00:02:57.000 A good friend of mine, guys.

00:02:59.000 But before I get into that, guys, rumble.com slash Fresh Fit.

00:03:01.000 As you guys know, that's the home base for us.

00:03:03.000 Also, castleclub.tv, guys.

00:03:05.000 Get in there now, guys.

00:03:06.000 We got almost 7,000 of y'all ninjas in there, man.

00:03:08.000 So let's go ahead.

00:03:09.000 Let's make this thing 10K strong.

00:03:11.000 We're planning our first event.

00:03:12.000 It's going to be June 28th.

00:03:14.000 We're going to have a huge out party.

00:03:15.000 It's going to be lit.

00:03:15.000 We're going to have some celebs out there, probably some other influencers.

00:03:18.000 It's going to be a good time.

00:03:19.000 Awkward.

00:03:19.000 If you want to come by, let us know.

00:03:21.000 But it's going to be a good time, guys.

00:03:23.000 I think we're going to have seating for what?

00:03:24.000 150 maybe?

00:03:25.000 120?

00:03:26.000 120, 150.

00:03:27.000 But let's not make it awkward.

00:03:30.000 Yeah, okay.

00:03:32.000 I just had to bro.

00:03:34.000 It's Friday.

00:03:35.000 It's Friday.

00:03:37.000 So yeah, guys, get into Castle Club.

00:03:39.000 Guys, we're actually going to have a Zoom call with Awkward after this, man.

00:03:41.000 You guys are going to go ahead and be able to ask some questions, whether it's how to monetize streaming, how to become a professional gamer, et cetera, because there's ways to make money in the video game industry that you wouldn't have been able to do so maybe 20, 30, what?

00:03:53.000 Yeah, even 10, Welcome to my show!

00:04:10.000 Thanks for having me, guys.

00:04:11.000 You are the first pro gamer we've had on.

00:04:13.000 Yes, this!

00:04:14.000 Yeah.

00:04:16.000 We're going to be playing a couple of sound effects on this one.

00:04:18.000 We're happy to have you, man.

00:04:19.000 I'm excited to have you.

00:04:20.000 I know who you are, obviously, because I'm an avid Overwatch player. 0.98

00:04:23.000 Fresh plays too, but he sucks. 0.98

00:04:25.000 League of Legends. 1.00

00:04:26.000 Yeah, yeah, League of Legends sucks. 0.94

00:04:27.000 I said you were Diamond. 0.94

00:04:27.000 That's not that bad. 0.94

00:04:30.000 Tell me.

00:04:31.000 But for those that might not know who you are, man, can you introduce yourself to the people?

00:04:34.000 Because you got a pretty sizable YouTube channel as well, over 100k on there.

00:04:36.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:04:37.000 I used to be a professional gamer.

00:04:38.000 I played for over two decades, playing video games for over two decades.

00:04:44.000 Professionally for around a decade, semi-professionally also around a decade, semi-professionally and professionally after that.

00:04:50.000 Now I have my own YouTube channel.

00:04:51.000 I quit professional gaming.

00:04:53.000 Can explain later why.

00:04:55.000 And that's pretty much it.

00:04:57.000 I have my YouTube.

00:04:57.000 I have my stream.

00:04:58.000 I don't stream that often.

00:04:59.000 I don't like to be called a streamer.

00:05:01.000 I think it gets better up for the right reasons.

00:05:04.000 Yeah.

00:05:05.000 Especially online for people that actually walk outside.

00:05:09.000 Yeah, that's pretty much it.

00:05:11.000 So, how'd you get into it?

00:05:14.000 Obviously, everyone has their origin story.

00:05:16.000 For me, for example, I got my first Nintendo Entertainment System and I played and then I was like, man, this game is hard.

00:05:23.000 It was like nine different worlds of trying to beat the same goddamn Bowser and rescue this thought that keeps getting kidnapped, Princess.

00:05:29.000 How'd you get your start with gaming? 0.98

00:05:32.000 Well, I have an older brother, seven years older than me.

00:05:35.000 He used to play some video games like the old school.

00:05:37.000 I used to sit behind, just watch, and I always were like, can I play, can I play?

00:05:41.000 He always said no.

00:05:42.000 Until one day, you know, I just took on the PC when he wasn't home, and since then I've been hooked.

00:05:46.000 So PC gaming, so were you ever a console guy?

00:05:48.000 We used to have back at home, I remember like vivid memories, PlayStation 1.

00:05:53.000 I remember the first game that I ever played on PlayStation was James Bond.

00:05:56.000 Like we're talking 20, like over 20 years ago. 0.96

00:05:59.000 Holy crap.

00:05:59.000 Yeah, but since then, I never touch controls.

00:06:01.000 If you give me a mouse and a keyboard, I can work my magic.

00:06:03.000 See, back in the day, we had Golden...

00:06:05.000 Yeah, GoldenEye was a 64, but what was the PlayStation version called?

00:06:08.000 I never played it.

00:06:09.000 Someone in the chat, let us know what the GoldenEye equivalent was on PlayStation.

00:06:13.000 It wasn't as good, though, as GoldenEye.

00:06:16.000 Well, GoldenEye is going to go down in history.

00:06:17.000 Yeah.

00:06:17.000 But I remember that, like, when the PlayStation N64 had their wars and everything, like, on the PlayStation side, you had WWF SmackDown, and then on the N64 side, you had, like, No Mercy.

00:06:30.000 So it would be, like, the same thing but different brands, I guess.

00:06:32.000 I know the issue was with the PlayStation multiplayer was terrible.

00:06:35.000 Tomorrow Never Dies, yes!

00:06:37.000 Is it Tomorrow Never Dies?

00:06:38.000 Yes!

00:06:38.000 Okay, someone in the chat said it.

00:06:39.000 See, I knew they were doing it.

00:06:40.000 See, I don't even know, man.

00:06:41.000 Yeah.

00:06:42.000 We spent summers playing that late night, like just smashing it out on Smash Brothers and then playing Overwatch.

00:06:46.000 It was crazy.

00:06:47.000 You know, this is a N64 or PlayStation.

00:06:50.000 What do you think was a better console?

00:06:52.000 64, bro!

00:06:53.000 PlayStation.

00:06:54.000 It's tough, bro, because PlayStation did have more hits.

00:06:57.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:06:58.000 Are we forgetting what brought people together in one room?

00:07:01.000 Big pause.

00:07:02.000 64.

00:07:03.000 Yeah, because you could play it four players, yeah.

00:07:04.000 Guess what PlayStation couldn't do?

00:07:06.000 They couldn't do that.

00:07:06.000 No, you could.

00:07:07.000 There was an adapter for it.

00:07:08.000 Yeah, but adapter, you had to do too much work.

00:07:10.000 It wasn't worth it, bro.

00:07:11.000 I'm telling you.

00:07:12.000 Mario Party, Mario Kart, Smash Brothers.

00:07:15.000 Yeah, no, of course, of course.

00:07:16.000 I mean, there were good quality games on N64, but I would say PlayStation had just simply had more hits.

00:07:22.000 It did, but did it really hit though?

00:07:24.000 Bro.

00:07:25.000 Just saying. 1.00

00:07:25.000 Give this guy another fucking thing, man. 1.00

00:07:27.000 I'm just saying, bro. 1.00

00:07:28.000 I'm just saying things before my time.

00:07:29.000 I don't know.

00:07:30.000 I never played it.

00:07:30.000 I had the N64. I never had that.

00:07:32.000 Really?

00:07:32.000 I never had that.

00:07:33.000 N64 did always have the best party games.

00:07:35.000 The oldest thing I remember is Game Boy.

00:07:44.000 I remember having the old Game Boy, the big one, and then I got a Game Boy Color, and I played Pokemon.

00:07:50.000 What was your favorite version?

00:07:51.000 Red, yellow?

00:07:52.000 Red all day.

00:07:53.000 I feel like guys that were trying to be cheesy got yellow.

00:07:55.000 Because they were like, oh, I got Pikachu.

00:07:57.000 Alright, nigga. 1.00

00:07:57.000 Pikachu's in the game already. 1.00

00:07:58.000 But hold on, hold on.

00:08:00.000 You can teach that Pikachu how to surf.

00:08:03.000 And he still died!

00:08:05.000 Not mine, man.

00:08:06.000 Mine was good, man.

00:08:07.000 Earthquake and it's gone.

00:08:09.000 Alright.

00:08:11.000 Did you play Pokemon as well?

00:08:13.000 Yeah, but when I was young, I don't even remember that much.

00:08:15.000 You don't remember?

00:08:16.000 Yeah, I was like four or five.

00:08:17.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:08:17.000 You're a little bit younger than us.

00:08:18.000 Because you're how old?

00:08:19.000 About to be 27.

00:08:20.000 27, okay.

00:08:21.000 Young buck.

00:08:22.000 Before his time.

00:08:24.000 So, what's the first game you played online?

00:08:27.000 Unreal Tournament, 99.

00:08:30.000 That's the first one. 0.98

00:08:31.000 Damn, this is taking us way back. 0.98

00:08:33.000 Yeah, that's before you're... 0.99

00:08:35.000 Okay, all right.

00:08:36.000 For my time, I know.

00:08:37.000 Yeah, so, okay.

00:08:38.000 So, Unreal Tournament, and now it's a PC game.

00:08:40.000 So, were you mostly, like, a PC gamer?

00:08:42.000 Like, you played console, dabbled here and there, but... 0.98

00:08:44.000 Look, if you give me a controller, I suck. 0.87

00:08:46.000 Like, I am worse than the average if you give me a controller. 0.95

00:08:49.000 Put me on Overwatch in control, I won't be able to even hit, like, diamond.

00:08:52.000 But always PC. That's the only thing we had.

00:08:55.000 I think PlayStation was just too expensive back in the day.

00:08:57.000 I mean...

00:08:57.000 Yeah.

00:08:58.000 You know, the thing with PC gaming is that it was always, like, more affordable to get in because consoles were just, like, so expensive.

00:09:06.000 And I used to just make fun of PC gamers.

00:09:07.000 Like, PC gaming is lame.

00:09:08.000 But now, it's like, PC gaming is where it's at.

00:09:11.000 It's the master race, bro. 0.99

00:09:12.000 Like, if you're over here still playing with controllers, like, what are you doing?

00:09:15.000 And I kind of made that shift, and I switched over to PC as well a couple months ago.

00:09:19.000 Yeah.

00:09:19.000 Because I, like, um...

00:09:20.000 And I guess for my...

00:09:21.000 For those of you guys that might be wondering.

00:09:23.000 Like, I started playing, um...

00:09:25.000 I played console, right?

00:09:26.000 And then I got on PC and I started playing Overwatch, but I played with a controller. 0.98

00:09:30.000 Stupidest thing ever, because there's no aim assist. 0.94

00:09:31.000 There's no aim assist and you're using a controller. 1.00

00:09:33.000 It's like you're double handicapping yourself for no reason.

00:09:35.000 So I was like, and I realized if I want to actually climb and get back into the Diamonds and Masters or whatever, I got to play with a mouse and key and it took me a few months.

00:09:42.000 But I figured out, mouse and key is the way to go.

00:09:44.000 I think for the audience, we need to put some foundation here.

00:09:46.000 We were gamers before we started streaming.

00:09:48.000 Oh, yeah.

00:09:49.000 Because people say, oh, you guys play video games?

00:09:51.000 Bro, we were nerds before we even got on the internet.

00:09:54.000 It's just what it was, bro.

00:09:55.000 Back in the day.

00:09:56.000 Favorite game of all time.

00:09:57.000 What do you think?

00:09:57.000 Ooh.

00:09:59.000 I need five seconds to come.

00:10:01.000 Yeah, I know this might...

00:10:03.000 You go first.

00:10:04.000 I'm going to say mine.

00:10:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:10:05.000 And then awkward.

00:10:06.000 You don't know what it is.

00:10:09.000 Super...

00:10:09.000 Just kidding.

00:10:10.000 Legend of Zelda.

00:10:11.000 Which one?

00:10:12.000 All.

00:10:14.000 Come on, man.

00:10:14.000 You got to pick one, bro.

00:10:15.000 Okay, if you're going to take...

00:10:16.000 Okay, awkward in a time.

00:10:17.000 Ocarina of Time?

00:10:18.000 Yeah.

00:10:18.000 Ocarina of Time is one of my favorites as well.

00:10:20.000 Shut up, mom. 1.00

00:10:21.000 God damn it, man. 1.00

00:10:22.000 You gotta kill the fucking vibe, man. 1.00

00:10:24.000 What is that, Sarah's song, probably? 1.00

00:10:26.000 That was Ocarina of Time.

00:10:27.000 Yeah, that was Ocarina of Time.

00:10:28.000 Yeah, Ocarina of Time. 0.60

00:10:30.000 That's when you're in the Kirill Forest or some shit like that?

00:10:33.000 Yeah. 0.52

00:10:34.000 Kiriko Forest?

00:10:34.000 At the very beginning.

00:10:35.000 Yeah.

00:10:38.000 I'm just like in my head. 1.00

00:10:39.000 Now I got that fucking thing stuck in my head. 0.99

00:10:42.000 Yeah, Ocarina of Time. 1.00

00:10:43.000 Definitely.

00:10:44.000 What else?

00:10:45.000 By the way, chat, put your favorite game in the actual comments as well.

00:10:48.000 I want to see what you guys are saying here.

