Wow, 40L under 40. My best was 57 on Jstris 😭. Though with players my level, I usually focus on downstacking their spikes, so I'm more efficient than fast.

My hands almost never get hurt, it only does after like 10 ranked games?

Used to play lots of bf1, but it wasn't really gaming sessions, the game was whether the keyboard and mouse would survive for the next session. So now I'm out of performance mice and keyboards and don't want to spend more on stuff that won't last.

I see, how much stuff did you use up?

hard to say. there were 3 of us who ranked consistently in the top20 on garena at dota. we were also getting top finishes at regional cs tournaments. but the pro scene wasn't a thing yet. compared to the good players from today, i'd say we were mediocre at best. but then again, everyone was trash back then ) (compared to now).

i play warthunder for keeping my response time up and mtga because mtg is the only game i still play competitively.

World of tanks, valorant, cs a lot of stuff

Played a lot of nintendo when I was in my early teens, discovered online gaming in 2002 with Diablo 2 and played that for two years with many lvl 99 characters on online hardcore mode, then got into competitive gaming from attending local lans with friends. One of my friends who I played soccer with was on the national team in Counter-Stike 1.6. I also heard about high level Quake. I had a collection of "frag movies", kinda like skating culture. Most people didnt know what e-sport was at that time. In 2004, I joined a Danish clan in Soldier of Fortune 2 and I competed at a high level on clanbase (website) for two years. The idea was that this was a game similar to Counter-Strike, but in the Quake-engine. The game never really took off in the e-sports scene, so when Valve released Counter-Strike: Source, I started a team of some of the best SoF 2 players from Sweden. We traveled around Europe to compete at tournaments, I entered the Norwegian national team and at some point I was signed with Team Dignitas. But I was starting to get too old to compete with the young players coming in. Some of the players who I played Counter-Strike with went on to form the new Ninjas in Pyjamas team in Counter Strike Go. These days, only a few players recognize my nickname from the old days, but I was blessed with being part of the start of e-sports. I only play chess on the computer now, but I hold the love for team games alive with table tennis.

Played 10+ League of legends 5+ Hearthstone. Now when I play its on my Switch. Finished Hollow Knight 1 and now started playing TOTK. But I am getting old - so I don't enjoy as much gaming as I used to or because I stopped playing competitive games (toxic environment) single player games don't get me addictive I need competition and if its in RL even better (like table tennis)

 

[PenHoldSandro]

Wow, all of yall are stacked with gaming achievements! I thought I was the only one lol HAHAHAHA

@z0uLess, absolutely amazing story you have there

did you play quake live aswell?

I dabbled in duels. Its a beautiful game with how you have to flow through the levels and be spacially aware of all the angles and timing your opponent and items. I attended one local competition in Quake 3, but I had no chance against the experienced players, so I let it be a side-thing I did with my clan mates to keep my aim fresh ;-)

... its basically and anti-camper game ;D;D but, oh man the fragmovie scene i Quake 3 was insane <3

I was quite active in quake live around 2009-2011, dueling and also playing ctf pickup on IRC.
not sure if I saw you around there but I feel like I might have. anyway, thanks for sharing your story

I didn't use them up, I threw them against the wall or desk. Half of these was curtesy of league. About 5 of each.
