Quotes
-
Before you think about playing a character… figure out who the main characters are [in the meta]. Don’t go for the situational characters, go straight for the main characters… Secondly, watch videos of professional players in that role. Something huge that I did… when I came into the competitive scene,… I came in as a mid-player, had to switch to support because of team reasons. You know what I did? I watched hours of Jeff Hindla and ShadowQ footage, because at the time, they were the best support the game had to offer… [I watched] their positioning, who were they playing, what are they buying so I got my build down. Those were all very important and those are the best things you can possibly do to learn a new role.

Being a sub is a great way to get into the competitive scene. So, get high in rank, play with players, network with players, sub for a team, if you can, be friendly, be pro-active and don’t be a [jerk] in rank. If you’re a [jerk] in rank, I’m telling you now, they’re not going to pick you up to be on a team, because nobody wants to have a [jerk] on their team.
