From his gameplay u can tell he has adhd, not from his streams though. I've seen a lot of people struggle with adhd and i know its hard because you can see the person cant stay still in a chair while watching something or just get overly excited over nothing.. I never seen him do that

Also he zones out of angles I have ADHD and I can't stay still and hold and angle but I'm not sure if tenz has the same thing

Tenz has said that he sucks at holding angles and that could be because adhd really kills your patience to sit and look at an angle for a period of time

Always clicking buttons, shooting even before round starts, switching guns, always moving around, trying to make sudden flashy plays, etc

Ok, follow my thought process... I'll try to be a bit more thorough...

Typical ADHD symptoms stack that can affect one in the game --> fidgeting/impatience, and difficulty of: organizing tasks, remembering, following through, sustaining attention, etc.

Previously observed links - also affect one in the game:

  • Stress levels are higher in those who have ADHD.
  • ADHD symptoms can be aggravated by stress, producing a vicious cycle.
  • The link between stress, ADHD and depression is undeniably there, but differs.

One more thing: depression/stress/anxiety can all exacerbate ADHD symptoms --> further overloading one's mental condition. And, assuming provided info on his SO, the cause of depression could be considered as there imho = he's going through a lot more mental turmoil than someone without ADHD would be experiencing right now. -- that's a lot to handle, ngl.

The catch (which is assumed): It is widely advised to vent about past hardships, in order to lighten up. This is a type of treatment aimed at assisting people with ADHD (or not) in moving on to the next stage of their lives. Hence, that interview could be viewed as part of venting out, and legit responsibility to tell his fans that he is trying to overcome such hardships - he had not quit the game - responsible lad!

P.S. The interview should not be viewed as an attempt to make an excuse, but rather inform his fans on the state of things. I'm simply adding here this very obvious sentence just in case, if that was unclear. <-- who knows, right?

"struggle" "tenz" cannot be in same sentence. My goat doesn't feel emotions, he is a machine.

All I'm saying is there's a lotta people out there experiencing stuff as well but they don't talk about it much. That's why I tip my hat to bcj for giving 0 excuses while competing at such a high level. All love.

tenz has never made any excuses nor addressed any of the massive hate he has received and has taken it on the chin.

but yes call this reflective article an “excuse”

also one persons pain/situation doesn’t take away from tenz’s. if you want unadulterated complaining, go watch babyj. thank you.

I mean the first sentence was fine but the "0 excuses" part is questionable. Nowhere in OP's post did he say adhd was an excuse, just that tenz had it. Unnecessary comment to make tbh.

different people lead different lives, not everyone can be "strong" and just lead a normal life when their significant other has cancer also if this is ur arguement then bcj made a whole ass movie thing about his life and tenz has yet to talk about how much his life was affected when kyedae got cancer, this is just unwarranted bullshit from ur part

My dad had cancer for 12 years and he still kept working his ass off to provide for the family. Other people who have adhd and even disabled individuals still have to go to their regular jobs to feed their families. Generation nowadays is too fucking soft to accept that the world is savage, and it doesn't matter how old are, what disabilities you have, end of the day you have to get shit done or no one else will. Look around you. You can't just expect people to watch and read stuff like this and be like "awww poor them, that's so sweet, what a story" when there's literally millions of people out there who are in the worse condition and still not getting credit for getting shit done whatever it takes. Dude is literally paid almost more than anyone could earn around here to play a video game. People have to stop romanticizing stuff like this.

its not a competition on who suffers more. i agree completely with you that people shouldnt feel this much empathy for someone who clearly doesnt need it. but again there would be reason for someone to be so invested in a celebrity other than having too much free time.
Sorry about your father

ur making it a competition for no reason, read what i said properly, its not about you or anything related to u its about how he feels just coz someone can deal with it doesnt mean everyone can you are bullshitting more and more if u think everyone can handle a certain situation in the same manner

also wtf is this bs??? tenz literally never complained or cried about it, he literally stepped in for a game when he had covid and a finger injury, it was kyedae who talked about it plus he literally did everything he had too, you are making this way too deep tenz never gave up he had so many times where he couldve just pulled a newzera and just left but he didnt, he worked hard they were scrimming like crazy like no other teams, stop the slander and let him live his lives he was interviewed and he answered questions how tf does that mean that hes "complaining"

T0nz the bot giving another bunch of excuses for being massively inconsistent at the one thing he does LMFAO
hope he gets dropped from SEN, lil bro is holding back sacy and pAncada
Do feel bad for him though, having your SO in a terrible state really sucks hope they find some peace and kyedae recovers . they could prolly join 100T as duo content creators in the future
