00:00:00
what's up guys just a bit of a different
00:00:02
video today um I felt compelled to
00:00:06
record something just because I haven't
00:00:09
talked to a lot of you guys in a in a
00:00:10
while um you know I haven't streamed as
00:00:12
much this month uh as many of you know I
00:00:15
was traveling to India I came back I was
00:00:18
Ill with
00:00:19
covid um and after that I was sick with
00:00:22
some other things which which I'll get
00:00:23
into in a little bit but what's really
00:00:25
exciting is that I'm moving to London um
00:00:28
I'm actually going to be playing for
00:00:30
noun orts um one of the best teams
00:00:32
historically in Europe comprised of some
00:00:35
really good friends that I've made while
00:00:37
being in the unite community and one of
00:00:39
my really old longtime friends as well
00:00:41
in tlim so it's a journey that I'm
00:00:44
really excited about um I'm excited to
00:00:46
share it with you for those of you that
00:00:49
have been following this channel since
00:00:51
the early days the purpose of my YouTube
00:00:53
channel genuinely and all the content I
00:00:56
make my stream my Twitter everything I
00:00:59
do was simply to document my journey as
00:01:02
a competitive player um I I always
00:01:06
focused on making content just as a
00:01:08
means to continue competing as opposed
00:01:11
to the other way around um halfway
00:01:14
through my journey though things changed
00:01:17
um I felt like I didn't have the
00:01:20
opportunity to compete at a level and in
00:01:23
an environment that I wanted basically I
00:01:25
didn't have an opportunity to play with
00:01:27
friends which I discovered throughout
00:01:29
about my uni Journey was important to me
00:01:32
I like playing with my friends and it's
00:01:35
all I really wanted to do and now that I
00:01:36
have an opportunity to do that again I'm
00:01:38
going to be pursuing it um but yeah I I
00:01:42
don't really know the purpose of this
00:01:44
video I think it'll be titled just
00:01:46
something for my followers I don't want
00:01:49
to alarm any of you I know I've
00:01:50
mentioned I'm sick a little bit and in
00:01:53
fact I guess it's a good idea to share
00:01:55
with you what inspired me to want to
00:01:57
make just a quick video updating you all
00:02:01
um you know I saw this Vlog Brothers
00:02:03
video pull up on my Channel or on my
00:02:05
feed and I watched a bit of it and and
00:02:08
something that that that Hank says here
00:02:10
really resonated with me showing
00:02:12
weakness I don't think I'm afraid to be
00:02:14
weak I think I'm ashamed to be weak I
00:02:16
feel and if if you didn't catch what he
00:02:19
said he's not
00:02:21
afraid to be weak but he's afraid to
00:02:25
show that he's weak you know and and to
00:02:27
admit it and I guess in a way I kind of
00:02:30
I felt that way through this last month
00:02:32
or so um obviously being sick with Co
00:02:35
sucks it happens um but as I was coming
00:02:39
back from India I caught some kind of um
00:02:42
infection stomach flu type situation
00:02:46
which without grossing you too much with
00:02:48
the details um I've had a tough time me
00:02:51
and the bathroom have had an interesting
00:02:53
relationship and you know normally these
00:02:55
types of episodes if you've ever had the
00:02:57
stomach flu they last maybe a day
00:03:00
sometimes they get better in a day at
00:03:01
most two maybe three days but I've had
00:03:04
it pretty much constant for 3 weeks now
00:03:07
um it got better and then it got a lot
00:03:10
worse um and like I said it feels almost
00:03:14
shameful to admit but I I had to go to
00:03:16
the ER twice in the last couple days um
00:03:20
seen countless number of doctors and you
00:03:22
know before I before I get on I don't
00:03:23
want to scare any of you um we did CT
00:03:27
scans we did different uh you know stool
00:03:30
tests and everything um doesn't appear
00:03:33
to be anything too major that I can't