00:10:49.000 Overwatch 1.

00:10:49.000 I prefer the 6 vs.

00:10:51.000 6, even though I know there's a fucking hot debate on that. 0.92

00:10:53.000 We could talk about that too. 0.72

00:10:55.000 All the Overwatch YouTubers, that's all they do is argue about 5 vs.

00:10:59.000 5 vs.

00:10:59.000 6 vs.

00:10:59.000 6.

00:11:00.000 I like the 6 vs. 0.99

00:11:01.000 6 better, but I understand why they did it.

00:11:04.000 What else?

00:11:05.000 Are we talking online games?

00:11:06.000 Or you mean like console games?

00:11:07.000 I'm talking about games of all time.

00:11:09.000 Okay.

00:11:09.000 Top of all time.

00:11:12.000 I mean, Smash Brothers, you know, Legend of Zelda.

00:11:15.000 I got it.

00:11:16.000 Oh, Star Fox Adventures.

00:11:18.000 That one.

00:11:19.000 You ever play that?

00:11:19.000 No, never.

00:11:20.000 Never.

00:11:21.000 Star Fox Adventures?

00:11:22.000 It's back in the day. 0.64

00:11:23.000 What the hell?

00:11:23.000 It was one of the best games they made for Nintendo.

00:11:26.000 I'm telling you, bro.

00:11:26.000 Adventure.

00:11:27.000 Star Fox 64 was good, but I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

00:11:29.000 Remember, with Adventures, you would get out of your cockpit and watch you walk around with a staff, with a fox.

00:11:35.000 That's lame.

00:11:36.000 But if it ain't in the ship, bro, it's not real.

00:11:37.000 Okay, you can get in the ship after, but you're mainly on land.

00:11:40.000 The ship is the real ninjas, man.

00:11:42.000 Uh, what else?

00:11:43.000 I'm trying to think here.

00:11:44.000 Do a barrel! 1.00

00:11:45.000 Remember that shit? 1.00

00:11:46.000 What? 1.00

00:11:47.000 Do you remember, like, the fucking guy? 1.00

00:11:49.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! 1.00

00:11:50.000 Do a barrel! 0.91

00:11:51.000 Yeah, do a barrel! 0.99

00:11:52.000 Was it Skippy?

00:11:52.000 No, who was that?

00:11:53.000 Uh, it's the fucking horse. 0.99

00:11:55.000 Not the... 1.00

00:11:55.000 I don't know, he looks like a... 1.00

00:11:56.000 I don't know what the fuck he is. 1.00

00:11:58.000 Maybe a donkey or some shit. 1.00

00:11:59.000 Skippy is a stupid frog. 1.00

00:12:00.000 It's like a chick. 1.00

00:12:03.000 Oh! 0.60

00:12:04.000 Watch out, guys! 1.00

00:12:05.000 Yeah, fuck that shit. 1.00

00:12:06.000 What about you? 1.00

00:12:07.000 Okay, now you got time.

00:12:08.000 The reason why it took me so long to give, because there's two main ones.

00:12:11.000 One is Counter-Strike 1.6, probably my favorite.

00:12:14.000 The first one that I went semi-pro in.

00:12:16.000 People still play that today, right?

00:12:17.000 Yeah, but not a lot.

00:12:19.000 Everybody switched to Counter-Strike 2.

00:12:20.000 Okay.

00:12:21.000 And guns, but most people probably know what that game is. 0.98

00:12:24.000 It used to be popular in Korea and Asia.

00:12:27.000 It's a very mechanical game.

00:12:29.000 It's aim and movement.

00:12:31.000 It probably has like 150 APM. You just spam the buttons, everything.

00:12:35.000 You just spam everything.

00:12:36.000 Just click, click, click, click.

00:12:37.000 It looks like you're breaking your keyboard.

00:12:39.000 But that game is incredible.

00:12:41.000 Multiplayer.

00:12:42.000 So wait, you said Counter-Strike 1.5 and then what was the other one?

00:12:46.000 1.6.

00:12:47.000 1.6.

00:12:48.000 Okay, and then what was the other one?

00:12:48.000 Guns the Duel, it's called.

00:12:49.000 Guns the Duel.

00:12:50.000 Okay.

00:12:50.000 I've never heard of it.

00:12:51.000 Yeah, I've never heard of it.

00:12:52.000 These are PC games.

00:12:53.000 What else?

00:12:54.000 Oh, Halo 2 was one of my favorites as well.

00:12:56.000 I played that at semi-pro level.

00:12:57.000 Never played, but I heard it was really good.

00:12:59.000 Favorite anime?

00:13:00.000 Top three.

00:13:02.000 Attack on Titan, for sure.

00:13:03.000 Okay, AOT? Yeah, and Jujutsu Kaisen.

00:13:06.000 Okay, okay.

00:13:09.000 Probably Hunter x Hunter, up there.

00:13:11.000 Yeah, probably up there.

00:13:12.000 Okay.

00:13:13.000 For me, it was Dragon Ball Z, 100%. 1.00

00:13:15.000 Dragon Ball Z, Super is good too, as much as people give shit. 1.00

00:13:21.000 GT is trash. 1.00

00:13:23.000 What else? 1.00

00:13:25.000 Damn. 0.99

00:13:26.000 I liked Case Closed. 0.99

00:13:28.000 He made fun of me for that one, but I liked Case Closed a lot.

00:13:31.000 Okay.

00:13:32.000 The worst one, though, Ronin Warriors. 0.99

00:13:34.000 Trash! 1.00

00:13:34.000 What the fuck, man? 1.00

00:13:35.000 They didn't watch that one. 1.00

00:13:36.000 Terrible, bro.

00:13:37.000 Don't waste your time.

00:13:37.000 Ronin Warriors was terrible.

00:13:39.000 Is that an anime?

00:13:39.000 Yeah, it was anime, yeah.

00:13:40.000 I didn't know that one.

00:13:41.000 Terrible. 1.00

00:13:41.000 I remember they put that shit on, like, Toonami, and I was like, what is this trash? 1.00

00:13:44.000 Get this out of here. 1.00

00:13:44.000 They did, like, one season, never again. 1.00

00:13:46.000 Samurai X, when we were kids, was lit.

00:13:48.000 I never watched Samurai X. It was known in the Japanese version of Ronin Kenshin, but it's Summer X for us.

00:13:53.000 I also liked Yu-Gi-Oh!

00:13:55.000 I liked Yu-Gi-Oh!

00:13:56.000 And then I think Pokemon was good.

00:13:58.000 But here's the thing.

00:13:59.000 The games were always better than the show.

00:14:01.000 100%.

00:14:01.000 That's one of the rare situations where the game was actually superior.

00:14:05.000 What was your sixth Pokemon?

00:14:08.000 My sixth one?

00:14:09.000 Your sixth.

00:14:09.000 What was your stack?

00:14:10.000 What was your team?

00:14:11.000 Oh man.

00:14:12.000 Going back in time now.

00:14:14.000 Wait, are we talking like Game Boy or Nintendo?

00:14:16.000 It's the same thing.

00:14:18.000 Nintendo was battle tournaments.

00:14:20.000 Game Boy was like that actual adventure.

00:14:22.000 No, no, no.

00:14:23.000 Like your team.

00:14:23.000 Like if you were going to fight somebody.

00:14:25.000 You mean Elite Four?

00:14:26.000 Sorry, Elite Six.

00:14:27.000 What was the Elite Four?

00:14:28.000 But like who would you... 1.00

00:14:29.000 It's the same team, damn! 0.98

00:14:31.000 So for me, I had Charizard, Dragonite, I had Needle King with Earthquake, I had Pidgeot, because that was my friend from back in the day, you know? 0.98

00:14:46.000 And then I had either Articuno, or I had like Zapdos. 0.99

00:14:51.000 Nigga, your team is trash! 1.00

00:14:52.000 It worked, bro! 1.00

00:14:53.000 What the fuck? 1.00

00:14:54.000 I won! 1.00

00:14:54.000 You talking shit about me with the Serving Pikachu? 1.00

00:14:56.000 Bro, that shit was trash. 1.00

00:14:57.000 Earthquit, you're dead. 1.00

00:14:58.000 Articuno was fired. 0.99

00:14:59.000 Yeah, but here's the thing.

00:15:00.000 The Pikachu is faster, and he has more speed, so he gets the first attack. 1.00

00:15:04.000 I just do fucking Serving, you're dead, stupid. 1.00

00:15:07.000 With who? 1.00

00:15:08.000 With the Serving Pikachu.

00:15:09.000 No, no, who?

00:15:10.000 Hold on.

00:15:10.000 And I'd evolve him into a Raichu.

00:15:12.000 Who's he fighting?

00:15:12.000 Huh?

00:15:12.000 Who's he fighting?

00:15:13.000 Your Nidoking. 0.74

00:15:16.000 Okay.

00:15:16.000 Yeah.

00:15:17.000 That's fair.

00:15:18.000 Yeah, bro. 1.00

00:15:18.000 Like, what the fuck? 1.00

00:15:19.000 He's getting first attack. 1.00

00:15:20.000 And then I had a Mewtwo.

00:15:22.000 A Mew.

00:15:23.000 Charizard.

00:15:24.000 Blastoise.

00:15:26.000 Oh, I didn't even include...

00:15:27.000 Venusaur.

00:15:27.000 And then either I'd switch...

00:15:29.000 I'd have the Servant Pikachu or I'd have a Zapdos.

00:15:30.000 One of the two.

00:15:32.000 Zapdos was OP. Yeah, he was good, but your team is trash, though. 0.99

00:15:35.000 You got a bunch of bird Pokemon. 0.99

00:15:36.000 What's wrong with you?

00:15:36.000 I still won, though.

00:15:37.000 Trash. 0.98

00:15:38.000 Anyway, you guys are real nerds. 0.99

00:15:40.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.99

00:15:41.000 He's like, what the fuck? 0.99

00:15:41.000 There's a hard one for me! 0.99

00:15:43.000 I remember Alakazam with the two spoons.

00:15:48.000 Yo, Alakazam.

00:15:49.000 Yo, he was the worst, though, man.

00:15:50.000 I didn't like it, man.

00:15:53.000 Abracadabra and then Alakazam. 0.99

00:15:54.000 It was like they fucked with the names. 0.99

00:15:56.000 Abracadabra, Alakazam. 0.99

00:15:57.000 Because Abra was the first one, then... 0.99

00:15:59.000 What's his weakness?

00:16:00.000 Dark?

00:16:01.000 What was his weakness?

00:16:02.000 Ghost.

00:16:03.000 No, Alakazam was Psychic.

00:16:05.000 You're thinking of Gengar.

00:16:06.000 Gengar.

00:16:06.000 He was Ghost, Pokemon.

00:16:07.000 No, he's talking about their weakness.

00:16:08.000 No, no, the weakness.

00:16:09.000 The weakness.

00:16:10.000 What was it like, for example...

00:16:11.000 Their weakness was Ghost.

00:16:12.000 No, no, no.

00:16:13.000 Ghost was weak to Psychic.

00:16:15.000 I know that for a fact.

00:16:17.000 Use Mewtwo, use Psychic, you kill a Gengar one hit. 1.00

00:16:20.000 Damn. 1.00

00:16:21.000 Okay. 0.99

00:16:21.000 How do you remember that? 0.99

00:16:22.000 It's pathetic, I know. 1.00

00:16:23.000 I remember random shit, bro. 1.00

00:16:25.000 I can't remember that far, bro. 0.98

00:16:27.000 Like, I remember, like, there's certain things I just remember.

00:16:29.000 Like, in Halo 2, how to double shot.

00:16:30.000 RX, you know, is a glitch.

00:16:32.000 Like, you'd go, doo-doo-doo, and you'd have to spam it. 1.00

00:16:34.000 So, just random shit, man. 0.99

00:16:36.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:16:37.000 But, uh, anyway.

00:16:38.000 Uh...

00:16:39.000 Okay, so going back to you.

00:16:40.000 Okay, so your first game was, your favorites are, you said Gun, is it called Gunplay?

00:16:46.000 Guns.

00:16:46.000 And then Counter-Strike.

00:16:48.000 But you played Unreal Tournaments, your first online game.

00:16:51.000 Yeah, I'm six years old.

00:16:52.000 I played that one.

00:16:52.000 Yeah, I remember.

00:16:53.000 And you were playing it online?

00:16:55.000 I think so.

00:16:56.000 I don't know because I was so young.

00:16:59.000 I don't know if it was online or not.

00:17:00.000 My brother just put it for me.

00:17:01.000 He just clicked that and he just played.

00:17:02.000 What was your first main competitive game that you played?

00:17:05.000 Counter-Strike 1.6.

00:17:06.000 Okay.

00:17:06.000 Now, how did you get into that and how far did you make it in the competitive scene with that one?

00:17:11.000 So I played locally mostly because, you know, gaming wasn't as big before.

00:17:15.000 We used to have our own computers at home and we used to bring them like at a table like this.

00:17:20.000 We would sit in front of each other and just play as a tournament.

00:17:23.000 Wow.

00:17:24.000 Yeah, that's how it was.

00:17:25.000 And you played on land, no internet, right?

00:17:26.000 Yeah, on land.

00:17:26.000 So the connection was great.

00:17:28.000 Yeah.

00:17:28.000 Shots actually registered.

00:17:29.000 Yeah, zero ping.

