I remember being a professional gamer. I remember playing Uber Watch. I even remember the feeling of desperation, about to be replaced as the main team DPS for the league.
I was already 29 turning 30 and due to my vices, I was already feeling weak in several places in my body. Even though I play many Uber Watch heroes, I only play one and only ONE DPS hero and that is Genzo. Of course they would replace someone like me.
Why Genzo though? Why, of course his play style and character is top notch. He's a katana-using bad-ass cyborg-ninja. His model looks awesome, just look at that sexy Medieval Knight Helmet looking visor and looks at that KATANA (this needs repeating because it's important).
He looks awesome, He plays awesome, and most of all, He's awesome to watch when someone bad-ass plays him.
The problem is that his style is not in META anymore. Some people even wonder why they still keep him in the roster. At the current moment, you can only see Genzo players in Quick Play.
And since the only DPS I play is Genzo even to this day, I couldn't tolerate the current state of the game. I want to bring him again to the forefront of the gaming scene as the top DPS hero.
Of course the team manager could not tolerate with my attitude and of course I understand where they are coming from. Being stubborn with my belief would not bring them wins and obviously, would not bring them money.
But I was desperate.
This desperation drove me to train and train and train myself in with Genzo for more than a week without breaks. I did not heed my friend's advice to stop and retire. I still feel my reflexes sharpen and my senses stretch to the limit. I feel like if I played more, I would achieve enlightenment.
I think I felt it at the time, the sense of freedom. I guess this is what they call the state of Nirvana. I didn't think I would be able to achieve this while playing games.
I can only feel serenity, the sense of being one with yourself. I felt like I was floating in the air...
...Wait.
Wait a damn minute.
What enlightenment? What serenity?
I don't feel my body rather, I don't feel anything anymore!
I'm a slightly unhealthy 29 year old guy of Caucasian origin. I'm a 6-year professional Uber Watch player. My name is...
I DON'T REMEMBER MY NAME!?