00:03:35
just recover from um with some
00:03:38
medication and just some rest over time
00:03:40
I am going to be okay but you know it's
00:03:43
O it's okay I think to say or not okay
00:03:46
and yeah I just I wanted to update you
00:03:49
guys I really care about the content
00:03:51
that I make I really appreciate the
00:03:53
community that I have around me and I'm
00:03:55
excited for you guys to follow my
00:03:56
journey this year I'm going to be moving
00:03:58
in with Prov in a couple days I fly two
00:04:02
nights from now um I bought a new
00:04:05
headset so I'm not going to have this
00:04:06
beautiful mic that I have but I have a
00:04:08
new wireless headset that I'll be able
00:04:10
to use while I'm in the UK if I walk
00:04:12
around to brvs room you know my mic will
00:04:14
be connected I guess I might be kind of
00:04:16
funny um I think I'm going to try to
00:04:19
take my webcam with me if it doesn't
00:04:21
work the laptop will will suffice but
00:04:24
br's got a little monitor set up for me
00:04:26
let me show you actually give you a
00:04:27
sneak prak of what br set up for me and
00:04:31
I think I'm really happy with it I know
00:04:34
it might not seem like the best setup
00:04:36
but we're going to make it our own um
00:04:38
he's got a monitor for me so I don't
00:04:39
need to pack that for myself he bought
00:04:42
me a Dyson vacuum now I think he's just
00:04:44
he's just chilling with that um and yeah
00:04:48
I'll have my laptop somewhere here I'll
00:04:50
have a keyboard uh Mouse Monitor and
00:04:54
everything when I was doing some streams
00:04:56
on the road before it was you know me
00:04:58
playing on a phone didn't have a laptop
00:05:00
I didn't have a monitor so it's a lot
00:05:01
harder to read chat and I I know the
00:05:04
stream you know didn't feel like they
00:05:08
their normal selves while I was away um
00:05:10
but this time while I'm going to be with
00:05:11
brav I've learned a lot of good things
00:05:13
um the streams I promise will be much
00:05:16
better um and yeah I'll be stream if
00:05:19
you're watching this on the 26th I'll be
00:05:21
streaming tonight um not sure how many
00:05:24
streams I'm going to be able to get in
00:05:26
truthfully um just cuz I'm going to be
00:05:28
packing and whatnot and
00:05:30
you know I I didn't want the nature of
00:05:31
this video to be what I see some
00:05:33
YouTubers do when they post you know why
00:05:36
I haven't been posting a lot even though
00:05:39
that's kind of what this ended up being
00:05:41
um I just felt so many of you support me
00:05:44
whether it's financially through
00:05:46
memberships on this YouTube channel Subs
00:05:48
on my twitch through donations through
00:05:50
bits through boosting our Discord server
00:05:53
which you're not a part of the Discord
00:05:54
server it's been more active and Lively
00:05:57
the less that I stream I guess you guys
00:05:59
are craving a little bit of that
00:06:01
camaraderie that you normally get within
00:06:02
the chat um but yeah you guys are so
00:06:06
active within all my communities I
00:06:07
really do appreciate it and just wanted
00:06:10
to take this moment stop smell the roses
00:06:13
say thank you to all to all of you um
00:06:17
and if any of you are ever unwell if
00:06:19
you're ever sick make sure you reach out
00:06:21
to someone you know whether might be a
00:06:23
physical ailment something mentally I
00:06:25
think getting help and admitting that
00:06:28
you need help can be the toughest thing
00:06:30
which was hard for me and you know
00:06:32
thankfully I did and I have some good
00:06:34
people around me um that that pushed me
00:06:37
to do that and I'm feeling a lot better
00:06:39
now so yeah I tried to end this video
00:06:42
like two or three times so this is going
00:06:43
to be the end got to get it under 8
00:06:45
minutes so you don't get too many ads
00:06:47
thank you guys and I'll see you on the
00:06:48
streams