00:17:30.000 Yeah.

00:17:30.000 It's great.

00:17:32.000 If you win, you would maybe win $40 or something.

00:17:35.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:17:35.000 Or like a sandwich.

00:17:36.000 I played that when I was 12.

00:17:38.000 First Lanterman, yeah, when I was 13.

00:17:41.000 And I went second place, me and my team.

00:17:44.000 We're five people.

00:17:45.000 We beat almost everyone.

00:17:46.000 All the pro players.

00:17:47.000 I was like 13. 0.99

00:17:48.000 I realized, damn, I'm good. 0.98

00:17:49.000 Everybody told me I'm good. 0.99

00:17:50.000 So I just kept going, kept playing.

00:17:51.000 And eventually I turned pro and Counter-Strike, the successors, Counter-Strike Global Offensive.

00:17:56.000 Okay, so that was the first game that you became pro.

00:17:59.000 I mean, I was still semi-pro.

00:18:01.000 I was getting into bigger tournaments, more pay.

00:18:04.000 Nothing great, yeah?

00:18:05.000 It's not like people portray online, they're winning millions.

00:18:07.000 Well, what year is this now?

00:18:09.000 We're talking like 2013, 2014.

00:18:11.000 Okay, so this is like before the real explosion of professional gaming.

00:18:14.000 What's the most you ever made back then off of winning?

00:18:19.000 Maybe $500, maybe.

00:18:21.000 My first Smash tournament, bro, I won literally $100.

00:18:25.000 That was it.

00:18:26.000 It was terrible.

00:18:26.000 Well, this is the early, see, like, there was an era, right, where, like, if you played games, right, like, what, online gaming, like, from a competitive standpoint, like, was, like, the early 2000s, maybe, where, like, you had internet connection, you could compete against people.

00:18:38.000 Then MLG kind of brought it in, where, like, that was, like, the first professional major league gaming, the first professional But after, I would say, what would you say when professional gaming really exploded?

00:18:50.000 Probably, I think with Counter-Strike, Global Offensive, and League of Legends as well was pretty big.

00:18:56.000 I think 2016, 2017 was when it grew super big.

00:18:59.000 You could make big money.

00:19:00.000 We could actually make real money.

00:19:01.000 For me, in Barbados, they didn't pay that much.

00:19:04.000 But in America, it's when the real money was coming in.

00:19:06.000 Yeah.

00:19:07.000 So you play, you said Counter-Strike is called Counter-Strike Offensive?

00:19:12.000 Global Offensive, yeah.

00:19:13.000 Global Offensive.

00:19:13.000 So you play that.

00:19:15.000 You compete at a semi-pro level.

00:19:17.000 What was it like training to get to that level?

00:19:20.000 Because I don't think people understand how much time you got to put in to even play at a semi-professional level with games that are super competitive.

00:19:25.000 Yeah, you practically have no social life.

00:19:27.000 You sit at home, play video games all day.

00:19:28.000 I wouldn't recommend doing it, but back in the day I was so hooked and I was so good and I rose up the ranks.

00:19:33.000 I started winning tournaments and just a competitive drive.

00:19:37.000 Just want to be better and better and better and that's the thing that I was really good at.

00:19:40.000 And games like that require a lot of what we call mechanical skill, right?

00:19:44.000 Can you explain to the audience real quick what mechanical skill is?

00:19:46.000 Because people might be nerding out a little bit too much here.

00:19:49.000 Yeah, mechanical skill is basically the ability to see something on the screen, react to it with your mouse and hit the right targets in the head and just moving around flawlessly around the map without falling or hitting something or hitting your teammates or anything like that.

00:20:03.000 Yeah, having very good aim, being aware, having quick reaction time.

00:20:09.000 You know...

00:20:10.000 Whatever, this is why I sound racist. 1.00

00:20:12.000 Asians are the best at this shit, man. 1.00

00:20:13.000 Like, when you look at that, like, bro, like, they go crazy. 1.00

00:20:15.000 The Koreans? 1.00

00:20:16.000 Bro, it's like...

00:20:17.000 The brightness, bro.

00:20:19.000 Their eyes are slanted.

00:20:20.000 They got advantage, bro.

00:20:22.000 I'm just saying.

00:20:23.000 Because think about it.

00:20:24.000 Think about this.

00:20:25.000 Like, the brightness is coming from the top, right?

00:20:27.000 And the back, like...

00:20:29.000 So when it's slanted like this, it's like...

00:20:30.000 They're cheating, bro.

00:20:32.000 Honestly, they're cheating, bro. 0.98

00:20:34.000 Hot Tech, I don't think Asians are the best because... 1.00

00:20:38.000 Like, just play more.

00:20:39.000 They're just, like, bigger nerds.

00:20:40.000 If I play 15 hours, they play 20.

00:20:43.000 And not only that, in, like, Korean culture, Japanese culture, like, gaming is, like, a respected thing as well.

00:20:50.000 It doesn't have the same cultural stigma that it does here in the West.

00:20:52.000 Also, to be real with you, bro, they have no social life.

00:20:56.000 Yeah.

00:20:56.000 That's the biggest thing.

00:20:57.000 But to be fair, I also didn't have social life.

00:20:58.000 They literally eat ramen and they play video games, bro.

00:21:02.000 That's unfair, man.

00:21:02.000 How you gonna beat that?

00:21:05.000 That's why, yo, I'll never forget this, bro.

00:21:07.000 I was playing Smash Brothers, bro, right?

00:21:09.000 This kid from Korea came down. 1.00

00:21:14.000 Oh, that's why it's so tight.

00:21:15.000 And literally, bro, like, I spent days, summers, man.

00:21:19.000 You don't understand, bro.

00:21:20.000 I was out sweating, like, not going on with my friends just to play this game.

00:21:25.000 I meet this kid, bro.

00:21:26.000 Mayu, I am 18 years old.

00:21:28.000 You know who he is?

00:21:29.000 10?

00:21:30.000 15.

00:21:31.000 15.

00:21:31.000 Nigga's 15, bro.

00:21:32.000 Goddamn. 1.00

00:21:32.000 Nigga pulls up, freaking glasses, dorkies. 1.00

00:21:35.000 I'm like, this nigga's a ass beat. 1.00

00:21:37.000 I'm black, nigga. 1.00

00:21:38.000 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

00:21:38.000 Nigga shit. 1.00

00:21:39.000 Nigga pulls up, bro. 1.00

00:21:41.000 I get three stars, nigga. 1.00

00:21:42.000 I say, yo, this must be fluke. 0.92

00:21:43.000 It must be cheating.

00:21:44.000 Who'd you use or who'd he use?

00:21:45.000 Bro, I had Link.

00:21:46.000 He had Pikachu.

00:21:52.000 I lose again.

00:21:53.000 And I was like, I'm done.

00:21:55.000 I'm done.

00:21:56.000 Yes!

00:21:57.000 This is not possible. 0.99

00:22:00.000 So he came from Korea and fucked you up? 1.00

00:22:01.000 Yeah, bro. 1.00

00:22:02.000 In your home country?

00:22:03.000 He had family coming into town.

00:22:04.000 Apparently they were staying there for like a week.

00:22:06.000 And tournament was going on. 1.00

00:22:07.000 He came through and then beat my ass, bro. 1.00

00:22:09.000 And left what happened. 1.00

00:22:10.000 It's all unfair, bro.

00:22:11.000 Anyhow, listen to me.

00:22:12.000 Hey, yo.

00:22:13.000 Okay.

00:22:14.000 Now you guys know why he hates Pikachu.

00:22:15.000 100% no.

00:22:16.000 And Asians. 0.98

00:22:17.000 That's why.

00:22:17.000 And Asians, too.

00:22:18.000 Well, yeah, not anymore. 1.00

00:22:22.000 China, Korea, they be fucking you up, man. 0.99

00:22:26.000 Literally, bro. 1.00

00:22:28.000 Okay, so going back.

00:22:31.000 That's what he did there.

00:22:32.000 Okay, so you were working on the mechanical skill, and then, yeah, you were putting in hours.

00:22:37.000 Talking like at least 10 hours a day.

00:22:38.000 Yeah, 10 hours a day.

00:22:39.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:40.000 That's what it takes to be competitive.

00:22:42.000 Now, do people still play that game competitively or no?

00:22:44.000 Counter-Strike?

00:22:45.000 Yeah, well, the Counter-Strike that you were playing.

00:22:48.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:22:49.000 Now there's a new version.

00:22:50.000 It's called Counter-Strike 2.

00:22:52.000 Okay.

00:22:52.000 It's one of the biggest esports in the world.

00:22:56.000 Dude, Counter-Strike is like, it's just stood the test of time, man.

00:22:59.000 That thing's been around for fucking almost like 20 years? 0.91

00:23:01.000 99. 0.98

00:23:02.000 Yeah.

00:23:03.000 Even before that, if we consider like the early Half-Life, there used to be Half-Life, Half-Life 2.

00:23:08.000 It's like, it's based off that game.

00:23:09.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:10.000 Holy shit, man. 1.00

00:23:11.000 So typically, let's say I'm playing a game and I want to become better. 0.99

00:23:16.000 How do I train to master, let's say from your experience, like an online shooting game?

00:23:21.000 How do I train, for example, 10 hours a day?

00:23:24.000 What am I doing to become better other than just playing the game?

00:23:26.000 The first thing is to have the right mentality.

00:23:29.000 It's always important.

00:23:30.000 You need to understand that the only person...

00:23:34.000 That determines if you're going to be good or bad is you.

00:23:36.000 A lot of people just go out there, blame their teammates.

00:23:39.000 They say, I lose because of this guy, I lose because of that guy, this guy has better pink, this guy is Asian. 1.00

00:23:44.000 No, man, he lost because of you.

00:23:46.000 It's a team game, but it's all individual.

00:23:49.000 I know you ain't talking. 0.99

00:23:50.000 You just complained about this Korean kid that just fucked you up. 0.99

00:23:53.000 It's one versus one. 0.99

00:23:54.000 You be getting mad at Overwatch niggas. 1.00

00:23:56.000 You sign me loose. 1.00

00:23:57.000 No, because you suck. 1.00

00:23:58.000 Hold on. 1.00

00:23:59.000 What did you just say?

00:24:00.000 It's a mindset thing.

00:24:01.000 You say it's me? 1.00

00:24:01.000 No, when I play with you, you suck. 1.00

00:24:03.000 You suck. 1.00

00:24:03.000 No, I'm talking about when I play with you, I be raging because you suck. 1.00

00:24:06.000 Dude, this guy plays Reinhardt and just fucking pins every time. 1.00

00:24:10.000 That's all I hear. 0.99

00:24:11.000 To be fair, it's the first time I'm playing this game. 0.97

00:24:13.000 No, nigga. 1.00

00:24:13.000 And as a new player, you know, you're not going to be like... 1.00

00:24:15.000 Don't try to put me on blast. 0.99

00:24:16.000 I'll fucking put you on blast. 1.00

00:24:17.000 You fucking trash, bro. 1.00

00:24:18.000 Wait a minute. 1.00

00:24:19.000 Let's play League of Legends, bro.

00:24:20.000 I don't play League!

00:24:22.000 I don't play Watch!

00:24:23.000 Yeah, you do!

00:24:23.000 No, I don't!

00:24:24.000 Yeah, you do!

00:24:24.000 I'm going to play because of you.

00:24:25.000 Yeah, but then you quit. 0.98

00:24:26.000 And it sucks, so I left. 1.00

00:24:28.000 No, you suck. 1.00

00:24:29.000 Sorry, continue. 0.99

00:24:29.000 Yeah, so where I was going with this is that you have to understand every decision you make. 0.99

00:24:32.000 You lose, it's your fault, right?

00:24:33.000 Yeah.

00:24:34.000 Sometimes you lose because of your teammates, but why would you even say it's my teammate's fault?

00:24:38.000 Why would you say it just takes the power away from you at the end of the day, right?

00:24:41.000 It takes away the responsibility of what you could have done better.

00:24:43.000 You don't think.

00:24:44.000 You just assume, oh, my teammates, and then you never improve.

00:24:47.000 There are people who play video games six, seven, ten years, and they never improve.

00:24:50.000 Like, imagine going to the gym for, like, five years and looking like the average Joe.

00:24:53.000 That's crazy.

00:24:54.000 You know?

00:24:55.000 And I teach people how to play video games better on my YouTube channel, all that stuff.

00:24:59.000 But the first thing that I teach, you need to understand, you lose, your fault.

00:25:03.000 You win because of you.

00:25:04.000 Okay.

00:25:04.000 Yeah.

00:25:05.000 Extreme accountability when it comes to gaming, which, you know, it's true.

00:25:08.000 Like, people love to blame their teammates a lot.

00:25:11.000 And I've done it before, too.

00:25:13.000 Like, I mean, I've been banned a bunch of times for it.

00:25:15.000 Done it before?

00:25:16.000 You do it now.

00:25:18.000 Not as bad.

00:25:19.000 Okay.

00:25:20.000 There you go, accountability.

00:25:21.000 Yeah, but I'd be cooking, though. 1.00

00:25:22.000 I'd be cooking, and then they'd be sucking, and I'd lose my shit. 0.99

00:25:25.000 But the point is that I think to myself, like, all right, I do got to play better. 0.99

00:25:28.000 And you're real good about that, like, letting people know, like, hey, man, if you're stuck in gold or in plat, which we're talking about Overwatch here, it's your fucking fault, which is true. 0.59

00:25:35.000 Like, you're responsive for climbing. 0.90

00:25:38.000 And if you've got to carry your team, so be it.

