One of the first 3,000 people in the world to hit Champion League in Arena :). Pretty proud of it considering my mechanics are trash! Having to top 5 every match when averaging .4 elims a game is a test of patience!. GGs friends

Currently having my childhood cat put down. I've had him since I was 9. He was the best Christmas gift and friend a kid could have ever asked for. He fought off so much and it killed me to see him struggling this morning. I love you Pippen and am lucky to have grown up with you

Next week is my last week at Epic Games. 7 years ago I couldve never imagined where this journey would take me. From designing, to casting, to music and so much more, every second felt like a dream. Love to all my coworkers & every1 I got to work with. Excited for what's next 💜

2 months ago I was sitting in a tub with a knife in my hands. I had every intention of opening my wrists up and closing my eyes. I decided to call a friend and reach out. I checked myself into a crisis center the next day and started my battle. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay.

And I will stand by this 100%. You can ALWAYS improve and ALWAYS push yourself. You are all incredibly gifted, find the gameplan that works best for you, borrow from others, keep learning and push. Even if just for your own self-improvement. Don't give up hope. You can do it.

Got back to my room and legit cried a bit. I love the Fortnite community. I always knew gaming was special, but never could I imagine an environment and group could be so supportive of each other. Keep being awesome and I'm so excited for the 3rd and final day tomorrow 💜💜💜.

Thank you for all the kind words, unfortunately Blue passed away this morning coming up just on being 14 years old. I fucking loved that dog and just been sobbing nonstop. Rest easy Blue buddy 💙 may there be all the walks, belly rubs, treats and wrestling across the 🌈 bridge.

Just a reminder that while I love gaming and it consumes a lot of my life, it is most certainly not my entire life. Commenting over the top stuff or being rude in DMs when I do decide to talk about something other than gaming is going to result in a mute and/or block all 2020 ✌️.

Got to Champs in 71 less games than last season. Was able to win 7 (up from 3), but was also down about 50 elims compared to last run. Overall Elim ration dropped by .1 from .4 to .3. but overall I had a higher % of top 5s and top 25s than I did last season. GGs :)

To the people saying "why did you say pop a bandage bot?!". If @TSM_ZexRow hadn't had the mats to ramp push, he wouldve been ticked out. The bandage wouldve given him enough time to get his down convert+siphon to get back into zone. Instead, he's just much better than me. My bad.

For the first time in 7.5 years, I've found some medicine that actually helps my stomach and has allowed me to live a semi-normal day to day life. Being able to eat normally, gain weight, and actually work out again has been a huge shift in my mental. Hoping to keep it up 🥲🤘.

Today marks 6 years at Epic, which is absurd to me. If youd told the 14 year old me who was obsessed with Gears and competitive games that this would be where I ended up. well he would've laughed and called you some awful names. Thanks to every1 at Epic, and here's to 6 more!

Low-key I'm kinda crying in my car though out of exasperated relief. The past 6-7 years had been torture on my stomach and kidneys. It's unreal to me that they have been able to not break down like was anticipated. Not fully out of the woods yet, but I do trust feel blessed.

A little past 6am this morning my sweet miss Bandit crossed over the rainbow bridge. We knew it had been coming for a bit but it still hurts. She overcame so much and was such a loving little kitty for 18 years. I'll miss you forever Bandita and give Pippen some love for me 💜😭

I'm so excited to get my brother a gaming set-up. He works his absolute ass off and has since he was 18, but has never really had any extra money for games. Hooking him up with a sick PC from @PowerGPUcom and a full suite of @Razer peripherals. Can't wait to surprise them 😍.

2019 is the year to get rid of emotional vampires and leeches. If someone isn't able to reciprocate your effort towards them as a human, they don't deserve your time. Invest in people who care about you.

@punchale I'm going to hard disagree and say Phyllis is easily the worst character. Mediocre saleswoman who sleep with Bob Vance and marries him because of his status. Black mails Angela, talks down to Pam on so many occasions and generally offers not actual development to the show.

What a sick finish over in NAW!! . Man I love how in so many circumstances it's the difference of just one elim, or one placement point or even coming down to a final tiebreaker. Also lowkey, @JeltyTV dominated that last game. Huge congrats to the top 3 and can't wait for qual3.

Keep going until you are. Whatever it is your are chasing, don't stop and don't ever give up. Don't talk yourself into saying tomorrow, or saying you aren't good enough. The only thing that is stopping you from being the person you want to be is you. Believe in yourself.

My opinion on contested drops:. No one owns anywhere. Part of where you choose to drop should be your ability to fight there NO MATTER the situation. Reason I like tilted/lonely is I can pivot if I'm getting hard contested, but I'm not afraid taking an early fight if needed.

People out here thinking @marshmellomusic doesn't go hard has never seen him play a live set straight up. Anyone who has seen him knows he welcomes everyone in with his own stuff, then proceeds to blow you away with a wide range of music. Definitely an experience worth feeling.
