About Me

   Hi! My name is Leon and I'll be using this blog to write about Esports in whatever capacity I can. I think it's best if I introduce myself, so here goes nothing...

I'm 19 years old, and currently living in the UK. I aspire to be a caster in Esports, more specifically in Counter Strike: Global Offensive. Anything you read past this point is related to how I got into the games I got into, so you probably won't care that much but do feel free to continue reading if you so wish.

That might give you an idea of my interests for this section, but regardless, here are my favourite games:
  • Counter Strike: Global Offensive
  • Rocket League
  • Valorant 
Of course, that's not to say I don't enjoy other games but I'd like to move on as quickly as possible.

Rocket League
I've been interested in Esports since late 2015, when I started playing Rocket League more seriously than usual. Over the course of around 6 months, me and my friends played the game pretty much daily, and as much as we were awful at the game (unironically in the lowest division of players), we decided to enter a tournament. It was stressful. Not even because we were literally as low ranked as we could be, but because somehow, some way we had managed to get seeded against an equally as bad team, which put into our heads "We can win this game."

2 own goals later and we're 0-2 down in game 1. I scored both of them. Genuinely wanted to cry; probably would have done, actually if I hadn't had my two teammates who evenly distributed my weight for the rest of the game. Somehow we won the game 3-2, and later the series. This was the first of our tournament experience, but it really got me interested in Esports for Rocket League specifically. We were quite a way behind the competition, naturally getting wiped out relatively early in every tournament we played, but it got me hooked on the scene, and since then I haven't looked back.

CS:GO
Well, techincally I have looked back. Or forward, depending how you see it. In 2017 I played my first Counter Strike tournament, but met a worse fate than we had done in Rocket League. I put so much effort into trying to be good before the tournament that the result didn't matter, and again I was determined to be somewhat competent.