00:25:40.000 You just have to be that much better than everybody else.

00:25:43.000 So when you're coaching people, so the number one thing you're teaching them is mindset is to take 100% accountability.

00:25:49.000 First thing.

00:25:49.000 Like be good.

00:25:50.000 Then what's the second thing you teach them?

00:25:51.000 Second thing, well, you have to ask yourself, do you want to become really good or do you want to have a full-time job?

00:25:56.000 I teach people who are like 50 years old.

00:25:57.000 They have kids, they have families, and they're like, yeah, I just want to play with my kid, you know, just dabble with him a little bit just so we would have something to do together.

00:26:06.000 And they play for one hour a day.

00:26:07.000 So it really depends.

00:26:08.000 So if you're very limited on time, you have to put a lot of conscious effort Into the problems that you have in the game.

00:26:13.000 So let's say you lose, the first thing you have to sit for two minutes is just analyze the game.

00:26:16.000 Just be like, okay, I lost because X, Y, Z. And then you play again.

00:26:19.000 You just mindlessly cue and play and play and play.

00:26:22.000 That's the first thing.

00:26:23.000 Well, if you want to be pro, it has more training cycles.

00:26:26.000 So you would be, first hour, you warm up, you play deathmatch, you just practice mechanical skill, moving your mouse, shooting targets, you know, the moving targets.

00:26:33.000 The second thing, you probably just look at yourself play, you know, look at a video of you playing and be like, okay, and start noticing mistakes or start noticing good habits or good plays.

00:26:41.000 And then you just log into the game and try to implement the feedback that you have learned by watching yourself play.

00:26:46.000 And this goes for all FPSs?

00:26:48.000 For most FPSs, yeah.

00:26:49.000 A great thing is now you can watch literally every pro player play.

00:26:53.000 So you can just see, oh, okay, this guy does that.

00:26:55.000 I don't do that.

00:26:56.000 Let me try doing that.

00:26:57.000 You know?

00:26:57.000 It's so easy, but I don't understand why people don't do it.

00:27:00.000 Just watch somebody who is better.

00:27:01.000 And that's, like, not even a video game thing.

00:27:02.000 I used to watch so much Halo 2 footage of professional players.

00:27:06.000 For all the guys out there I'm about to show my nerdy...

00:27:08.000 I used to watch the Ogres.

00:27:08.000 I used to watch O'Walsh.

00:27:09.000 I used to watch, you know, guys like Nate or whatever.

00:27:12.000 I used to watch, like, professional players on Halo 2.

00:27:14.000 I used to watch MLG tournaments.

00:27:16.000 And I would see them pull off, like, crazy plays and positioning and all this other stuff. 0.85

00:27:20.000 Which, for shooting games, like, positioning is so goddamn important. 0.57

00:27:23.000 Using cover, all that stuff. 0.67

00:27:25.000 So, um...

00:27:26.000 Yeah, I would watch all that stuff, man.

00:27:28.000 And I think watching professional players now is way easier now because gamers actually stream now.

00:27:34.000 There's internet connections.

00:27:35.000 You can watch them on YouTube live as they're playing.

00:27:37.000 None of this existed like when I first started playing competitively.

00:27:40.000 So you would have to like...

00:27:42.000 If anything, it was like maybe pay-per-view if you could even get it, but you would have to watch it back on replay.

00:27:47.000 You can never watch it live because streaming wasn't a thing back then.

00:27:49.000 I mean, all we had was our friends just roasting us when we lost. 0.99

00:27:52.000 Like, yo, bro, you suck. 0.99

00:27:53.000 That's all we had back in the day. 1.00

00:27:55.000 So, okay, so we fast forward.

00:27:58.000 Then you got into...

00:28:00.000 Overwatch.

00:28:01.000 And that's what you're known for now.

00:28:02.000 Yeah.

00:28:02.000 Right?

00:28:02.000 One of the best players in the world at Overwatch.

00:28:05.000 You were ranked like number one Zenyatta, right?

00:28:07.000 For a bit.

00:28:08.000 Yeah.

00:28:08.000 I was ranked wonderful many, many times.

00:28:10.000 Many times.

00:28:11.000 Like over...

00:28:11.000 Like probably 15, 20.

00:28:14.000 Yeah.

00:28:14.000 My favorite hero.

00:28:15.000 Yeah.

00:28:16.000 Which for the audience...

00:28:18.000 So I guess could you give a quick little breakdown of what Overwatch is and how it works?

00:28:22.000 Yeah.

00:28:23.000 Real quick for the audience.

00:28:23.000 It's just a team shooter.

00:28:25.000 It's FPS games combined with MOBA aspects.

00:28:27.000 So basically you choose a character that has a bunch of abilities.

00:28:29.000 Five on five.

00:28:30.000 So you have teammates.

00:28:31.000 You guys have a bunch of unique abilities and things you're supposed to do together.

00:28:34.000 And there's a bunch of objectives you have to do around the map.

00:28:37.000 You do them, you win.

00:28:38.000 Different classes.

00:28:39.000 You got damage heroes, DPS, damage per second.

00:28:41.000 Then you got support.

00:28:43.000 I almost said healer.

00:28:44.000 It's important, which they heal, but they can also dish out damage and have abilities that might accentuate or mitigate certain things.

00:28:52.000 Then you've got tank players who are on the front lines, and they're the ones that are leading the charge.

00:28:58.000 And then there's different heroes.

00:28:59.000 How many heroes are there now?

00:29:00.000 40?

00:29:02.000 Something like that, yeah.

00:29:03.000 Yeah, like 40-something heroes.

00:29:04.000 And Zenyatta is a support, but he can deal out a lot of damage.

00:29:08.000 Let's pull out a picture of him real quick.

00:29:10.000 So how did you get into Overwatch, and how did you become as good as you are?

00:29:17.000 Because I have so much experience with other games, FPS games, my friends told me you should download the game Overwatch, Overwatch.

00:29:22.000 I played it.

00:29:23.000 Because you had the good mechanical skill for playing Counter-Strike.

00:29:25.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:29:25.000 So I came to the game, my friends invited me.

00:29:27.000 They're all silver, gold, very low rank, I mean, relatively.

00:29:30.000 I played with them, and in like a week, I surpassed them tremendously.

00:29:33.000 And the first month of Overwatch, I hit top 500.

00:29:36.000 Wow.

00:29:36.000 Which is like the top 500 best players in the region.

00:29:39.000 Yeah.

00:29:39.000 In a month.

00:29:40.000 Very difficult to do.

00:29:41.000 Yeah.

00:29:41.000 Very difficult.

00:29:41.000 Did you do it with Zen?

00:29:43.000 I play a bunch of heroes because I was so new, I didn't know, like I played Animos.

00:29:46.000 This is Overwatch 1.

00:29:48.000 Yeah, back in the day.

00:29:48.000 Okay, Overwatch 1.

00:29:49.000 Yeah, talking like 2017.

00:29:50.000 Yeah.

00:29:51.000 Yeah, so because I rose up in the leaderboard, somebody messaged me, said, hey, I need a player for my team, can you join?

00:29:57.000 We will offer you a paid position.

00:29:58.000 I'm like, god damn, I played this game for a month, if you want to make me a pro, I'm like, sure. 0.90

00:30:02.000 And then I played in a bunch of tournaments, in the country, outside the country, mostly international, like World Cup and stuff, World Cup, and just different lands across... 0.95

00:30:12.000 Did you mostly play support?

00:30:14.000 Yeah.

00:30:14.000 They wanted me on support.

00:30:16.000 By the way, I didn't play support back in the day.

00:30:18.000 They're like, yeah, you're really high rank, we want you to be support, can you try it? 0.75

00:30:22.000 I'm like, god damn, I don't know, but let me try.

00:30:24.000 Oh, because Overwatch 1 was open queue. 0.97

00:30:27.000 Who did you hit for top 500 playing?

00:30:29.000 Mostly Soldier.

00:30:31.000 Really?

00:30:31.000 Mostly Soldier, yeah.

00:30:32.000 Because natural transition from Counter-Strike.

00:30:34.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:30:34.000 Because he's a hitscan hero.

00:30:35.000 And you can run and everything else like that.

00:30:37.000 So he's a very...

00:30:38.000 Like, if you play Call of Duty, he's the character that you use.

00:30:40.000 I want to go back for a second.

00:30:42.000 Please.

00:30:42.000 Because people don't understand Overwatch.

00:30:45.000 But I would like to make a real-life analogy, right?

00:30:47.000 About improving the mindset and stuff.

00:30:49.000 So, for example, you know, I... Realize that just playing video games and improving at them, just like any other skill in the world, right?

00:30:55.000 I got into boxing like two years ago, something like that.

00:30:59.000 And I was like, you know, I learned how to play better by watching other people and just being self-accountable and just like saying, it's my fault, what can I do better?

00:31:05.000 And just learn from a lot of people.

00:31:07.000 So boxing, what did I do?

00:31:08.000 First thing I pull up, pro fights, amateur fights.

00:31:11.000 Oh, what does he do that I don't?

00:31:12.000 Oh, he moves like this, he slips like this.

00:31:14.000 Ah, he's doing that combo.

00:31:15.000 I'm like, okay, let me try it.

00:31:16.000 Wasn't that good?

00:31:18.000 Again, on repeat.

00:31:19.000 Wasn't that good?

00:31:19.000 Why?

00:31:20.000 Sat there.

00:31:20.000 Why?

00:31:20.000 Why did he get punched in the face?

00:31:22.000 I'm like, okay, because I didn't sleep.

00:31:23.000 Okay, let me try it again.

00:31:24.000 And again, again, until eventually, if you're persistent enough and you're self-economic enough, you'll be able to achieve anything you want to achieve.

00:31:29.000 You'll become better naturally.

00:31:30.000 But most people are like, ah, I get punched in the face because you got lucky.

00:31:34.000 No, you didn't get lucky. 1.00

00:31:34.000 You suck. 1.00

00:31:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:31:36.000 Yeah, and I think, and that's great that you were able to take that mindset and adapt it into something else, which I want to talk about next here because you're real big on Going outside, going to the gym and training, not being like a typical stupid gamer that's fat and being a bum, which is another thing I wanted to talk to you about, 0.92

00:31:52.000 which a lot of people can learn from.

00:31:54.000 So going back to the Overwatch, so you start playing internationally and then what?

00:32:01.000 Well, I started playing internationally, and to be honest, in Overwatch specifically, professionally, to be honest, the money's not that good.

00:32:06.000 Like, it's okay, but you can't really live off of that, yeah?

00:32:08.000 Unless you're really, like, consistently winning all the tournaments.

00:32:12.000 But even then, I started thinking, you know, I'm like 23, 24, like, what's next?

00:32:16.000 You know, eventually there's going to be a younger version of me, somebody who's better, so what will I do?

00:32:22.000 I'm going to be like 27, 28, and then no real-life skills?

00:32:25.000 That's what most people don't understand.

00:32:27.000 You do pro gaming, right?

00:32:29.000 You start doing pro gaming and eventually you get kicked out of the team, you're not good enough, and then you have nothing.

00:32:35.000 You are a star and then you lose everything.

00:32:40.000 So you are on top of the world when you're gaming.

00:32:42.000 Everybody who's a gamer knows you.

00:32:44.000 And all of a sudden you just go back to the most regular jobs ever and you're nobody.

00:32:47.000 I think it takes a lot of toll mentally, but people don't prepare for it.

00:32:51.000 Yeah.

00:32:51.000 And you've seen guys fall from grace like that in Overwatch world, right?

00:32:54.000 Yeah.

00:32:55.000 That's scary because imagine your whole life is spent 10 hours a day gaming at a certain game.

00:32:59.000 You become one of the best in the world.

00:33:00.000 Well, a big one.

00:33:01.000 Like, look at XQC. Like, he fucking was a pro gamer. 0.99

00:33:05.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:33:05.000 Right? 0.99

00:33:05.000 He was a Winston-Man. 0.99

00:33:07.000 He became famous playing Overwatch. 0.99

00:33:10.000 What the fuck is he doing? 1.00

00:33:11.000 He's doing a bunch of weird shit now. 1.00

00:33:13.000 I don't even know. 0.98

00:33:14.000 I don't know. 0.98

00:33:14.000 I don't fucking know. 0.98

00:33:15.000 I'm sure he makes money though. 0.97

00:33:16.000 Yeah, he does.

00:33:17.000 He does.

00:33:18.000 He does.

00:33:18.000 But it's like, just a weirdo, man.

00:33:20.000 It takes a toll on you.

00:33:22.000 I don't know.

00:33:23.000 Anyway.

00:33:23.000 Sure, but it was a good financial decision.

00:33:25.000 I'll give him that.

00:33:26.000 When he was playing pro, he built his stream.

00:33:28.000 He eventually understood, okay, I have a big stream.

00:33:29.000 I make a lot of money.

00:33:30.000 I don't need pro play.

00:33:31.000 And he was streaming, yeah.

00:33:32.000 He did it well where he was a pro gamer, but then when he got...

00:33:36.000 Did he get released?

00:33:37.000 What ended up happening to him?

00:33:40.000 It got a bunch of trouble for saying some not really, like they think it was racist.

