See Alfredo actually getting diamond and everything else that led to that goal was truly a great way to do a sponsor mini-series that didn't even feel like a sponsor (which is a good thing)! Congrats on the achievement Fredo!

[@reddragon3132]

It's to do with the skill level of the team you play. You win more for beating a team much better than you, you lose more for losing to a team much worse than you. It's how most games work

[@Ptolomey]

thats because its on the high end, the game needs to have a way of making diamond hard to achieve and maintain

[@DasFlippityFlop]

Why are people upset that this is sponsored? It’s such a good little series just appreciate it

[@WruceBayne]

Because this audience loves to bitch.

[@Lauren-zx3gx]

They just want a reason to be upset.

[@helios0074]

Dude, it's because it's Fredo. If it was anyone other than Michael, Gavin or Ryan, they'd still be bitching about it.

[@1100MC]

because people have the mentality of Sponsored = Selling Out no matter how good the content is.

[@innersysteminbound7561]

Yeah, just go ahead and make a story nobody cares about so you can get ad revenue.

[@jacobdegitz2196]

That ending is perfect. "Alfredo got a hole in one we need to restart." "WHAT THE FU" 😂😂

[@thyartismukduk4742]

Alfredo, I saw you join the ranks of AH and i had no idea who you were. Safe to say, I think i speak for us all when i say we love you and every bit of content youre in. Keep being awesome and congrats dude! You deserve it.

[@PerpetualCamel]

This guy speaks for me 👍 keep on killin it, Fredo

[@innersysteminbound7561]

Lmao, not for me. I get pissed when they just let any random person join in. Alfredo, Trevor, Matt, even Jeremy. All of them are so out of place and annoying, I don't get why people are so comfortable with them just waltzing in.

[@Splitzer316]

How do you figure Jeremy and Matt just waltzed in? they were content creators for AH, making maps and all of this cool community stuff, AH liked what they saw, brought them in, they continued to do good work, and they became part of the "on screen" team after they earned it. Alfredo I can understand, but even he came in for test runs, they liked him, and they hired him. They all earned their spots, regardless of HOW they earned it. Hell, even Gavin came in AS A FAN, like Jeremy and Matt. I think it was Burnie on a recent podcast who said Gavin and Barbara were like, 2 of the first 3 people on Rooster Teeth when the first site launched to sign up. Everyone has earned their spot.

[@Popman_71]

Sorry gatekeeper.

[@laurasaurus7399]

I love this documentary. It's great to see Alfredo outside of Achievement hunter. Sometimes he can fade into the background because he's not as loud as the others. But he's definitely just as fun to watch as the others! Also, It was nice to see a woman being good at games. As a woman who's bad at games it's nice to know that there's someone to look up to.

[@nPhlames]

You should look up to people based in if there a good role model, trust me those are the best to look up to.

[@Bullevue]

He fades in the background bc he’s not funny lmao.

Wait wait wait wait. Did this man do it in 5 days?

[@500phenom8]

he was carried because of sponsor money. makes a good story

[@TheBoundFenrir]

@@500phenom8 In a game like Siege, there's only so much "carrying" that a team can do. What really happened is the sponsor picked someone who had a lot of skill and talent, and gave him a team on his level, rather than the dumpster fire that is the AH crew (love them to death, but we all know they suck at videogames :P ). I remember there was an AH video a while back where he mentioned his smurf account had hit platinum or something, and everyone was pointing out that at that level it's really not a smurf account anymore. Yes, he was given a bunch of luxuries to make it easier to succeed, but don't dis the talent it takes to actually pull that rank off.

[@hannahbalkovec]

TheBoundFenrir To add on to your point, it’s a bunch of luxuries he probably would have ended up just buying himself if he had continued playing Siege as a streamer or at a semi professional level before AH. Those are things he would have bought to improve his performance to play so I’m not sure why that seems unfair to anyone. We’ve all seen how good at the game he is.

