LET ME GUESS YOUR RANKS: forms.gle/SRdfWhLhHyaAZuxq5
My name is Jacob "Athieno" Khamphilavong, a 19 year old content creator. Everyone has L's in their lives. People can turn them into lessons or a loss. That decision is up to nobody but yourself. I live by the Mamba Mentality from Kobe Bryant, and embrace the mindset throughout my content and to my audience.

[@tmoney1487]

"Its just a video game" Some people tend to forget this alot. People in silver rank and below seem to tend to play this game like its their job and when one teammate messes up a play they just get on the mic and start screaming and crying like a child who just lost a game of tag because their friend acidentally tripped them or something. It's a game, Im here to have fun and blow off steam and relax after an 8 hour work day not blow my lid at every reinforced rotate and bad peek.

[@enmity._.]

Exactly, if I could think of one thing wrong with low ranks it’s that your “teammates” are only your real teammates until you make a mistake.

[@macostapr3951]

@@enmity._. I agree, however when I see players who play sports react tell me its just a game, I say the same for there sport and they go nuts. Every game is just a game.

[@depthsothenso813]

Then those players shouldn't be playing rank treating it like a casual ruining it for others that are trying to win their rank. It's annoying after arriving home after work, only to be messed with team killers and jokers on your team holding your rank hostage.

[@rxbinweh19]

Bro i absolutely understand your Point but if you just want to Play for fun then play Unranked or casual

[@Septqmber]

​@@depthsothenso813one thing to note is that in the grand scheme of things your rank in a video game is not going to achieve you much in life if anything, unless you're looking to get into esports it's best to just chill, if you win a game congratulations, but if not then don't get mad over it either, you probably won't remember that loss or what the trolls in all chat said in a week's time

Bro honestly i was just raging at siege and this was the first video I seen when I got on my phone and it made me feel so much better thank u

[@MrCheezXD]

For some reason, I’m a new player, but I find the game enjoyable even though I’m horrendous, it’s so fun and I love it even though I’m garbage at it!

[@Dane4323]

same lol

[@name-ni3jc]

same, it's such an awesome game. i wish I would have started playing it sooner

You won't keep that same energy when you start playing ranked

[@name-ni3jc]

@@_dylight_ its been two weeks. Im two ranks away from unlocking ranked; im starting to hate it

[@_dylight_]

@name-ni3jc honestly best advice I can give is to just keep playing standard unless you care too much about your rank. Because ranked 2.0 just makes me want to put down the very little that is left in me after a game of ranked

[@Dane4323]

[@DoughnutDragon]

Mute them. Hell mute the entire lobby at the start of the game if you have to. Just focus on learning the game. Each death in game is just a lesson of what not to do. If you're that upset playing the game take a break do something you like and come back to it later. You'll likely play better too when you're not stressed. If you have friends who also play ask them questions and learn from them, they often have a lot to share.

[@Dane4323]

@@DoughnutDragon this is actually great advice i kept everyone muted and just focused on me and what i could do better as a player and it really helped improve my game i also would do the map training it helped learn the call outs for maps i didn’t know. i would like to add the game is also 1000% better, easier, and more fun with friends and communication once i found a friend group for siege it helped even more

[@HOST_BALL]

this is the same advice I give to everyone else I went from gold to diamond because of me learning from my deaths rather then blaming it on other things

[@fatestriker123]

Nah I play so much better when Im pissed off 😂

[@tmoney1487]

Getting pissed off to the point of being locked in isnt tilting tbh. It's not letting you emotions take control of the situation. As long as you can focus on the objective and not let the negative thoughts like "oh screw my team theyre garbage they cant aim they cant set up site" take over then you'll do fine. Just look at a content creator like Jynxzi he tilts hard all the time but he doesnt let that emotion affect his decision making.

[@fatestriker123]

"Its just a video game" "If you have way to much fun you wll throw"

Yeah lol his advice is to treat it like a job and emotionally detatch yourself from it

[@francescobaruzzi16annifa99]

⁠@@tomburgess8485it’s literally the opposite. If you’re going to play ranked, and you truly want to rank up, you don’t just throw rounds. How does nobody understand this guy?

[@0penyafaceup]

I have 2 rules I play with in siege 1- if you think someone is there ....someone is there. 2- over there is not a callout !

[@prettypinkmolly]

first rule is fuckin true bro, i always second guess and it fucks me up 90% of the time

[@SqueakyMcSqueaks]

Siege players the types to try as hard as possible to not have too much fun

[@DuckOnQuack_-]

I wish my 5 stack would understand this … literally every game is just a mental strain playing with them … and don’t even get me started if we lose a game or two 🤦‍♂️ or even better play one game, lose , then leave … like why did you join in the first place dawg fr . I just want a 5 stack that will ofc be kinda mad they lost the game but at the same time brush it off a min later and let’s have fun in the next game … I’m literally playing this game to try and have fun like the KZbinrs do .. not have a constant person bitching in my ear 24/7 bc he can’t keep his fucking emotions in check ! Like fr dawg it’s a game stfu and play .. hence y I just solo Que and will never make it to champ carrying everybody doing all the work doing 13+ kills while my team only gets like 2-3 or just straight up donuts.. I really hate siege ig idk…

[@SalemR6]

Fr always the player going 0-5 bitching the most

[@thegamingunit8704]

Ever since I watched your video I’ve been doing so much better especially the fact that right after I watched it I instantly do way more decent than before thank you

[@theworstofalltime]

the thing is, i love when i get mad at the game. it gets my real life anger out in a healthy way which actually calms me. i don’t do it with other people, but if i’m solo queuing i’ll just rage to myself for the hell of it to ease some stress.

i love how when he said “it’s just a video game” his native accent came out on “video game” 😂😂..

[@everysubjectguy]

I agree but the "its just a game" can vary from player to player, for some players its their life, however controlling emotions is very important but for some players this game is more than just a game, its like saying my dog is just a dog i can buy a new one.

[@OneWeekAgo]

This is the same advice when I got valorant and tbh I get more mad in valorant than in siege so I think I’m okay 😂

[@JETTWETT]

This can go with anything you do too like sports or any other game

[@forgivejay]

Where did emerald rank go?

[@darkwarlord99203]

I think most people understand this but the bigger problem is how to control your anger and sure it's just a video game but honestly most video games are bad for most people they're toxic cause we get mad at things and that's time wasted and time is very limited and 1 thing that's guaranteed is that 1 day we won't be here anymore and life is being wasted on a video game but I think athieno is healthy makes money and is happy so he is living the life outside of his own challenges he deals with that most of us don't deal with

[@darkwarlord99203]

I love athieno but as a 17 year old boy I struggle to control my emotions/self and I'm constantly trying to get better at it but athieno is great and has worked hard at his life and career and I think us as humans should try our best at what we need best and that's health happiness and money
