How to Start an Esports Career, From an LCS Pro

Thanks for the advice! Loved the vid I’ve been playing for nearly 10 years, always hovered around high diamond / master but never took the game seriously in terms of strats. I know I’m past the 2 year mark, but I’m thinking of trying to actually study and see how far I can go. Probably too old now to go pro but who knows. Hopefully one day I can look back at this comment and see how far I’ve come. 😄

“You want to make sure you’re not toxic because these reputations follow you” right from the source 🤣 Great video man

This is a well done video, Solo! I think it's informative and important information for talented players that might be hesitant to becoming a pro.

Wish there was an open circuit that teams could compete in. The top end feels so gatekept with limited number of teams both in LCS and NACL.

Yeah I really do wish riot helped the tier 3 leagues a little more. It's cool that C9 teamed up with Blue Otter League, so hopefully that's a start of more grassroots orgs being mixed within the LCS ecosystem again

@@onetakehoovie5955 I agree and even if Riot stays away from it and give a good TO the ability to run a circuit, I think it would change so much. The barrier for entry is too high for even the lowest sanctioned league

Always been a fan Solo ☺️ Branding is definitely important. I remember you gained some points for me as a fan when you said you loved California Burritos lol

Interesting and informative. I’ll never go pro. But good luck to anyone who is trying!

So here is the thing about me, I have never truly wanted to climb to high elo. I think I am the only person who truly enjoys this game and I really don't want the hassle of high elo, Don't get me wrong playing in leagues and tourneys is peak league of legends. I think it gets to be a hassle when your high elo, constantly having to worry about so many thing the game becomes a chore, so I never tried. League is its own kind of fun to me and maybe one day I will push for challenger instead of staying in gold, would love to go pro, though i'd rather be a coach or a manager, my skills are better suited for that.

It's just solo queue. Solo queue is dogshit because League is a team based game and solo queue is not coordinated nor conducive to a healthy team environment. Which is why removing Ranked 5s (flex queue is a joke) was a dumb idea.

[@remotenightowl]

My advice: at the end of the day its a video game, so just have fun.
