[@Halogenvsrg]

As someone who works in a career that very much intersects within hobbies (software development, and the hobby of programming), there are a lot of parallels that make this extremely understanding. So many people are like "man, must be nice to play video games as your career", but what many don't realize is that when something you love becomes something that you have to do as a job, where you don't have control of all of the parameters like you would for a hobby, it starts to absolutely take a toll. There's times where I take time off from work, and hop on my home computer and do the same thing in concept, writing code -- but it's for stuff that *I* want to do, and that makes all the difference from a mental health perspective.

[@pbjisagod]

best take

[@DevinHeida]

He ultimately will never be able to say this, cause the team could get fucked, but I still think he came back to comp to get keon signed. Then quits again, cause he never wanted to play comp but did it as a favour for keon since keon pretty much got watsons career started. This way keon has an org backing him and a good team, madness and obviously vaxlon taking back his old spot. None of this can be said, cause the org could drop them if they felt they were being played.

[@magnarion]

im so conused, i just watched the video, and i could swear i heard im say just that? Furia wanted him, and that was his demands. Its not like he ran was the deal was signed. Furia is going to lan and have a replacement. Where is the drama?

[@DevinHeida]

@@magnarion part of the deal he said was that he would come back to comp of madness and keon would join, they were doing ranked grind together and meshed but I personally think it would've been to get keon signed. Either he didn't expect this to happen as they were doing well with vaxlon or he had just said it in the moment. His bluff we'll call it, was called and they left vaxlon to join. As watson had said he never did like comp but now if he steps down, he's gotten keon signed and they take back vaxlon. But if goes out right and says his intention was to get them signed and back out right away, it could like he was playing the org and they could drop the team if they wanted to.

[@vicw4522]

That's the biggest amount of copium I have ever seen man, Wattson is just a lazy bozo that thinks he can live a fairytale life bc he got 4k viewers on twitch. Good luck maintaining any of that in 1 year.

[@ajhandsome01]

@@vicw4522 yea we do not care

[@chirstchurchNZ]

i mean ya gotta respect him for giving the spot to someone who actually has the passion and wants to play but not only that admitting hes not happy anymore and wants to improve his mental health so for them reasons alone could defs not be mad at the legend

[@ElderDarkk]

yea super well done on all parts imo

[@positivevibes532]

You're a real one Wattson. At the end of the day you have to do what's best for you. You're a great player and the community loves you, that's the only reason people are mad to see you go.

[@antje0334]

Watsson tasted some 🐱 and now he doesnt have passion 😂

[@TheNewThrone]

Yep 🤣

[@jupiterapollo4985]

You guys are probably right tbh. That human instinct defies all reality 😂

[@thesaddestdude3575]

Wait did he got a gf? I mean he deserves a happy lifer so good for him.

[@dillonb5841]

im gonna lose my mind if wattson comes back to ALGS again

[@gammartageon76]

Why

[@will8325]

He doesn't deserve too

[@pkolaboy08]

He would have to WANT to do it

[@MiguelJackson22]

I’m save you guys time: 1. He hates competing 2. Vaxlon loves competing 3. Vaxlon took took his spot

[@pkolaboy08]

He also likes swimming

[@joaquinpangelinan9862]

I knew it... he couldn't stand madness voice either

[@jupiterapollo4985]

No one can stand that voice. Probably the reason he struggles to find a girl, among other things...

[@christopherpitts3941]

Wattson a real one got his boys on an org and when he realized he needed to step back he did so and gave his friend an opportunity to play as well anyone mad at him for prioritizing his life and happiness over competing is silly

[@IOSALive]

Zipp News, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!

[@leoevinay2]

vaxlon is the best replacement tbh for them, the passion is there and he been grinding. im glad for wattos too though, he was much happier just streaming/doing challenges!

[@user-vf4oh1pd9t]

He's unbelievably talented and gave us one of the most memorable events in Apex history but he just is not the type of person that's built for competitive. I'm glad he's done rather than the half-in half-out blueballing. Yeah it's a huge "what if" but that's whatever, preferable to Alb-esque retiring and unretiring over and over.

