Hi! I’m dropping the “Primal” moniker and going by my actual name, Kaizen. Kaizen means continuous improvement and I like it, so I’d like to go by that name everywhere! Loved being in

My birthday was October 16th. I’m 31 now. 10 years ago I spent my 21st birthday depressed and alone in my room. This year I spent it at Machu Picchu in Peru evolving through plant medicine and experiencing genuine miracles. Change is possible for you too

From now on CLG stands for Can’t Lose Games. CLG will draft press R comps and laugh at your “late games” and “clean macro”. I’m not a fan of CLG, I’m simply a fan of peak gameplay, and CLG is atop Mt. Everest. You can keep your 5 million dollar imports, I’ll keep my faith.

I struggle with perfectionism, which causes me to avoid trying things I’m not naturally good at. Today was my first solo surf session. I was hilariously bad, caught 0 waves. On the way back a stranger asked how it went. I said “I sucked”, he said “that’s part of the process”.

IMT played 14 unique picks across 3 games. The only champ they repeated was Viego, which they flexed. They outclassed DIG at every point of all 3 games, smashing even harder than EG. This was a hugely impressive showing and they're a threat to anyone in the lower bracket.

2021 C9 is the best NA team ever sent to MSI:
1. 🐐 Westerner and literal MSI winner Perkz
2. Blaber, best NA jungler in years
3. All, incl. Fudge, have intl exp
4. Proactive x creative
Plus, if they can just get 2nd/3rd in group stage 2, they can avoid DWG til final

Being positive vs negative isn’t about fiction vs reality. It’s about recognizing that how we judge, speak about, and react to any set of circumstances is a choice, and the choices we make are what render those circumstances positive or negative for us and others. Choose wisely.

It’s early but 100T looked incredible vs TSM and C9, and now we’ve seen them on two very different styles of comps. This is the 100T that people were excited about in early spring, but more versatile. Haven’t even peaked yet. Strong candidate to win the whole split