00:33:44.000 It was not really racist.

00:33:45.000 Blizzard does a company like that.

00:33:47.000 Yeah, they're super blizzing.

00:33:48.000 Yeah, they're super woke Blizzard, by the way.

00:33:52.000 Wait, did you see your account?

00:33:55.000 Why do I get banned so much?

00:33:56.000 Oh yeah.

00:33:57.000 Yeah, I get banned all the time, but anyway, yeah.

00:34:00.000 It's okay, I got multiple accounts.

00:34:02.000 How dare you! 0.99

00:34:03.000 Allegedly, allegedly.

00:34:05.000 Yeah, allegedly, sorry.

00:34:05.000 Maybe Bill's account, multiple accounts.

00:34:07.000 I've been using everybody's accounts.

00:34:08.000 You can't use mine, though.

00:34:09.000 You can't use mine.

00:34:10.000 Well, I won't start using this since you won't play no more.

00:34:13.000 Allegedly.

00:34:14.000 So, okay, so he said something allegedly racist, and then they released him, whatever.

00:34:17.000 But yeah, he built up a streaming thing, which, again, that's when streaming really started to take off, like, you know, 2016, 2017, etc.

00:34:23.000 So he got lucky.

00:34:24.000 But I'm sure you've seen, like, other players, like, you know, because he's not a pro gamer no more, excuse me.

00:34:29.000 Nobody knows him from, people don't even know, like, that's how he became big in the first place, was from playing Overwatch 1.

00:34:34.000 But, to be honest, he wasn't that good.

00:34:35.000 Yeah.

00:34:35.000 Wasn't?

00:34:36.000 Yeah, well, Winston sucks. 1.00

00:34:37.000 Yeah. 0.96

00:34:37.000 Can I add though, gaming itself, the concept of becoming a pro gamer, I think is great for the idea, but longevity, it is not sustainable at all. 0.96

00:34:47.000 Because think about this, if you're going to have the pro game ability to learn the game, master the game, you're going to grow older.

00:34:56.000 And like you just said earlier, there's kids from Korea, 15 years old, come to the game and are spending 20 hours learning how to play this game.

00:35:04.000 How do you beat that?

00:35:05.000 You can't.

00:35:06.000 So either you move smart and get into streaming, like what?

00:35:09.000 Ask what you did?

00:35:10.000 Or figure yourself out and work at a grocery store. 1.00

00:35:12.000 It sucks, bro. 0.99

00:35:13.000 Or a coach like you've done, which we'll talk about that as well. 0.99

00:35:16.000 Yeah, I decided to make money and I just monetized.

00:35:19.000 Not luck.

00:35:20.000 I mean, just realized what is missing on the market.

00:35:22.000 Decided to be a coach, teach people how to be better.

00:35:24.000 And yeah, that works out really well.

00:35:26.000 Yeah.

00:35:27.000 Which, by the way, guys, we're going to have a Zoom call after this, so if you want to go ahead and make money from gaming and be able to actually monetize a hobby of yours, we're going to...

00:35:36.000 And then put the money into real estate right after, or something like that.

00:35:38.000 Yeah, and then you put the money in.

00:35:40.000 Okay, so sorry.

00:35:41.000 Okay, so you started competing at these tournaments.

00:35:43.000 You're playing Overwatch 1 at a high level.

00:35:46.000 You're competing against, you know, obviously...

00:35:48.000 Because back then, it was Overwatch League, wasn't it?

00:35:50.000 Yeah, it was Overwatch League.

00:35:51.000 Yeah, I was not a part of the Overwatch League.

00:35:52.000 I was trying out for some teams.

00:35:54.000 I do have...

00:35:55.000 There was one team that was interested after Overwatch League started falling off.

00:36:00.000 There was a few teams that were interested in trying me out.

00:36:03.000 But I said no because I realized that even if I'm the Overwatch League, I still don't make enough money as much as I want to.

00:36:08.000 And it's like, I don't really want to.

00:36:10.000 Like, I'm at that point, I'm like, 24, I have social life, you know, I date a lot sometimes.

00:36:15.000 Also, just out to your point, tournaments.

00:36:17.000 You might win one tournament or two, but to win them all is almost impossible.

00:36:21.000 Well, it's very competitive, bro.

00:36:22.000 Exactly, exactly.

00:36:22.000 And that's how you get kicked as well.

00:36:24.000 You know what's funny?

00:36:25.000 Tournaments pay maybe like, what, 30 to 100k maybe, around there?

00:36:28.000 Yeah, it depends on what tournament.

00:36:29.000 I think Overwatch League was paying more than that.

00:36:31.000 No, Overwatch League specifically, the minimum contract was 50k a year.

00:36:34.000 That's the minimum contract.

00:36:36.000 But most people would make, let's say, between 50 to 100, I would say.

00:36:41.000 That's not bad.

00:36:42.000 It's not bad.

00:36:42.000 But hold on.

00:36:43.000 But it's not great.

00:36:44.000 Somebody is gaining skills in real life to either learn to be a doctor or a professor, whatever that may be.

00:36:52.000 That's constant money.

00:36:53.000 You're learning to game for one tournament that you might win 30, 50K. No, but they're on contract, though.

00:36:59.000 For the whole year?

00:37:00.000 Yeah, they're on contract getting a paid salary.

00:37:02.000 It's like NBA games.

00:37:04.000 Now remember, they had city teams. 0.99

00:37:07.000 It was like the Dallas Fuel and shit. 0.97

00:37:09.000 They had legitimate city-based teams. 0.99

00:37:11.000 So they paid monthly?

00:37:13.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:37:13.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

00:37:15.000 It's Smash didn't pay monthly. 1.00

00:37:16.000 It was huge.

00:37:17.000 Most matches, it's kind of like a nuanced game, bro.

00:37:20.000 Yeah, you just get paid for the tournament.

00:37:21.000 Yeah, like, yeah, you got to go to tournaments to make money.

00:37:24.000 But, like, Overwatch, they had, like, a legit league and everything.

00:37:26.000 I remember, like, there were teams and everything.

00:37:27.000 And so most guys were getting paid, like, 50 to 100.

00:37:30.000 What about, like, the stars?

00:37:31.000 Like, the guys that were, like, very good.

00:37:34.000 It depends, because one of the first things I would probably tell, when you're streaming, for example, like XQC, and a lot of people watch you and a lot of people are fans of yours, obviously you can negotiate your contract to be higher.

00:37:44.000 So if you're worth like 50k...

00:37:45.000 Did he make it on a pro team?

00:37:47.000 Again, what was the question?

00:37:48.000 Did XQC make it on a pro team?

00:37:50.000 Yeah, he was in the Overwatch League.

00:37:52.000 Which team did you play for?

00:37:53.000 I think Dallas, pretty sure.

00:37:54.000 Okay, alright.

00:37:55.000 Pretty sure. 0.99

00:37:56.000 They sucked, but... 1.00

00:37:57.000 They were pretty trash. 1.00

00:38:00.000 But sorry, go ahead. 0.97

00:38:01.000 Yeah, so what I'm saying is that you can negotiate your contract if you have a lot of fan base, which most people don't because they're gamers.

00:38:07.000 Because it brings viewers in.

00:38:08.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:38:09.000 I mean, most gamers don't really talk to anybody, not online, not in interviews, so they can't connect with the people.

00:38:13.000 But those who do, they can negotiate contracts.

00:38:15.000 There are people with billions of dollars contracts.

00:38:17.000 We're talking like 2Ms, 3Ms. 0.99

00:38:19.000 Really?

00:38:19.000 Annually, yeah.

00:38:20.000 I believe it.

00:38:20.000 Because they have a big audience and they're able to bring those eyeballs over to watch them play pro.

00:38:24.000 So the Overwatch League ended up tanking.

00:38:27.000 Why did it tank like that?

00:38:29.000 Like, they just put too much money in and weren't making enough.

00:38:32.000 Like, they weren't profitable, right?

00:38:33.000 Yeah, the buyout to join Overwatch League franchise was, like, 20M. Just a buyout.

00:38:37.000 If you wanted to make a team, you know, that was, like, 20M. 20 million to get a team?

00:38:41.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:42.000 Because there were a lot of promises.

00:38:43.000 Like, I don't want to get too much into it because I don't know all the details, but I would say that the amount of money it was making compared to what it was spending is just a net loss, I believe.

00:38:52.000 Yeah.

00:38:52.000 Well, I mean, if you look at it, like, they had, like, huge fucking, like, arenas and all this other stuff and people were there and stuff, so...

00:38:59.000 Okay, and now they got like the contenders.

00:39:01.000 Can you explain like the new thing that they got going on with like contenders or whatever the hell it's called?

00:39:04.000 Yeah, I'm not really following that much pro play.

00:39:06.000 It used to be before the Overwatch League.

00:39:08.000 It's the same stuff.

00:39:09.000 You basically just have tournaments.

00:39:10.000 You can make a team and just play.

00:39:12.000 It's like nothing serious.

00:39:13.000 Like anybody.

00:39:13.000 Like me and you can make a team and just play.

00:39:15.000 Yeah, and play in the contenders league.

00:39:16.000 And then you compete in the tournament.

00:39:19.000 And then if you win, then you make money versus having salaried players.

00:39:21.000 Is that how it goes now?

00:39:22.000 Yeah.

00:39:23.000 I mean, you get salaries.

00:39:25.000 It depends if you're contracted.

00:39:26.000 Some organization will contract you, but most organizations don't want to be a part of Overwatch because, again, it's a net loss because there's not many people who watch it.

00:39:34.000 There's not many people who...

00:39:35.000 I mean, I wouldn't say support it, but if you pull up a...

00:39:38.000 It has a lot of cash.

00:39:39.000 Yeah, let's say Overwatch has a big player base, but a lot of more casual.

00:39:43.000 Yeah, but the casual players are not interested in pro player.

00:39:46.000 You're right.

00:39:46.000 That's a problem.

00:39:47.000 You open up a League of Legends Counter-Strike, you open up Twitch or like a YouTube or a stream, you'll see like half an M view sometimes in big events.

00:39:54.000 Half a million people watching.

00:39:55.000 And that's only online.

00:39:56.000 And that's only on one platform.

00:39:58.000 Across all problems, millions of views.

00:39:59.000 You know?

00:40:00.000 And some people are in the arena.

00:40:01.000 Some arenas were packed like 20k people.

00:40:03.000 Like it's a stadium.

00:40:04.000 For what game?

00:40:05.000 Like Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Dota.

00:40:07.000 League of Legends.

00:40:08.000 Dota. 0.99

00:40:09.000 We fucking listening to some Bass Hunter right now or what? 0.98

00:40:13.000 I heard it's good though. 0.97

00:40:15.000 It's almost like League but like...

00:40:17.000 It's a competitor of League.

00:40:19.000 Dota's been around forever.

00:40:20.000 Yeah.

00:40:21.000 Like, chat, you guys know what I'm talking about? 1.00

00:40:23.000 Bastard fucking Dota? 1.00

00:40:24.000 Like, bro, that shit was slap. 1.00

00:40:26.000 It used to be Warcraft. 0.99

00:40:27.000 It's a mode for Warcraft.

00:40:28.000 A game called Warcraft.

00:40:29.000 Oh, World of Warcraft.

00:40:30.000 No, no, no, just Warcraft.

00:40:31.000 Warcraft, okay.

00:40:31.000 Yeah, it's an old game that Dota is just a mode of Warcraft.

00:40:34.000 Just like how Counter-Strike is a mode of Half-Life.

00:40:35.000 What are the biggest games you would say now, then?

00:40:39.000 Because I get people in the chat like, you should play this game, play this game. 0.99

00:40:42.000 And I'm like, bro, I don't want to play those fucking games. 0.99

00:40:44.000 Most people who say that, they don't know what they're talking about. 0.99

00:40:46.000 They said these dead games and you should play it.

00:40:49.000 No, you shouldn't play it.

00:40:49.000 You should have played like two years ago when it was popular.

00:40:51.000 Now it's not popular.

00:40:51.000 But the big games are probably Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Dota.

00:40:55.000 You have Fortnite.

00:40:57.000 Fortnite, yeah.

00:40:58.000 These are the main four.

00:41:01.000 Would you say those are the biggest streaming games or are those the biggest games as far as tournaments go?

00:41:06.000 Yeah, competitively.

00:41:07.000 Not casually.

00:41:08.000 Casually and competitively.

00:41:10.000 And by the way, I'm going to be streaming League of Legends constantly on my channel.

00:41:14.000 So if you want to see good players like myself, come watch me.

00:41:16.000 What do you rank?

00:41:17.000 Valorant, yeah.

00:41:17.000 The chat's saying Valorant, that's true.

00:41:18.000 Valorant as well?

00:41:19.000 Yeah.

00:41:20.000 Isn't Valorant kind of like Overwatch, but like a poorer version?

00:41:22.000 Yeah, it's counter-check mixed with Overwatch, yeah.

00:41:24.000 But hey, it has more viewers than Overwatch, so it must be doing something right.

00:41:26.000 Really?

00:41:27.000 It does.

00:41:27.000 More people watch that.

00:41:29.000 What the fuck? 0.99

00:41:30.000 Yeah, yeah, they watch it, but the community there is not doing great. 1.00

00:41:34.000 There's a lot of girls in Sims who play that game. 1.00

00:41:38.000 Ah, man.