[@teazzers]

I mean respect to him for prioritizing his happiness over his spot in pro league. But he's fortunate enough he could just throw away an opportunity like this.

[@christopherpitts3941]

I wouldnt call it throwing an opportunity away he just weighed his options and content makes him more money and gives him more free time

[@teazzers]

@@christopherpitts3941 Which I respect. But at the same time. He is throwing it away. Cause this is the second time he came back to pro league&left..

[@JimmiePitts]

This dude really said nah I'm good when he had to show up for work for 2 months 😅

[@hossice]

he was trying to do 2 jobs, content creation and being a pro player. looking at the people who do both, they look and sound miserable ngl

[@jupiterapollo4985]

Show up to a slave labor job for 2 months, or work for yourself? You decide which is better.

[@arctictropic1147]

Wattson hit the nail on why becoming pro is the worse idea for your career. You MUST spend hours on a game from afternoon to night, removing your social life and other hobbies. You have to commit to these hours or you're going to be left in the dust. Financially, it is extremely terrible, you make significantly less money than other jobs that don't require the same amount of commitment. You can't even go anywhere with your esports pro life. You have a short life span compared to other careers, and it can become difficult to continue financially after your time is up.

[@salvest3rr]

Sounds like a minimum wage job half the country does everyday? Wow poor guy!

[@gleetR]

Respect for keeping it real.

[@zeronin4696]

Cant wait to see wattson in split 2 😊

[@hebecookies]

giving spot to another player already show that he is not type of person that compete, as he said. good for him

[@Tyr808]

Fair enough. He’s talking about the future of a gaming content career, Apex is one game. It’s going to be hard for a lot of people to accept because their dream is his less preferred option, but that’s just life. Sometimes someone else is going to have something you want so badly and they won’t even care about it. You can feel about that however you want, but if you’re going to judge that you have to try to put yourself in his shoes, and from his perspective it’s obvious. He can either do something he likes, or something he doesn’t anymore.

[@Jesus-hf2zo]

“Don’t believe the rumors” The rumors were spot on lol

[@callmebox2793]

Bro only gets to be alive once and understands it. I love that the decisions are thought out and healthy.

[@iXyillo]

Bros a quitter simple as that. He quit before we knew he’d quit again.

[@buickgrandnatty]

dudes literally explaining the life of 75% of people, you dont have time to hang with friends, you cant work out in the afternoon, whaaa whaa whaa dude, welcome to life.

[@TrkJustin]

I agree, everyone should live a miserable life when they have the option not to

[@salvest3rr]

​@@TrkJustinyou missed the point, noone feels bad for this dude

[@TrkJustin]

@@salvest3rr yeah, im happy he chose what he wanted instead of listening to others

[@Vendredo.]

@@salvest3rrhe’s not asking you to feel bad for him

[@Vendredo.]

Well he gets the luxury to quit so why wouldn’t he take it?

[@onit_4208]

Bro said I like swimming 😂

[@pkolaboy08]

It's swimming laps lol, not the kitty pool

[@brandonbauley9754]

I respect it, let him do what makes him happy

[@treymorey]

13 minutes of literal hot air coming out of someone’s mouth.

[@crazyasian14]

Facts - content creation always makes more than being a pro player for Apex like the money pool is a joke, especially how much time they put in. Well as the amount of fcking bugs the game gives you. Without pros supporting this game, Apex would continue to die off.

[@melolovesmilo]

Thats why Hal always said that pro players should NEVER count out streaming. Like milk money from your main job

[@dronghar5751]

He is sooo right,he is defenetly a top 5 player when he wants to play,he has something that nobody can teach you

[@DonChavaron]

Video starts at 1:00

[@jpow12]

You’re a genius for ripping content from apex pros and somehow not getting in trouble

[@illCMAC]

Finally some drama in Apex where everyone is better off in the end.

[@matthewlee8618]

3pm-11pm is my favorite shift. Can’t hang with friends if they’re working and I can get everything done before work like working out

[@jusmulletman8245]

Start what you finish. Show some integrity and keep your word. If you feel your a liability, work on it. At some point your going to feel a liability when learning anything. Thats on your character. Im not a fan of hiswattson but why did you compete in the first place if you didnt even have the drive to be there from the start...

