Time to speak out on this. With all of our success as a team my name is never thrown around as "Best Coach in Gears" My win record is unmatched, my players believe in me as a valuable asset towards our success, and I 100% outplayed every pick/ban process this event. I AM the best

The breakdown @iLLeYCOD just had vs @ShockSZN just now might need to be studied.

So excited to join forces with the Halo GOATS and to represent @TOXGamingGG at the ELeague Invitational! These guys have been awesome to give us a temporary home for the weekend while we continue our hunt for a long term org. Shout out to @SnakeBiteFPS for working with me on this
That's right, the greatest Gears team of all time have joined forces with one of Halo’s legendary teams for the weekend! Support us at the @ELEAGUETV Invitational this Saturday and Sunday.

Players across esports need to take notes from @OpTic Halo’s team. Their placements this year went from 1st to 3rd to 5/6th to 4th to 1st.
They didn’t make roster changes or snake each other, they stuck out the tough times and worked together to improve and get back on top. GGs

OpTic means so much to me than just the name of an org. It represented dreams and goals and the culmination of a small group working hard together. I got a small taste of my dream job and it made me want more. The Eavesdrop tore me up because of how much this all means to me.

Owned and operated a donut shop to make a little money while finishing my degree online and coaching a group of young kids in Gears while streaming 5 days a week and uploading to YouTube daily just to try to make this a career.

There are a lot of things I want to say but I’ll try to keep in professional.
I wasn’t a top player in Gears but I still played an integral part in an incredible dynasty that won 22 championships across 3 Gears titles.
I’m trash at Halo but just placed top 6 at my first event as a coach with a brand new roster of amazing players who can all gun me with their eyes closed.
Having the ability to understand how a game should be played, how a team can operate, how to teach players and optimize performances, how to create growth and break ceilings, and so much more that comes with being a GOOD coach has nothing to do with how well I can move my thumbs.
I earn the respect of my teammates as their coach because I bring value and have an open dialogue where we help each other improve. I’m not always right, nor are they. But we are working to improve each other.
I feel bad for people who have the same mindset as Slacked in this quote because it means they never had a good enough coach to show them differently 🤷🏻♂️
Slacked speaks out about coaches in CoD.
“If you have zero experience, how are you telling me what to do?”

Dear Gears Teams,
Unless a great offer from a reputable org comes along IN WRITING, I would suggest you wait a little. You will have much more value and negotiating power if you are qualified for the Pro League and show you have a stable roster past week 1 of Gears 5.

Gears Teams,
Pay attention to what happened Wednesday. Two talented young players who have been dropped from multiple teams subbed in with us and dominated the finals. They played with confidence and leadership and were gods

We sucked when it mattered and didn’t play how we know we can. It’s awful to lose that way but we will bounce back better. I still love my team and am proud of them. We lost together which will make our comeback together that much sweeter.
GGs to Mazer and everyone else!
