TH, YOU DESERVE TO LOSE EVERY SINGLE GAME FROM NOW UNTIL YOUR DISBAND

THE WORST DECISION IVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
IM 100% SURE MINIBOO IS AGAINST THIS

YOU HAD THE POTENTIAL TO WIN SHANGAI
A SUB CHANGES THE ENTIRE TEAM DYNAMIC

THATS WHY YOU LOST TO A TEAM LIKE SEN IN MADRID, BECAUSE YOU HAD A SUB

YOU ARE LITERALLY BRAINDEAD, ITS CRAZY

YOU SABOTAGED EMEA
YOU DESTROYED NAVI AND KC CHANCES OF QUALIFYING JUST TO ATTEND THE EVENT WITH A SUB AND WITHOUT YOUR MAIN DUELIST

DONT tell me a bunch of exams (which you could certainly do later if you contact your school) is more important than a once in lifetime opportunity to play at an international event (TH was my favorite team to win the event btw)

You not only ruined miniboo's career but also the 4 other players. THIS IS ABSURD
if you want to be the best at something you have to sacarifice something. this is how life works

zekken played the game while doing highschool, thats pretty normal.
also its funny cause pros last year asked for more games and then they complain about burnout.

Yes, e-sports is not a stable career. It's a bit of a coin-flip. It is a good idea to have at least some formal education as backup.

They arent just random tests, they are national exams that cant be put off and he has to one for every subject that he has selected to pursue. The grades he gets ar final and CANNOT be rewritten, if u do bad you wont get into a University or if u do you wont be studying any high level subjects.

dude why the fk would he give national exams now? he has a career in esports ahead of him. He is wasting his time, since even if he passes to a good school there would be no reason to attend it since he already has a high paying job in esports. He can do those exams at age 30 if he wants.

Do you know that for sure? Because in a lot of countries, you can't just do your highschool exams whenever you want. If you don't do them at the scheduled time, you'd have to go through the whole last 2 years of secondary education again (in some countries).

Also it's easy to get into one uni subject at age 30 because university programmes start from the ground up. It's a lot harder to do several high school exams in various different subjects that you haven't studied in 12 years, because they expect prior knowledge from the last couple years of high school.

Missing out on one tourney isn't a big deal. Pretty much every player has missed out on at least one.

Career in esports--> 10 years max, income highly dependent on performance.
Actual job--> Lifelong. Income stable.

Miniboo has his head screwed on right.

im not saying its ruining his career. im saying its useless since he wont go to college anyway, so why waste his time with the exams now? rather than take them when he is done with esports?

No he can't do those exams at 30 bro, you probably don't remember shit of anything at all. You can do college later because it's more specific but not this type of exam. He needs to finish this and then he can wait to get into college if that's what he wants

Most likely the exams miniboo has to take are his finals or end of the year tests. its not as simple as contacting his school about moving the testing date. depending on what year he is in for school, these tests could set him up with what he wants to do in life... if you start to hate a team over something as small as the org letting one of their players succeed outside the game, you were never a fan of Team Heretics at all.

Zekkens case is a lot different where i assume most of the time zekken could fly back and forth between matches for tests that were on weekdays and be back in time for the match. zekken didn't have to travel multiple hours to a different country to play his matches. get a grip on life outside valorant.

"100% sure miniboo is against this" brotha, he said himself on twitter he needs a break he is literally 18 years of age. He needs time to regain some passion for competing and in that time he will focus on studying for these extremely important exams!! his teammates are fine with it and understanding, overall everyone (EXCEPT YOU) are being understanding of the situation!

Until I read this comment, I thought you were a troll. Now I realize you're just a piece of shit. Life is not just about valorant.

I don't think you know shit about sacrificing things for a career if you're suggesting someone not prioritize their basic secondary education. Even zywoo, easily one of if not the biggest name in counterstrike, skipped events to prioritize finishing their basic ed.

Good for zekken, that makes him the exception, not the rule though. He's also in an entirely different part of the world, so maybe there's a contrast between the intensity of curriculi, restrictions on exemptions from classes, among other things.

Seriously, you've either gotta be a naive teenager, or a man-child. I haven't prayed since I was a young catholic schoolboy, but tonight, ill be praying for you. Live well.

May I ask what you do for a job, or what your education was?

I have a BA myself, and I won't necessarily get something linked to the field it was in, im doing a technical degree in college now. So ill admit that not all uni degrees are useful.

However, AI becoming as widespread in its influence today only bolsters how important STEM jobs are now and will be in the future. You need good grades for those fields, and it'll be more competitive as post-secondary populations expand. I took sociology, a subject I'm pretty grateful to have taken because it gave me a good worldview on things. You seem like a lot of people in my program who were just downright cynical in how they saw the world.

Hope I'm wrong. Otherwise, enjoy bouncing on the social safety net.