[@liggerstuxin1]

Maybe skip your recap and just play what’s in the title

[@bahnimanborah]

I am happy for him. There is only 2 true reasons anyone will actually keep playing this game. One is for fun. Two if you're too competitive and gamer geek who doesn't care about the actual real world life.

[@tomhanks1732]

11:20 "today was the first day i got out of bed in less than 2 hours" - what does this mean? does dude wake up and stare at his phone in bed when he sad?

[@tvortbox]

Bro spends 2 hours on his phone in the morning frying his dopamine receptors and blames apex for not being fun 😂

[@illrhymes25]

im in agreement with hal here, dude was signed to a pro team and just dipped in the most unprofessional way possible because he doesnt like it anymore? sure fine do what is good for you but he should definitely be black listed from the algs teams.

[@ironprest8564]

I swear to god these pros be so ungrateful for they amazing circumstances to play video for a living “it’s not fun” you know what else is not fun having to work a 9-5 every week day get 2 measly ass days to do what you want than back to the grind.

[@ksomeone1]

what content creation tho?

[@ajhandsome01]

making KZbin vids streaming posting tiktok clips etc

[@Monolu]

I said this when he joined. This guy is just throwing people under the bus

[@TheNewThrone]

Bro you signed up for it then quit on your team. Fine if you dont want to play but you never should have started again in the first place

[@HumbleDude46995]

He feels like he isnt good enough when stacked up against the PRO's and doesnt find it fun

[@EKaneGrant]

I got muted in ALGS livestream cuz I said HisWattspn looked funny 👁️👄👁️

Good for you prioritizing mental and emotional health

[@quackerz9937]

Bro can't handle anything out side of bronze to pred

[@stealth798]

I gotta say he shouldn't have came back just to leave again :/

[@realghostofdreams]

Sweet and Hiswattson are probably two of the slimiest top Apex streamers. This guy trying to play others besides himself a fool. So, that means, a lot of performative actions from the Keon and HW, the two suspects. Mdness and Vax not at all a part of this scheme

[@oGBeginner]

I feel like you've gotta be special ed, to make it so far in a game that you're on a pro team with big potential but then all of a sudden playing the game as your career "isn't fun". This generation disgusts me. Being stuck away from my family for atleast 60 hours a week, I really cannot relate.

Def the better choice

I mean, you're a pro. You gotta commit massive amounts of time&dedication. You gotta have passion. Clearly he doesn't have it.

[@ajhandsome01]

Who does these days

[@arctictropic1147]

So what? Dude already reach top pred multiple seasons and performed well in ALGS. If he made his own decisions for his own future to not continue the pro scene, then he has every right to do so.

[@teazzers]

@arctictropic1147 Duh. That's exactly exactly what I was saying. You're comment is unnecessary.

[@elvinc.brasov8480]

Very thoughtful comments people have about Watson… in my opinion however, we’ve seen this kid give up, pick back up, quit, and rejoin so many times at this point I think he is honestly just not consistent. I don’t trust him anymore

[@its_kc7088]

He legit just used his position to secure his buddies org contracts and then made up a bs excuse and quit. Extremely disrespectful to the entire pro scene and if his friends didn't know this, to them too. Almost seems as hes just attention seeking or he just simply doesn't want to dedicate as much time to get anywhere in the pro scene. Him saying he is not competitive is just a bs excuse, no one gets into a pro team, climbs through pred ranks every season and isnt competitive lmao.

[@kaengiman]

Would be way more disrespectful to everyone else if he played even though he did not have the passion to perform at the required level. Plus someone else could use that spot and do better which increases the general skill level of the scene and makes FURIA more of a contender.

[@samuelbrozek5618]

Bro did not watch the whole video

[@samuelbrozek5618]

"attention seeking" are you dumb? he's LEAVING the pro scene. Pro players get 10x the amount of attention compared to content creators.

[@Ottoni174]

"he secured his friends a lan spot and org salary for at least this lan, how disrespectful!" also it was just a roaster change tbh its just not because wattson is one of the biggest players in apex