00:41:39.000 Can you break down...

00:41:40.000 Can you break down what is to be a...

00:41:46.000 Male gamer and then a girl gamer.

00:41:50.000 Before I answer the question, I would like to share a story.

00:41:53.000 Okay.

00:41:53.000 I remember one day, there was somebody contacting me saying, I want you to teach my kid how to play better.

00:41:59.000 He's a fan of yours.

00:42:01.000 So we set up, his mom was talking to me.

00:42:05.000 We show up in a college, just like a young kid, 14 years old, squeak her voice and stuff, and he's playing, I'm watching. 0.98

00:42:12.000 And it's the first time they've ever stopped and we're like, damn, this guy's good. 0.97

00:42:15.000 He's good. 0.84

00:42:16.000 Everything was sharp.

00:42:17.000 The mechanics, we talked about his aim, the way he was moving his mouse.

00:42:21.000 I couldn't even say anything.

00:42:23.000 There was no feedback.

00:42:23.000 I just said, hey, listen, I talked to the mother.

00:42:25.000 I'll give you back the money because I didn't say anything.

00:42:26.000 I think your kid just needs to play more competitively because he told me I wasn't playing.

00:42:30.000 And he was that good.

00:42:32.000 And I told her, I sat down with the mother, I said, your kid is amazing, he's a genius, he's very smart, articulate everything.

00:42:40.000 It's like, it's not a boy, it's a girl.

00:42:42.000 I was shocked.

00:42:44.000 I was shocked.

00:42:45.000 And it's not because, you know, it's because I've never seen a girl play like that.

00:42:50.000 And I'm not trying to be like a girl. 1.00

00:42:52.000 Well, they suck. 1.00

00:42:52.000 I'll say it for you. 1.00

00:42:53.000 They suck. 1.00

00:42:54.000 Yeah, but it's the first time that I was, damn, I'm impressed. 0.99

00:42:58.000 And a year or two later, she became pro in the Overwatch League. 0.88

00:43:01.000 Really? 1.00

00:43:02.000 What the fuck? 1.00

00:43:03.000 What team does she play on? 1.00

00:43:05.000 I don't remember.

00:43:07.000 I don't remember. 1.00

00:43:08.000 What the fuck? 0.98

00:43:08.000 Okay, yeah, I mean, that's not common because... 0.98

00:43:11.000 Girls are almost never pro in gaming. 1.00

00:43:13.000 But then I realized that girls can actually be good at games, but I think the main issue, what I'm seeing from my experiences is... 1.00

00:43:20.000 Streaming world?

00:43:21.000 Not even the streaming world, I'm talking competitively.

00:43:23.000 Guys have a very strong inherent desire to compete.

00:43:27.000 They take losses really seriously on a competitive level.

00:43:31.000 Because we always, as guys, we always compete with each other.

00:43:33.000 That's why we trash talk all the time.

00:43:35.000 Of course.

00:43:36.000 But girls get discouraged a lot easier.

00:43:39.000 True, yeah.

00:43:40.000 And they don't have as much competitive desire.

00:43:42.000 But when there's the outliers, you can see they're really good.

00:43:45.000 Well, if you look at little girls play, right? 0.99

00:43:46.000 When boys play, they play sports.

00:43:48.000 They play something where there's a winner and loser.

00:43:49.000 When little girls play, what do they play? 1.00

00:43:51.000 Hopscotch, jump rope.

00:43:52.000 They play games where there's no real decided loser or winner.

00:43:55.000 Yeah.

00:43:55.000 You know, patty cake.

00:43:56.000 Weird shit like that. 0.99

00:43:58.000 So, you know, there's definitely outliers that are competitive, right? 1.00

00:44:01.000 Especially, and I've noticed when they have a dad that's competitive.

00:44:04.000 Hey, I'm going to put you in sports.

00:44:05.000 I'm going to put you in whatever.

00:44:06.000 Then you get a couple girls that are competitive. 0.99

00:44:07.000 But most, yeah, I agree with you.

00:44:08.000 They're not.

00:44:10.000 From what I've seen with girls and gaming, those start from my boyfriend.

00:44:14.000 So the boyfriend's playing games online.

00:44:15.000 She's like, you know what?

00:44:16.000 I'm closer to my man.

00:44:18.000 I'll learn his game.

00:44:19.000 What happens sometimes though, like what he's saying, just random, not always happens, but the girl becomes pretty good because she's trying to prove to her boyfriend she's the one and she'll try to out-game him even though she really can't.

00:44:29.000 You never know.

00:44:30.000 That's Angie.

00:44:30.000 She trashed.

00:44:38.000 What I'm saying is that the wife was impressed because every time she died, she's like, oh yeah, my bad, I messed up here.

00:44:45.000 Accountability?

00:44:45.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:44:46.000 Accountability?

00:44:47.000 Yeah, that's when she was a girl.

00:44:48.000 Did she have a dad?

00:44:49.000 Yeah.

00:44:49.000 Okay.

00:44:50.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:44:54.000 Yes, that's what I'm saying.

00:44:55.000 I think growth can be good, but I think that it requires to rewire your brain to take self-accountability. 0.97

00:45:01.000 I mean, a lot of dudes also suck because they're like, this is my teammate's fault. 0.88

00:45:05.000 Let's go down the road of streamer girl. 0.97

00:45:07.000 What does that entail?

00:45:11.000 The issue that I have with streamer girls is that maybe they will start with the idea or the fact that they want to show that they're good. 0.99

00:45:20.000 What ends up happening is they end up sexualizing themselves a little bit.

00:45:25.000 They just put it that way.

00:45:26.000 A little bit?

00:45:27.000 Well, sometimes a lot.

00:45:30.000 He's being nice.

00:45:31.000 Yeah, I'm just being nice.

00:45:33.000 And then just, you started off as streaming because you wanted to show how good you are, but now you just drop that and all of a sudden, because it's just a money thing, realistically.

00:45:41.000 Because there's a lot of simps on the internet, just the way it is.

00:45:44.000 And they monetize it.

00:45:46.000 I can't blame it because when there's a seller, there's a buyer, right?

00:45:49.000 Or when there's a buyer, there's a seller, sorry.

00:45:50.000 I'm trying to think, like, these big girl streamers, like a Pokemon, whatever, did they start playing video games first, or were they just, like, thoughts from the beginning? 0.84

00:45:57.000 I think Pokemon's story is that, like, she had a boyfriend that was playing an online game, and she just wanted to match him, and she became a player because of that.

00:46:04.000 Alright, so, because I'm trying to think in my head, like, I'm trying to think of, like, a big female streamer that actually plays games. 1.00

00:46:10.000 You know who I heard about?

00:46:11.000 And it's good, and I can't think of one.

00:46:13.000 Can you think?

00:46:14.000 There's one in Overwatch.

00:46:15.000 There's one in Overwatch.

00:46:17.000 Aspen.

00:46:17.000 Her name is Aspen.

00:46:18.000 Nickname.

00:46:19.000 She's good.

00:46:20.000 She's been ranked one many times.

00:46:22.000 She's competed against me as well.

00:46:23.000 Shout out to her.

00:46:24.000 Is she a support player?

00:46:26.000 Yes.

00:46:26.000 Okay.

00:46:27.000 I know who you're talking about.

00:46:28.000 Looks like an emo chick, right? 1.00

00:46:30.000 Yeah, a little bit.

00:46:31.000 I think I know who you're talking about.

00:46:32.000 I don't think, from what I've seen, she's never sexualized herself or anything like that.

00:46:36.000 She's playing very well.

00:46:37.000 Yeah.

00:46:39.000 If it's a girl that I'm thinking of, she can't sexualize herself. 1.00

00:46:42.000 That's what I'm thinking of.

00:46:43.000 Trying to say something nice.

00:46:45.000 You watch it right?

00:46:46.000 Okay.

00:46:47.000 Yeah, she ain't hot. 1.00

00:46:48.000 Okay, never mind.

00:46:49.000 That's fine, though.

00:46:49.000 Hey, that's actually better because then people respect her skill.

00:46:52.000 I do.

00:46:52.000 Okay, she can actually play.

00:46:53.000 I do.

00:46:54.000 So, okay, fair enough.

00:46:57.000 What was I going to say?

00:46:59.000 But wait, a big misconception is that a girl needs to be attracted to have viewers. 0.99

00:47:04.000 That is not true.

00:47:05.000 You can be the most average girl.

00:47:06.000 If you're good, yeah.

00:47:07.000 No, I'm talking about the sexualizing thing.

00:47:09.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:47:09.000 You can be the most average girl ever and you have a bunch of simps just watching you.

00:47:14.000 True.

00:47:14.000 Because they get no attention outside.

00:47:16.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:47:17.000 Pokeman's average is fucked. 1.00

00:47:18.000 You know, my buddy, John from My Life Dating, he always used to say, Twitch is the land of sixes and fives. 1.00

00:47:23.000 And I always thought that was funny.

00:47:24.000 Because he's kind of true.

00:47:25.000 Some of these girls, if they showed up to Miami, you wouldn't even notice them. 1.00

00:47:28.000 You'd be like, what the fuck? 0.99

00:47:29.000 Well, from what I've heard in the streets, they've said that guys prefer The Girl Next Door. 1.00

00:47:34.000 You're right.

00:47:35.000 So the OnlyFans explosion, the streaming explosion is because The Girl Next Door is there to talk to them. 1.00

00:47:41.000 And for once in history, they're responding.

00:47:45.000 So it's possible through the online world.

00:47:48.000 So I think on that level, it makes sense.

00:47:50.000 Obtainability.

00:47:51.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:47:52.000 It's a dream that may come true.

00:47:54.000 Maybe one day she might just pick me. 1.00

00:47:56.000 Another thing too that's interesting with these streamer girls, they never reveal if they have a boyfriend or not. 1.00

00:48:00.000 Have you noticed that?

00:48:01.000 They never ever do that.

00:48:02.000 Yeah, that's true. 0.99

00:48:03.000 OF girls and streamer girls, 9 out of 10 times they always have a male counterpart, but they never reveal that shit. 0.99

00:48:08.000 They never reveal it. 0.93

00:48:09.000 And the reason why is because they don't want to lose money because they want to sell the fantasy that like, oh yeah, you can potentially be my boyfriend.

00:48:15.000 There was a girl playing Call of Duty. 0.99

00:48:17.000 That was caught botting.

00:48:19.000 I forgot her name.

00:48:20.000 I think she was...

00:48:21.000 What's her name?

00:48:23.000 Someone in chat knows her name.

00:48:24.000 Botting views?

00:48:24.000 No, botting like the gameplay.

00:48:26.000 Oh, cheating.

00:48:27.000 She had an aimbot.

00:48:28.000 What's her name?

00:48:28.000 Nadia.

00:48:29.000 Nadia.

00:48:29.000 That's it.

00:48:30.000 Oh, she was... 0.97

00:48:30.000 Okay. 0.97

00:48:31.000 How prevalent is cheating in the online world, you would say?

00:48:35.000 At a high level, not so much.

00:48:38.000 At a casual level, probably more often.

00:48:39.000 I don't meet a lot of cheaters.

00:48:41.000 I don't understand that point.

00:48:41.000 I never cheated in my life in a video game.

00:48:43.000 That's weird, yeah.

00:48:43.000 Never.

00:48:44.000 But hold on.

00:48:45.000 As a girl, if I'm not that good, and I can get a bot to play for me while I just talk to people, I'll make money.

00:48:52.000 Wait, did she have a bot playing for her, or she had someone else playing for her that was good?

00:48:56.000 I think she was like an aim assist type bot, is that correct?

00:48:58.000 So imagine, she had perfect aim 100% of the time. 0.99

00:49:02.000 Oh yeah, that's trash. 0.98

00:49:02.000 But it's so obvious as well. 0.98

00:49:03.000 Like, if you have two eyes, you can understand the same bod. 0.87

00:49:05.000 Yeah.

00:49:06.000 But she got caught.

00:49:06.000 I think someone called her out, and then they caught her.

00:49:09.000 Okay.

00:49:09.000 But that's crazy, though.

00:49:10.000 Cheating is weird, bro. 0.55

00:49:11.000 It's so lame.

00:49:12.000 Like, it has no point.

00:49:13.000 Like, why are you even playing?

00:49:14.000 Yeah.

00:49:15.000 I see people cheating. 0.99

00:49:17.000 Like, they'll play McCree or, like, a head scan, and they're fucking cheating. 0.98

00:49:19.000 I'm like, what are you doing? 1.00

00:49:20.000 Like, what the fuck, man? 1.00

00:49:21.000 Weirdos. 1.00

00:49:23.000 Chats or...

00:49:23.000 We got chats for you?

00:49:24.000 Okay.

00:49:25.000 I'll read some of these chats and then...

00:49:26.000 Did you finish what you were going to...

00:49:27.000 I'm sorry.

00:49:28.000 Yeah, I just wanted to say something.

00:49:29.000 Other people like L Gaming, don't play video games.

00:49:32.000 I have a secret for you guys.

00:49:33.000 Most people that you probably know who are celebrities or people that you look up to, they also play video games.

00:49:38.000 Elon Musk is a huge Overwatch player.

00:49:40.000 A lot of NBA players, you know, football players, a lot of celebrities play games. 0.99

00:49:46.000 Fucking an NBA player. 0.98

00:49:47.000 What's his name? 1.00

00:49:48.000 Luka Doncic.

