Insanely grateful to have been able to give my best and it’s recognized! Definitely the boost I needed to push harder in comp and try to play in more tournaments and scrims when my schedule allows me to 🙏 thank you Jared

The players that stood out the most to me but didn't make the cut, I recommend anyone to reach out to these people and play with them because in a different world I could have played with any one of them #compsplatoon
LIST OF GREAT PLAYERS Isang/Aster, Plerm, Pre, 5(futureeve) , Aphisto. these are all pen players I considered for my luti team and all of them are super strong and with a committed team I can see them all doing great in the future Ooame(bucket) is very strong just inconsistent and was 1/2 bucket players that I had out of 70 tryouts Atlas, Pita, and Echo are all great sword players but unfortunately I didn't feel like they were a great pick to pair with the roller player I picked, but all 3 of these players can play at a high level Brik Cactus and Mondi were shooter players that stood out a lot and would have been a good slot on any team but unfortunately I also play their roles so having them on the team wouldn't make sense and they would really have to be extraordinary for me to switch to a different weapon In terms of off meta picks I really liked Jade(Squiffer) Hawaiian (Bow) Sponge(Rapid) they all showed me they could work their niche at a decent level but I wanted to go with something more familiar for my luti team

Celebrating getting another year older by baking my own strawberry short cake 🍰

Decorating was a bit messy but not bad for a first time. Anyone want a slice?

There’s a lot to take away from this post by Jared. A lot of hard hitting and pill swallowing information midlevel needs to start acting on. This is not a one person thing, this is an entire skill level thing. Midlevel has to do better if we all want to see improvements in the scene an ourselves.

My Midlevel Experience #compsplatoon
After playing 40+ hours with midlevel, I can confidently say it was the most miserable experience I’ve had playing this game mostly because I skipped this part of the scene back in S2 and didn’t realize how bad it could actually be. It’s not miserable because of overall skill level, because yeah everything is gonna feel worse outside of top level after being in it for long. The biggest thing hurting this part of the scene is ego. I had over 60 tryouts, and almost all of them said it’s hard for them to even get four people to try out with. That genuinely confused me, because for the most part everyone I played with felt extremely similar in skill, and I could easily see these players scrimming each other regularly and figuring out how to mesh over time. This explains a lot of why midlevel feels weaker as a whole. A lot of these players simply don’t get enough meaningful playtime outside of rare pickups or X Rank, so they’re missing the constant feedback loop that actually drives improvement. Playing against people at a similar level forces you to recognize patterns, and improve through adaptions. Over time, that raises the average skill for everyone involved. There were so many situations in games where I had to explain why we were losing or what we needed to change to win and I honestly think most of these players would’ve figured it out themselves eventually if they were consistently playing each other instead of isolating themselves or waiting for “better” lobbies. when players actually PLAY THE GAME, the average skill level naturally rises. This isn't entirely mid levels fault though, I think top level players can do a better job at providing knowledge to mid level players to improve but better questions need to be asked to top players too, all the time I see questions like oh what special is best or how do i play "insert weapon here" these are terrible questions and we need to move on to better questions like "what should i have done in this scenario here" b…

Congratulations to Deep-Fried Chuds for winning SoCallie #9 and accepting your nomination for the LCS 2026!

We will be taking a week break since not many sweaty gamers want to compete on Valentines Day (or so I'm told). We will see you in two weeks for the next qual: Booyah Bay - Cable Car Coast!

Once the montage contest is over I might open up 3 montage comm spots. Figuring out pricing this month and if it’s a hit I’ll potentially open more. Just wanted to give the update since I’ve had people ask me privately 🙌