[@drenk2144]

@@500phenom8 money does not equal skill especially in an fps game. Like me for example I don't play siege or really any fps. What you're saying is that if I was given the stuff that Alfredo was I would also be a diamond rank player even when I haven't touched the game at all. That is simply not true such as if you give a master a stick and a commoner a sword the master will always win out due to higher skill than a commoner. The equipment helps but if the user has no skill then the equipment is no more than a stick. TLDR: The gear does not make someone skillful skill makes the gear meaningful to a degree.

That ending scared me. Your legacy will not go unremembered.

[@Raxtalion]

Congratulations to Alfredo. Personally, I don't do competetive gameplay much anymore, but I do get the feeling every now and then, like in mirror's edge catalyst, I worked my way up to the top rank there. It's not really anything though compared to a game like siege when you're working with other people to beat another group of people, there are a lot more variables there to work with and your own skills need to be honed as well. So good job, that's no easy feat. Alright everyone, game how you like and remember to have fun.

[@Spectra1947]

Alfredo, I know you don't know me at all but I am so proud of you that you made this happen. I am so glad that you were able to tackle this goal head on and come out on top. I am also glad to see that you genuinely still love your job and did not lose sight of that. Thanks for being a great inspiration and role model for this community!

[@senpwuppy]

This entire series gave me an even better appreciation for Alfredo at AH. I saw A Good Omen 5 released today, so I went back t watch them all. And the opening when Alfredo got on stage in this video gave me goosebumps!!

[@deathman446]

I love Alfredo he is so genuine and down to earth. Hitting that milestone is an amazing feat for sure

Check out his Twitter or search around dude. I saw this one video where he went 1v5 and won in like five minutes.

[@kuromaru5344]

I can feel the struggle, being a gamer as something you love and just can't let go and wanting to be better to something like a diamond in siege can be nerve wrecking. But at least he made it and had great people friends to play with unlike most gamers.

[@kamikazma3126]

Would love to see more stuff like this, maybe like Jack going through a trials game doing the world records. Michael retrying some of the past rage quits with a calmer mature mindset. Gavin and the lasso. Just stuff that has haunted the hunters. Putting demons to rest. Great content.

This was an amazing story that was told to us. Thanks Omen for giving Alfredo the opportunity to share his journey and his final hurrah in the competitive field. Thank you Achievement Hunter for letting Alfredo share his story to us and providing your views on Alfredo. Finally, thank you everyone who watched and enjoyed this.

Goddess is a good R6 player... I really wish she would change her attitude. She's always talking down to people. It's a horrifyingly bad look for Cloud9. Besides that... This was an awesome doc. Alfredo, congrats again on making it to diamond. Definitely not an easy path to travel. And the Omen sponsorship really made a ton of sense. Glad they can find ways to create income/advertising to keep giving us free content. That's a good business look and smart marketing by RT and AH.

[@EiferBrennan]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who was annoyed by her, she really rubs me the wrong way, I wasn't too chuffed with the other guy either, they both seemed a little arrogant.

[@beng5268]

Man I was about to say the same thing those cloud 9 people look like absolute dicks like we understand you are “pro gamers” but don’t have to be salty when someone who isn’t playing on a pro gamer team is almost as good as you are

[@dbstewart86]

I always find the concept of an arrogant pro gamer amusing, because it's ultimately someone who spends an insane amount of hours practicing something for relatively paltry return. It just seems silly to me how people think so much of themselves over something like that.

*Amazing video.* The promo part was good, Alfredo was hyped awesomely, the achievement could've been emphasized more but that ending was perfection. Great work!

[@koreancowboy42]

Great job Alfredo, you got this far man. I can understand such a grind. I manage to get all ranks, except diamond. It is a difficult rank to gain also it really depends on you and your team. Once your losing a match, my advice is take acouple mins to break and work yourself back up to focus on the next game. My squad and I practice just relaxing and just except if we are losing then we just need to know we are having fun atleast and need to learn to play better since we all have our weaknesses. I'd say in the future if you intend to grind for diamond again or play any other competitive game "just keep it up, never back down. Don't let the game play you".

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

I wish this was longer, honestly. This was super engaging, and really makes me think there's some potential in a Rooster Teeth e-sports team, be it in house or sponsored. Really liked these videos.

Alfredo doesn't make me laugh as much as the veteran AHers, but this little series made me like and respect him a lot more.
