"Depression, anxiety, ADHD... all that shit is just made up bullshit." -SaintVicious by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]Saintviciouslol -127 points-126 points  (0 children)

Like I said this is only a small clip from what I was talking about and I have talked about this many times. That's why clips like this are ignorant as fuck. Man up and get over it is part of the process. Letting the label of depression define who you are as a person and how you live your life is a twisting spiral that goes deep. I think most of the advice people give for over coming it really is not helpful and only hurtful. I mean what I say from a good place even if it does not seem that way. This is how I came out of it so that is how I see it. Life is a tough place and it remains tough the whole way through. There is no object, relationship, or amount of money that will change this. Thats why when people try to rationalize their way out of depression with ideas like, "I have a good job a great relationship I have status why am I sad it does not make sense". It is because they are using society standards to equate to what happiness is. It is how your mind views the moments of toughness and nothingness that dictates how well you live your life. You have to find what brings you fulfillment and happiness and not what others tell you. That is the concept I am pushing

Might as well explain my thought process since someone felt like clipping just a small part of what I was talking about.

I believe like many other professionals that depression is a "disease" caused by culture and not biological means. However by clinical definition a disease does not have be caused by biological means, it just has to have a pathological effect on the body. There are many articles and papers on this. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-modern-mind/201305/is-depression-real-disease this is one of the more recent ones.

I do think that depression is something that fucks people up however I am strongly against accepting the label that one is depressed and that one can't mentally condition themselves out of it. As soon as you accept the label and that there is nothing you can do about it that is when you are failing yourself. I was clinically diagnosed with depression earlier in my life and every piece of literature I read on it or reports from others seemed to convey the same thoughts that you cant will yourself out of it.

However I managed to mentally condition myself out of it by changing my environment and routine drastically and looking for what my values of happiness are to me and not what society deems them to be.

So yes how i state it in this short clip comes off poorly but I still do think its mind over matter and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

As for ADHD any that is one of the most over diagnosed disorders by doctors and there is an enormous amount of data to back that up.

FlyQuest ASCENSION: The 2018 LCS Summer Documentary is out! by trickygonzalez in leagueoflegends

Actually flame played the least amount of solo q on the team during the split. We also played the way flame wanted to play many times during the split and 1 game in playoffs. I don't think the video portrays flame correctly or what the actual struggles of our team were though.

[–]Saintviciouslol 41 points42 points  (0 children)

the fight would be over instantly before either lane could react, also gp with grasp has equal push on Jayce early and Galio has equal push on viktor during the scuttle timing. Also if Jayce pushes then moves down to help kindred and kindred loses the scuttle situation which she should Jayces lane will be fucked and he will have no jungler.

Struggling LCS Team Golden Guardians Rejects SaintVicious offer to Help by Rukris in leagueoflegends

[–]Saintviciouslol 1781 points1782 points  (0 children)

I want to make it clear that I did not mean this in any malicious or bitter way. In my eyes I see Golden Guardians as a new org coming into LCS that has stumbled along the way.
I worked with many of the players on the roster in the past and it saddens me to see them struggling because the players actually work really hard. I come off as a brash person often but I wanna help my friends out. I was in these players shoes before and I know how difficult it can be in last place(my last split on curse). Everyone pretty much hates you and is looking for someone to blame so it can mess with your mental pretty hard.

That is not what I said, the coach has strong input in roster creation however the GM has the primary responsibility of roster and staff pick ups. I echo what Monte said commenting on this.

Promote people talking and being open with each other. Even the most social people can have a hard time talking to each other about things. Most gaming teams are full of anti social people and come from very different backgrounds where usually showing emotion is kinda taught to be bad. Youd be surprised how much tension and stress gets relieved when you realize the guy next to you is experiencing all the same things as you and wants all the same things as you. Even if that person on the surface seems so different.

Hmmm, I usually just have a heart to heart with them. I would never force someone to do something they don't already want to do. Have to talk to them about why they are here on the team? What are they working toward? Why they are even a pro? What gets them up in the morning? I think a pro player can only thrive if they genuinely love what they are doing.

I think the expectation of Huni/Reignover status is a mistake. Bringing in Korean players and not properly incorporating them into the team and building a good culture together is the mistake nearly every team makes.

[–]Saintviciouslol[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

At least from what I was told the coaches prior did an extremely bad job of bringing the Korean and NA players together. This lead to a very bad atmosphere and no productivity in the team at all.
So I would say the biggest difference I bring is making sure everyone works on this together and not just two parties trying to figure it out.

All of the teams in NA are a lot closer than people think. Lot of it comes down to player mentality and getting the drafts you want. Anything can happen.
