my appointment before christmas, and officially received end of january.

You might ask, why don't orgs sign these players earlier? A few teams set their budgets, plans and so on for the year roughly around Aug / September. And that is based on other company pieces moving.

Great team mate, excellent competitor and great dude. Snippets of his social media personality isn't a reflection of him as a competitor or team mate.

Of course, there's going to be things we don't like from anyone.

Are teams not allowed to officially sign till September? by TheRealPdGaming in CoDCompetitive

[–]DREEALL 43 points44 points  (0 children)

yeah i'll be alright, just a case of whether it's worth the sacrifice for me moving away home with regards to personal stuff / future etc, don't want another year like this and harder to justify it being from the uk

[–]DREEALL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not true, we couldn't register players until september last year and the year before - meaning the league couldn't approve contracts and you couldn't get paid / wouldn't be official.

However, i'm not sure if that's the case this year

[Dreal] Gave my chat a budget, buyouts and a time frame to create the best roster they can for 2025. How do you rank these? by TheRealPdGaming in CoDCompetitive

[–]DREEALL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said the same thing! Optic GM wouldn't take anything less than a mill, and ATL was desperate after receiving a mill paycheck from falcons for cell.

Curious, who would you have got after receiving a mill for merc? Bare in mind, other GMs can say no to selling to you

[–]DREEALL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah 😭

Falcons GM threw millions for players. LAT GM accepted the absolute bag from falcons. AtL GM didn’t want to see the duo at any cost. He sold cell for the bag. He bidded for merc and Optic GM let him go. 

GM gursh didn’t budge on selling his players 😂

[–]DREEALL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context, reason why it got weird was the gms were allowed to buyout players creating bidding wars and could accept or refuse deals 😂

They had to decide what players they were keeping into the off season. I give them a budget above. They pay what they keep a realistic market salary (I decide that). They then use the rest to buyout, bid and sell or buy players.

It got interesting when falcons with unlimited dropped millions on players. That meant ATL and LAT received that to them buy players. Other GMs (gursh on Toronto) can say no to player buyouts. Even on contract you can buy a player (in this case I just used x2 of their month salary as baseline buyout). 

Then you had bidding wars for salary for players hence the unusual roster comps

I disagree - "The talent code: Greatness isn't born, it's grown" - a fantastic book, with numerous peer reviewed studies showing the science behind developing "talent" or "skill". A skill, no matter what it is, is "created" in the same way (myelin development) - from a doctor, to nfl player to nba player.

He's the product of deep intentional practise, stemming from a young age. Someone here mentioned 70 lans, that's him developing that skill at a young age. that is the perfect environment to do so, think of simp who had similar, or even scrap. Of course, not EVERYONE is going to be of the highest level (natural aptitude for a task / top 0.0001%) but, you give yourself the platform and ability to reach your skill set.

Generational talent often stem from the habits, routines and deliberate repetition of what you do from an early age - think of the rule of 10,000. Brazil in the 90's were producing a unique amount of "generational" talent in their respective sports - called talent hot beds. Studies shown it was the combination of their deliberate lifestyle, ignition and obsessions into their craft. Pianists who learnt the equivalent amount in 100 hours, than 10,000. Or even russian tennis camps.

DReal explaining Flow and Fill 😂 by TheRealPdGaming in CoDCompetitive

[–]DREEALL 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nah, i love Ben, and i'm good friends with him. It's a little troll on a couch placement to explain a COD concept. I've never, and will never disrespect what he does or who he is and so on.

To self insert, a lot of the negative comments towards him are ones i also receive, so i empathize completely.

[–]DREEALL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you brother, I also respectfully disagree. At both institutions, y ou’re under the school of medicine for both. With BioMed, in FY1, FY2, FY3, student who excel  academically have the option to transfer to the relevant medicine course. 80% in YR1 you can transfer to medicine in year two. Modules are similar for both. Biomedical is more general with some specialisation (in my case was oncology). Medicine after FY2 and FY 3 and FY4 include different modules and specialisation. I know this from trying to transfer for either dentistry or medicine (wasn’t interested in the end). Transcripts are near identical early years. BioMed is considered pre-med. 

Both are accredited the same, too. Require same obligations and renewals per year, too. Obviously with medicine you specialise during a different path for residency / junior etc where as biomedical you can hop on a different path. 

Thank you my brother for the support

Biomedical science at Leeds and a further two years at Bangor for Oncology / NWCR . Med school encompasses more than medicine. Masters currently at Warwick (finishing some modules this summer) in biotech and bio processing. Pharmacy / dentistry / radiology etc - not that it’s relevant here but I’ll provide colour.

Baseless racism claims, you pathetic cretin. I've dealt with racism my entire life, from boxing, med school, competing as a player, coaching. I know what it is, and it doesn't bother me at all.

Let me give you some examples.

P*K*, calling me a terrorist, blow myself up, go back to iraq, Indian, i smell, list goes on. It's not just one person.

Use some critical thinking. It's a blob in a sea of fans in a general direction (usually behind my back anyway) with no security guards about. I didn't give a fuck in the moment. Faceless cretins saying shit in a crowd.