00:49:49.000 Guys, he had Grand Master on Overwatch. 0.99

00:49:51.000 I was like, what the fuck? 1.00

00:49:51.000 Fuck! 1.00

00:49:52.000 Like, how do you create a superstar? 1.00

00:49:53.000 Because you know what it is?

00:49:54.000 And I realize by meeting these people, they don't go outside.

00:49:57.000 So when they're home, they're bored.

00:49:59.000 So they buy a console or they go on PC and they play a game.

00:50:01.000 Yeah.

00:50:01.000 That's what it is.

00:50:02.000 So here's the thing, guys.

00:50:03.000 Like, my thing is, obviously, as you guys know, I've always made fun of video games. 0.98

00:50:06.000 Because I quit video games in 2018 when I first moved to Miami and I said, fuck this shit, I'm not going to play no more. 0.96

00:50:11.000 But if you get yourself to a certain point and you're able to, like, I don't know, like get yourself to a certain point where it's like, okay, I can play some video games and control it, right? 0.99

00:50:20.000 So like I have a rule, like I'm going to go to the gym, I'm going to train before I fucking stream or anything like that.

00:50:24.000 If you guys notice, I don't stream playing video games unless I've went to the gym.

00:50:28.000 So I always go to the gym first, then come and I'll stream.

00:50:31.000 The video game. 0.98

00:50:32.000 Like, you just gotta set rules for yourself and have the fucking discipline to get up if needed. 1.00

00:50:35.000 Or, if you are gonna go the route of I'm gonna game, you better be fucking good at it and make some goddamn money. 0.99

00:50:40.000 Which, by the way, we're gonna have a Zoom call on that, by the way, teach you guys how to do it. 0.99

00:50:43.000 Yes.

00:50:43.000 With Awkward here.

00:50:44.000 How to monetize and make a bunch of money playing video games.

00:50:48.000 But, yeah, man, it's all about control.

00:50:50.000 And honestly...

00:50:52.000 The video game industry, man, is the number one in entertainment.

00:50:55.000 It beats everything else by movies, television, everything by a huge margin.

00:51:00.000 It's huge.

00:51:01.000 And not a single programmer will come and talk on the show or any show.

00:51:05.000 Have you noticed?

00:51:05.000 Do gamers go on pods or on publishers?

00:51:08.000 No.

00:51:08.000 They don't.

00:51:09.000 Because they're no well-rounded people.

00:51:10.000 All they do is just play video games.

00:51:11.000 Put them in front of the cap, they can't speak.

00:51:13.000 You gotta be well-rounded.

00:51:15.000 Actually, before we get into the chats, can you talk about how you're able to balance?

00:51:19.000 Because you're an average gym goer.

00:51:20.000 You box.

00:51:20.000 You go outside.

00:51:21.000 You have a social life.

00:51:22.000 You womanize from time to time. 0.98

00:51:25.000 Can you talk about the importance of balancing all that, especially someone that's playing at a high level?

00:51:30.000 Also, show them your hand, bro.

00:51:32.000 Because people might say, oh, he doesn't go to the gym.

00:51:33.000 I mean, yeah, I have the calluses.

00:51:35.000 He works out.

00:51:36.000 We saw him in the gym, too, as well.

00:51:37.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:51:38.000 We've got to work out with him earlier.

00:51:39.000 Actually, it's going to be up on your channel, right?

00:51:41.000 The workout that we filmed a couple of days ago?

00:51:43.000 So yeah.

00:51:43.000 Sorry, go ahead.

00:51:44.000 So what I was saying is that...

00:51:46.000 Sorry, what was the question again?

00:51:47.000 The importance of balancing your life when it comes to the gym, eating healthy, obviously having a social life.

00:51:52.000 How do you balance all that while being a professional gamer?

00:51:54.000 It's actually pretty easy.

00:51:55.000 Most people don't do it because they're lazy.

00:51:57.000 Even a pro gamer, when I used to play, like 14 hours a day.

00:52:00.000 I still have two hours.

00:52:02.000 To be honest, I'm going to be honest.

00:52:03.000 I used to be lazy.

00:52:03.000 That's why I didn't go to the gym.

00:52:04.000 I didn't go to the gym and just play.

00:52:05.000 It's like, no, I need to practice.

00:52:06.000 No, I could go to the gym instead of that.

00:52:08.000 I just used to watch YouTube videos instead of just doing something outside.

00:52:12.000 And it's a choice.

00:52:12.000 Most people don't make the choice, the good choice, just to make the bad choices.

00:52:16.000 So, yeah, that's a choice. 1.00

00:52:19.000 Most people are just fucking lazy. 0.99

00:52:20.000 It's the way it is. 0.99

00:52:21.000 And they don't want to do what's required, you know what I mean?

00:52:23.000 They'll use video games as an excuse like, oh, blah, blah, blah.

00:52:25.000 But you can, you know, make money, go to the gym, have a social life, all that.

00:52:29.000 And it's important because it's only cool to play video games once you're cool...

00:52:34.000 Anywhere else, you know?

00:52:35.000 When you're built like Hercules, and you say, I play video games, ah, now you're cool, you know?

00:52:41.000 But if all you do is play video games, it's pretty lame.

00:52:43.000 Yeah, you could be top 500, but if you have nothing else going for you, well, still nobody. 0.99

00:52:47.000 Yeah, you don't want to be one of these fucking... 0.98

00:52:50.000 Yeah, it's true. 1.00

00:52:51.000 It's like, you want people to be surprised, like, oh shit, you play at a high level? 0.99

00:52:54.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:52:54.000 And you can play, guys, you can play games at a high level and not be a fucking loser. 1.00

00:52:58.000 You absolutely can, but it's all about balance and discipline. 0.99

00:53:01.000 Yeah.

00:53:01.000 You gonna say something?

00:53:02.000 I remember back in the day, you know who made gaming cool?

00:53:05.000 Who?

00:53:05.000 This was very random.

00:53:07.000 Soulja Boy.

00:53:09.000 Think about this.

00:53:09.000 He was a rapper in the industry that was young, hot, on the internet.

00:53:13.000 And all the rappers were like, oh, this is too new, bro.

00:53:17.000 I don't like what you're doing.

00:53:18.000 But he brought rap and internet together, then gaming as well.

00:53:22.000 And it's almost like he made it cool to game, even if you were like, you know, a rapper or a celebrity.

00:53:28.000 Because at that point, it was like, oh, wait, gaming?

00:53:30.000 That's kind of weird.

00:53:31.000 But he made it cool.

00:53:32.000 Yeah.

00:53:32.000 And the other thing, too, for me, why I decided to get into it is, like, it's a whole other community that we can, like, branch into.

00:53:38.000 You know what I mean?

00:53:38.000 So I was like...

00:53:39.000 And these are guys that fucking need our help. 0.99

00:53:41.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00

00:53:41.000 Guys that are, like, sipping on chicks and losers. 1.00

00:53:43.000 Jinx? 0.98

00:53:44.000 Yeah, like, look at him.

00:53:44.000 Crying over an OF chick.

00:53:45.000 Like, what the...

00:53:46.000 Did you hear about that?

00:53:47.000 I actually don't know who that is.

00:53:48.000 Okay.

00:53:49.000 I don't know who that is.

00:53:50.000 What game does he play, Mo?

00:53:51.000 Is it Rainbow Six? 0.89

00:53:52.000 I have a weird suspicion that...

00:53:55.000 He isn't that bad off compared to Neon.

00:53:58.000 Is Neon a gamer too?

00:54:01.000 Probably, right?

00:54:03.000 He definitely looks like a gamer, yeah.

00:54:05.000 But I think Jinx is probably doing bad stuff too, if you know what I mean.

00:54:09.000 No, he still streams.

00:54:11.000 I think it's Rainbow Six is what he plays.

00:54:12.000 But yeah, he was simping on this girl, whatever.

00:54:15.000 And that's what I'm trying to say.

00:54:16.000 XQC, he's a simp as well.

00:54:18.000 The gaming community needs this type of information.

00:54:21.000 So I was like, you know what? 0.94

00:54:22.000 Fuck, I'm going to play it because I'm going to stream it, play a game that I like, that I used to be really good at, and then also get into the gaming community. 0.99

00:54:28.000 So for me, there was a bunch of reasons. 0.99

00:54:30.000 Obviously for you, it's got to make sense why you would play.

00:54:33.000 But a lot of you guys, let's be honest, a lot of y'all are not in a position to play.

00:54:36.000 If you guys are fucking not over here, and I've told you guys this before, I think you shouldn't be playing video games recreationally unless you're making at least six figures a year. 0.99

00:54:42.000 Get your fucking life in order before you decide to do this stuff. 0.99

00:54:46.000 Unless you're going to monetize and be really good and make money off it. 0.99

00:54:49.000 But the majority is most of you guys are not going to be able to do that. 0.99

00:54:51.000 So make the fucking money first. 0.99

00:54:54.000 Rechats? 1.00

00:54:55.000 Yep.

00:54:55.000 Alright.

00:54:56.000 And then we've got Zoom call coming up.

00:54:58.000 Oh yeah, and then Zoom call.

00:54:58.000 And then we're going to talk about detail about making money and streaming and all that other stuff.

00:55:02.000 Fresh looks like Jinx.

00:55:04.000 I don't have a wig on. 0.99

00:55:04.000 That's fucking funny. 0.99

00:55:06.000 Bet no one knows who this is and where he from. 0.99

00:55:08.000 That looks like Mega Man or...

00:55:11.000 That looks like a Mega Man boss character.

00:55:13.000 I could be wrong, though.

00:55:14.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:55:15.000 I don't know what it is.

00:55:16.000 I remember Mega Man X on Super Nintendo. 0.99

00:55:18.000 That shit was lit. 1.00

00:55:19.000 You're mine. 1.00

00:55:19.000 These other YouTubers are trash when I watch y'all. 1.00

00:55:21.000 It's like y'all are the homies. 1.00

00:55:22.000 Y'all actually care about the audience. 0.96

00:55:23.000 Anyway, you should try to play other games like 2K, Smash, Friday the 13th, FNF team would be funny as fuck. 0.92

00:55:29.000 The two.

00:55:30.000 I think playing games with your team is good, though.

00:55:32.000 Because, I guess, diversity and...

00:55:33.000 Well, I would play with these dudes, but they never want to get on Overwatch.

00:55:36.000 Should have arranged that tournament, guys.

00:55:37.000 No, no, no.

00:55:37.000 Other than Overwatch.

00:55:38.000 Because you want to play Overwatch.

00:55:39.000 Yeah, because...

00:55:40.000 There's other games out there.

00:55:41.000 Like what?

00:55:42.000 Fortnite, League of Legends.

00:55:43.000 I'm telling you, it's fun.

00:55:44.000 Well, Angie did buy Legends of Zelda.

00:55:47.000 What was it that you got?

00:55:48.000 For me?

00:55:49.000 The newest one?

00:55:51.000 Hold on.

00:55:51.000 Not Breath of the Wild.

00:55:52.000 No, it's not Breath of the Wild.

00:55:53.000 It's the newest one. 0.99

00:55:55.000 God damn it. 0.99

00:55:56.000 Chad's going to put it. 1.00

00:55:57.000 Yeah.

00:55:57.000 But no, I'm saying community-wise, imagine me, Chris, you, Moe, and Bill's playing a game together.

00:56:03.000 That's not Overwatch.

00:56:04.000 What are we gonna play then?

00:56:06.000 Fortnite?

00:56:06.000 Smash Brothers, Fortnite.

00:56:08.000 Like, just something different.

00:56:09.000 Is my name Jamal?

00:56:10.000 I'm not playing Fortnite.

00:56:12.000 There's a lot of other games, bro.

00:56:13.000 See, we all know who plays Fortnite.

00:56:15.000 That's my disagreement on Myron.

00:56:16.000 What's your niggas? 0.96

00:56:21.000 It's called Tears of the Kingdom.

00:56:22.000 Tears of the Kingdom, that's what it was.

00:56:24.000 What else do we got?

00:56:26.000 We got...

00:56:27.000 That island goes...

00:56:28.000 Myron, would you ever play Tank at Overwatch when taking a break from DPS or support?

00:56:31.000 Nah, man. 0.99

00:56:31.000 Tank is trash. 0.99

00:56:32.000 I hate that shit. 1.00

00:56:33.000 I'm not playing. 1.00

00:56:33.000 I could play Zarya, but I don't like it, bro. 1.00

00:56:42.000 Oh, I know that.

00:56:43.000 That's actually Ryu on the Power Rangers game.

00:56:48.000 Battle something, Power Rangers.

00:56:50.000 It was PlayStation 4.

00:56:53.000 Actually, one of my old roommates, he played that game.

00:56:55.000 He swore by that game.

00:56:56.000 And I remember Ryu was a DLC. That's crazy.

00:58:06.000 And funny enough, bro, if you play Smash or League of Legends, I would destroy you.

00:58:10.000 But again, that's my wheelhouse.

00:58:13.000 It's not yours. 0.78

00:58:14.000 So, Overwatch is not mine, bro.

00:58:15.000 Don't play Overwatch. 1.00

00:58:16.000 Yeah, but you suck, though. 0.99

00:58:17.000 Call of Duty. 1.00

00:58:18.000 I wrote you, too.

00:58:19.000 Bro, who plays Call of Duty in 2024, bro?

