Monsoon has one of the most unique come up stories. From being homeless but never giving up on his dream, he has become one of the most iconic players in the Apex scene. His professional journey hasn't been easy however. Once being the best in the game, he had a major drop off between 2021-2023. Now he returns to LAN for the first time in 4 years. THIS IS THE STORY OF MONSOON.

[@rokkkleee112]

Monsoon was the goat because he was one of the only pros who would actually stream scrims. He’d mute when talking through mistakes but it was so cool getting to actually see what was happening in scrims and who was doing well.

[@RandomGamingFTW]

mande also streams them

[@Jigolopuff]

if Sweet streamed everything, more people would have eyes on him and consider him the goat way more

[@societyreborn33]

Verhulst does now too. Big E lol

[@jr8782]

Hal?

[@soccerguy2433]

I've been watching scrims for years?

[@wolfgineer9340]

people forget just how respected complexity was.. worlds edge they literally ran the entire northeastern section of the map. Teams would avoid dropping anywhere near that area, forget directly challenging them as they would loot and wipe your squad out immediately. That guaranteed them on alot of zones multiple points before 3rd zone and easy placement points after that. They were so dominant

[@Jaceftp]

Very likely had a cheater onboard.

appreciate it a ton

[@ikigani869]

I feel like this LAN was legendary so many good players

[@JumbaGW]

The level of competition keeps rising, and it was the first time most international teams could play with a full roster and not subs. Truly one of the most competitive tournaments so far.

Almost like it was on purpose 😉 (it wasnt this vid shoulda been out 2 weeks ago lol)

Monsoon is a really real one. Struggle life breeds grit and determination. Never give up, never give in.

[@Bipbapbop_]

Great video! Monsoon really is one of the goats, nice to see him getting some love.

[@FreddeLibre]

love these videos. not sure if thats allowed but i think posting these on the comp subreddit would be very helpful. :)

[@JumbaGW]

Appreciate it! I've had the pleasure of talking to some of the admins on the comp reddit and they've even shared my video there. I plan on posting this but was waiting due the influx of LAN content.

[@deathsuwu]

Dude this OG streamers is the goat shoutout to shroud for raiding him, shoutout do DrDis for raiding Shroud. I didnt know Monsoon life was this tough before, big respect to him for putting that hard work for the passion and what he loves!!!!

[@CAL6double0]

No lie I was expecting to see somebody cheated or got banned but this video literally made my day. I just really hope he never gives up and I hope one day he lifts that trophy high above his head

[@Andyisrepublican]

This guy deserves so many more subs his vids are quality bruh and very good great job bro know I’m rooting for you

[@glutentaco]

Keep up the grind. You are producing high quality, very entertaining content.

[@MikeDillon]

Quick note: I was in Monsoon's stream when the shot happened (was editing for his teammate Zachmazer at the time). Shroud didn't raid him after that shot, people were flocking because they wanted to see if he was legit/wanted to praise him. If he raided him, it wasn't after the shot, he was thanking Shroud for the praise because of all the people coming over from Shroud's stream on their own (thousands coming over)

[@JumbaGW]

First off, whats up Mike! Ik you've been an editor for a bunch of the top Apex creators for a while, preciate the comment. Second, I recall in my research I had found it was a raid and why I said that, but maybe what I found was wrong. Actually makes the whole situation much more astonishing that many people flocked in from one clip, pretty cool!

[@tylolive]

In the edit you showed muffinz when you were introducing ishiny but great video man. You should do a video on Sweet haven't seen one

Monsoon really do look like the homeless bird lady from Home Alone

[@IamJacksColon4]

You did touch upon it but it needs to be highlighted that Complexity invented the Gibby meta, which is the longest lasting meta in Apex lasting even longer than Wraith.

[@agentcodybanx8909]

They aren't the reason Gibby was still good, he hardly gets nerfed and the maps favored his kit. That why you see him fall in and out of meta.

[@IamJacksColon4]

@@agentcodybanx8909 first to use to him comp, nobody else was running him.

[@Maedaaay]

monsoon is the goat. ill never forget dying to coL in the summer circuit on kc, and after a 3v3 fight we lost and watched them drop like 30 kills. it was cool back then, you just had to make it to round 2\3 and half the lobby was pro teams. rooting for coL!

[@qiauls]

Super underrated thought you had over a million subs until you said you were trying to hit 100k subs

[@p3ngtato754]

I would love a vid on Mendo Liquid, my man I would mainly watch for IGL tips at the time and I personally felt like was such a hidden gem.

I may focus on some of the current players right now, but maybe one day I will do a video covering some of the OGs that don't play anymore!

monsoon the goat, sad they didn't make top 20 split 2 lan but they did make it top 30, which qualifies them for champs, looking forward

I got teamed with that ishiny guy in a pub once. Easiest win I ever had. Dude was just going around so fast killing everyone. To them three stacking pubs must be a cakewalk.

[@JumbaGW]

That reminds me of back in season 0 when I got teamed with sickks, who is now 100Ts coach. Insane game and then it was crazy to go seem him win an online ALGS tourney with Wigg lmfao.

[@betterdrugsthanyours]

I was just thinking watching this lan like I don’t think there’s anyone who has been in the Apex comp scene as long as Monsoon who has gotten as little exposure as him. Actually remember watching his stream years ago and him being pretty cool/not as overly sensitive as a lot of Apex streamers.

[@scoobysnacks23]

You can't play ultra aggressive and have continued success in Apex. Other teams adapt. It's happened time and time again. Complexity, Sentinels, Furia, Aurora, Fire Beavers, all once considered the best fighting team in their region have seen success then fallen off the face of the earth. It generates a greater level of variance that you can't sustain in a positive manner when other teams adjust their play style to counter.

[@JumbaGW]

This is a really interesting point, I may actually look into this deeper!

[@calamfischer7009]

How was he in the open, back to his opponent but doesn't go down? But all monsoons bullets hit?? Is it like a lagswitch or something? I'd be checking data transfers, everyone else seems to be bogged down

People forget it's a BR sometimes. Without luck and good loot you can be the best player in the world but you'll still have bad games on Apex or any BR really.

[@sourdiesel8344]

Exactly, it's why i find it so funny that the fans shit on certain teams when they aren't doing well.. there's so many variables in apex it's insane.

Nope 👎 false narrative. There's a reason that there has been 5 lans but only two teams to ever win them. 3 times tsm, 2 times DZ.
