Promoting positive mental health in esports must be a priority. Sad issues had & will still happen if those in leadership positions & experts don't take it seriously.
Balancing mental health & performance is possible. Not easy but must be a daily task for those in the industry.
Half of the split is over and with the intense schedule this year the stress and pressure starts already to build up for everyone in the league.

I consider our team to have high levels of professionalism and work ethic.
Some of the outside game processes we've been drilling since 2023 and were very important during this MSI run:
- Preparation and gradual adjustment of sleep schedule before traveling to avoid hard
Of course we are disappointed. We thought our efforts finally cracked the code, that it was our time to win it all, that it was doable. Eliminating T1 would have been the incredible start of a glorious and legendary weekend. But those recent wins were only a few steps forward, to
Today we enjoy this massive victory but in a few hours we reset physically and mentally for our next match.

It's a very sad ending to the year.
Competition doesn't wait or forgive and if you are not ready when it matters, you are simply out.
I'm still proud of what we achieved, created & develop this year & grateful for working with a fantastic group of people and players. 😓
The accountability check has definitely helped to improve the quality and quantity of practice. Avoiding cancels has pushed forward teams to find intention for practice.
He is truly the 🐐
He's working so much on himself this year, getting out of his comfort and doing everything to make sure he is at his best.
Not too many people are willing take that step.
After many ups and downs for many of us, I can finally say that everything has been entirely worth it.
Happy times right now, but it's just the first mountain we have successfully reached on our long journey ahead.
Happy to be part of

Being a pro comes with constant outside criticism, toxicity, & high pressure.

Guys the super team idea is a narrative! I can't take seriously those in the scene thinking we are a super team. Even so, any team needs time to learn how to play together and to win games. Sad to see the lack of understanding from some about performance in the scene.

Our guys talking about those mental approaches we've worked on and implemented, like "being in the present" or "the blue zone" could be so valuable as it could bring curiosity to other players and coaches to pay

We have good learnings from this regular split. We still building the foundations of the team to make sure that we are strong when matters the most.
Oh yeah, we went to Padel and had a tourney. These two beasts made it to the final. Who do you think won?
We lost against a strong opponent but we fought until the end. I'm proud of the improvements we've been doing on how the boys behave (communication/attitude) in-game and between the games.
We continue learning and moving forward!

I am only grateful to work with this fantastic group of professionals. They are ambitious & willing to put in the effort to get out of their comfort zone to achieve things people say they cannot reach. This is just a stepping stone in our journey. We continue growing.
Perfectly describes how we all feel and think about our year ending this way.
When you dream big followed by an ambitious and determined attitude, the disappointment of not meeting those expectations can be hard. However, this creates an even more drive to do better next time.
Sorry. We are so ashamed and disappointed. All this hard work for not even making it to quarter finals. What a terrible way to end the year. The harsh reality of competition humbled us right in the face. In 1 full year, G2 took only 5 nexus to LCK & LPL. FIVE. That's not even 2
We had great preparation during the last few weeks. Adapted well to the new environment, practiced purposefully, and built and reinforced habits that could get us closer to achieving our team's dream.
It will be challenging and sometimes won't be pretty, but we are ready.

It's always hard to know which coaching staff is the best out there, as we don't have visibility to assess that.

Glad to share the room and this journey w/ you boys 🫡
On a serious note, glad we reached the finish line with a trophy and that the boys push through everything this split. BUT, it's good to have a few days off to rest and recover physically and mentally.
Oh yeah we made it to worlds 🤗

Sometimes you learn more from losing than winning.
We're just not good enough at the moment to reach the top. We had good progress but not as fast as we'd like to. This isn't the first time my team has fallen short to then come back stronger. We focus now on what's important, and its to get better for summer split.

Our foundations and systems paid their dividends during this finals. Resilience, togetherness, leadership, and a great mindset let us lift this trophy.
This is such a powerful message!
A common approach of sports psychologists in competitive domains is to help players detach themselves from elements they can't control and avoid letting performance outcomes determine their identity or happiness.
In elite esports, this is

's philosophy: "In the past, all I wanted was to win, and I was only happy when I had won. Recently, I had this goal -- I wanted to detach my happiness from winning or losing [...] We do not have full decision over what happens in the future.."

Lots of things going on behind the scenes. We continue discovering new ways to challenge and adjusting our processes. Now we have this week to prepare one Final series.
We dropped some games during the regular split, but we learned very important lessons that will make us a better team.
Also, my team likes to punish me when we play vs my former teams, RGE and VIT😑. Maybe I will add a cheeky 5min more daily breathing exercise, so the pain is