00:58:21.000 A lot of people.

00:58:22.000 That's the problem.

00:58:23.000 That's why I don't play.

00:58:24.000 Went through a Fed Reacts marathon, and let me tell you, it makes you miss Fresh.

00:58:28.000 Fresh is hella funny, not gonna lie.

00:58:30.000 All y'all Fresh haters, y'all really don't know what y'all got till it's gone.

00:58:33.000 No Fresh equal two stars for the show.

00:58:35.000 Fresh, well, balanced show overall.

00:58:36.000 WFresh is corny jokes and moments. 1.00

00:58:38.000 Fuck all the Fresh haters. 1.00

00:58:39.000 Fresh, you still ugly, though. 1.00

00:58:45.000 Me being ugly? 0.99

00:58:46.000 I embrace it.

00:58:47.000 Can you imagine at my level with game and meeting girls, I'd have 10 kids by now.

00:58:53.000 What?

00:58:53.000 If this wasn't as ugly.

00:58:55.000 You what?

00:58:55.000 It's a blessing in disguise, bro.

00:58:56.000 I'm telling you.

00:58:57.000 It's a blessing.

00:58:57.000 Fair enough.

00:58:58.000 Thank you.

00:58:59.000 Hey, FNF, I did a drawing for the merch last minute, but can't find your Gmail to send them, so could message me or something, I think one or two.

00:59:07.000 Guys, Icy and Angie are running that. 0.91

00:59:10.000 It's FNFreach.com.

00:59:26.000 National Socialist American Workers Party.

00:59:28.000 Have you guys registered yet? 1.00

00:59:29.000 What the fuck? 0.99

00:59:29.000 Okay, man. 0.99

00:59:30.000 N64 is primetime gaming for me at eight years old.

00:59:32.000 Lots of Pokemon, Stadium, Paper Mario, Smash Bros.

00:59:34.000 Paper Mario!

00:59:35.000 Mortal Kombat.

00:59:36.000 What starter did you pick first when time playing Pokemon?

00:59:38.000 God of War and PlayStation was a favorite franchise.

00:59:40.000 I always used to pick Squirtle.

00:59:41.000 And the reason why I picked Squirtle is because you would have an easy time with the first two gym leaders.

00:59:44.000 That's why.

00:59:45.000 Same.

00:59:45.000 I picked Charmander.

00:59:47.000 Because I'm a boss. 0.98

00:59:48.000 Bro, losers picked Charmander. 1.00

00:59:50.000 Myron, you should play Ready or Not.

00:59:52.000 It's a PC SWAT game.

00:59:54.000 Very realistic.

00:59:54.000 Give it a try.

00:59:55.000 It's on Steam.

00:59:55.000 Myron, you don't like playing other games.

00:59:57.000 Yeah.

00:59:58.000 Have you guys played CS or Valorant?

01:00:00.000 Valorant, I haven't.

01:00:01.000 CS, no.

01:00:02.000 But you've played Valorant, right?

01:00:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:00:04.000 Pretty good at that.

01:00:05.000 You like it?

01:00:06.000 Yeah.

01:00:07.000 Stoney Sama, shout out to my boy Zeno in the back, doing big things.

01:00:11.000 Also, I'm a lot of fresh and fit family.

01:00:12.000 Keep saving these men's lives.

01:00:13.000 Appreciate it.

01:00:13.000 Shout out to you, bro.

01:00:16.000 DVN goes, do you guys like hardcore military shooters?

01:00:20.000 I mean, I did play Call of Duty 4 back in the day, but Modern Warfare 2, I think.

01:00:24.000 I was really good at it back in the day.

01:00:25.000 I like Battlefield.

01:00:26.000 Battlefield?

01:00:27.000 Oh, yeah, a lot of people play Battlefield.

01:00:28.000 Do people still play Battlefield?

01:00:29.000 Like, do people, like, is it, like, popular?

01:00:31.000 No, Battlefield, no.

01:00:32.000 Call of Duty's a little bit popular, yeah.

01:00:33.000 More popular?

01:00:34.000 Yeah, okay.

01:00:34.000 They, um, they kind of, EA ruined it.

01:00:36.000 They ruined the hell out of it.

01:00:37.000 Oh, yeah, because they wanted to milk it and make more money, bro.

01:00:39.000 Yeah.

01:00:40.000 So, uh, what else do we got?

01:00:41.000 Less content for you.

01:00:42.000 Oh, we got a Puerto Rican in the house. 1.00

01:00:43.000 Shout out to Roberto.

01:00:44.000 Um, hold on, let me see.

01:00:46.000 I'm not seeing anything.

01:00:47.000 Anything else?

01:00:48.000 I saw one come in.

01:00:49.000 Let me tell you.

01:00:50.000 Guys, we got a Zoom call on Castle Club.

01:00:52.000 Yep.

01:00:53.000 Members only.

01:00:54.000 Yep.

01:00:54.000 Awkward, for example, showing how to monetize, how to actually get into gaming and be serious about it.

01:00:59.000 Super simple.

01:01:00.000 You better join.

01:01:01.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, we can.

01:01:02.000 Yeah, that's the best way to do it.

01:01:03.000 You guys are right about these streamer gamer girls like Pokimane, Valkyrie, and Kaedei. 0.99

01:01:09.000 These girls be mad as fuck in both gaming and... 1.00

01:01:13.000 That's from Rumble vs. 1.00

01:01:14.000 YouTube.

01:01:15.000 What else?

01:01:16.000 That's it.

01:01:16.000 That's it?

01:01:17.000 Cool.

01:01:18.000 I'm trying to think if we missed anything.

01:01:19.000 We talked about fitness and gaming.

01:01:21.000 Everything.

01:01:22.000 And then the girls are here as well.

01:01:24.000 Tell us, what's a day in the schedule like for you nowadays?

01:01:28.000 Now I have my own business.

01:01:30.000 I teach people how to play.

01:01:31.000 Rankup Academy.

01:01:32.000 Yeah, I have my Rankup Academy.

01:01:34.000 I also have my YouTube channel.

01:01:35.000 I stream, try to socialize, walk outside, go to the gym, box, do a bunch of things.

01:01:39.000 So I wake up.

01:01:40.000 I'm not one of these like 5 a.m.

01:01:42.000 guys.

01:01:42.000 Sometimes I'll wake up afternoon.

01:01:44.000 Because I work on an American schedule.

01:01:46.000 I'll probably wake up sometime.

01:01:47.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:01:48.000 Work until like 5, 6 a.m.?

01:01:50.000 Yeah.

01:01:50.000 It's funny.

01:01:50.000 I was outside and I saw him three times, right?

01:01:53.000 Yeah.

01:01:54.000 I'm like, he's active.

01:01:55.000 He's active.

01:01:55.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:01:56.000 For a gamer, he's actually outside. 0.99

01:01:57.000 I'm like, God damn it. 0.98

01:01:58.000 It's pretty cool. 0.99

01:01:59.000 We've got to go work out in and everything.

01:02:00.000 He's in good shape.

01:02:01.000 So I think that's important.

01:02:02.000 I think that's what gamers need to aspire to be like.

01:02:04.000 Be well-rounded.

01:02:05.000 Obviously, get your money on point.

01:02:07.000 Get everything else.

01:02:07.000 You want to game a little bit, that's fine.

01:02:09.000 I think, personally, you've got to be making six for zero if you're going to game.

01:02:12.000 Unless you're going to use that gaming to make money or become pro or whatever it may be.

01:02:15.000 So that's what I think.

01:02:16.000 You get your life in order, guys. 1.00

01:02:18.000 And then don't be a fucking slob. 1.00

01:02:19.000 Go to the gym. 1.00

01:02:20.000 Train.

01:02:20.000 Eat well.

01:02:21.000 And if you're going to game, hey, man.

01:02:23.000 It's not a big deal if you do it on the side.

01:02:25.000 Anything else?

01:02:26.000 That's it.

01:02:26.000 Hey, we got a gift, though.

01:02:28.000 Angie?

01:02:29.000 Shout out to Angie for being creative here. 1.00

01:02:32.000 Uh-oh.

01:02:33.000 We went ahead and got you this Zenyatta bobblehead. 1.00

01:02:37.000 Okay!

01:02:40.000 Yeah, the number one Zen player in the world.

01:02:43.000 Can I open it?

01:02:43.000 Yeah, of course.

01:02:44.000 Nothing.

01:02:46.000 So, shout out to Angie for finding it.

01:02:48.000 That's pretty dope.

01:02:49.000 Because Angie got me this one right here.

01:02:50.000 I got my McCree one, right, that you guys always see here at the table.

01:02:54.000 So we got Awkward, a Zen one. 0.64

01:02:56.000 And that's a thank you, because obviously, you know, you helped me rank up, get me out of Elo Hell and shit like that. 0.86

01:03:01.000 And, you know, so we got you a Zen. 0.92

01:03:03.000 And that's with one of the skins.

01:03:04.000 Elo Hell doesn't exist.

01:03:05.000 This is true.

01:03:06.000 Actually, you know what?

01:03:07.000 You're right.

01:03:07.000 Elo Hell does not exist.

01:03:08.000 It's you being bad.

01:03:10.000 You're right.

01:03:10.000 It doesn't exist.

01:03:11.000 Yeah, hey man, I was putting that work in, man, because I was tired of fucking losing. 0.90

01:03:17.000 But yeah. 0.97

01:03:18.000 That's cool.

01:03:19.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:03:20.000 Place it on.

01:03:21.000 Yep.

01:03:21.000 Because Zen floats, that's why.

01:03:23.000 So yeah, boom, there you go.

01:03:25.000 Experience nothingness.

01:03:26.000 And I think it's like, Angie, is it like limited edition or something like that?

01:03:29.000 Yeah, so you can't really...

01:03:31.000 It's not as easy to get.

01:03:32.000 Thank you.

01:03:32.000 No, no, of course, bro.

01:03:35.000 Yeah, Rank Up Academy.

01:03:36.000 Guys, get in there. 0.93

01:03:37.000 I got Angie in there.

01:03:38.000 She's actually practicing and getting better with her characters as well.

01:03:42.000 Yeah.

01:03:43.000 I put her on blast. 0.98

01:03:45.000 Like, yeah, she's in there. 0.99

01:03:47.000 Awkward helps her with playing Lucio and everything else like that because she needs help because she's trash. 0.99

01:03:51.000 So... 0.99

01:03:53.000 But no, man.

01:03:54.000 Guys, get in there. 0.93

01:03:55.000 It's not that expensive either.

01:03:57.000 It's like 50 bucks or something like that.

01:03:59.000 Most people charge for an hour way more than that.

01:04:01.000 So you obviously coach them with getting better mechanically, mindset, everything else like that, which I think is very important.

01:04:06.000 So if you're going to want to get better at Overwatch, because a lot of y'all want to play with me, and I tell y'all... 0.89

01:04:10.000 If you want to play with me and you're trash, I'm not going to play with you.

01:04:13.000 Hey, man, I'm cool on air and everything else like that, but I'm super competitive when I play. 1.00

01:04:17.000 If you're fucking trash, I'm not playing with you, man. 0.99

01:04:19.000 So give me the record. 1.00

01:04:20.000 Yeah, I'll boot you. 0.98

01:04:21.000 I've done it before when people are watching, streaming, and they'll be like, yo, Mario, I want to join.

01:04:25.000 They join in and they do terrible.

01:04:26.000 I kick them out the game, man.

01:04:27.000 I'm like, what does Timberland make? 0.99

01:04:28.000 Boots, nigga, boom! 1.00

01:04:30.000 Get him out of here, bro. 1.00

01:04:31.000 I'm trying to fucking win. 1.00

01:04:33.000 Are you coming into my shit? 1.00

01:04:34.000 You stupid. 1.00

01:04:35.000 I get it. 1.00

01:04:36.000 Come on, man.

01:04:37.000 Even Angie, I be booing her, too. 1.00

01:04:39.000 Damn! 1.00

01:04:39.000 Ed, you trash! 1.00

01:04:40.000 Get out of here! 1.00

01:04:41.000 How dare you! 1.00

01:04:44.000 Damn, Mari! 1.00

01:04:45.000 She knows how I am, Ed. 0.99

01:04:47.000 That's funny, though.

01:04:48.000 That's how I got her bailed one time? 1.00

01:04:50.000 No.

01:04:50.000 So, as you guys know, she plays right next to me, right?

01:04:53.000 They heard you talking?

01:04:55.000 They heard me talking!

01:04:58.000 I'm raging on one side, and they hear her on her thing, and they hear me raging, and they're like, what the hell?

01:05:03.000 What's going on here?

01:05:03.000 So they report her, and then she got con-banned.

01:05:07.000 So she couldn't use her mic for like a week.

01:05:08.000 Ban by proximity.

01:05:10.000 Ban by proximity.

01:05:11.000 And the people on the other side of the computer can hear you twice.

01:05:13.000 Yeah.

01:05:14.000 So anyway, guys, we're going to start the Zoom call now.

01:05:19.000 Guys, so come on over to CastleClub.tv, man.

01:05:32.000 Let's go.

01:05:37.000 Yeah, 30 minutes.

01:05:38.000 And then we're going to, then actually, stay tuned for after hours.

01:05:40.000 We've got some, you know, streamer girls on for tonight, since we've got a special guest with Awkward.

01:05:44.000 And guess what?

01:05:45.000 Wink, wink.
