Most struggling players, whether they’re amateurs or professionals who never reach their true potential, fail for the same reason.
They are simply not adapted to the reality of what it takes to become a champion.
They still believe that being good at the game is enough to achieve their goals.
As a result, they ignore the behaviors that are quietly destroying their chances of succeeding:
- they tilt over trivial things
- they lose motivation every time they face another obstacle
- they treat their teammates poorly because they believe being right justifies their behavior during conflicts
- they blame external factors for poor performances instead of taking full responsibility
This mismatch between who they are and what the environment demands shapes the way they see the world.
And that distorted perspective prevents them from improving at the pace required to reach the highest level.
How to know if you are not adapted to your ambition?
Do you recognize yourself in any of the following?
The more boxes you check, the more likely you are to stay stuck.
- you hate losing. Every defeat hurts, and you’re even proud of it because you think it proves how much you care
- you get frustrated whenever you play badly or your teammates make mistakes
- you blame external factors whenever you lose: your teammates, the game’s balance, the META, the lack of professionalism in esports…
- you play to win (this one is incredibly counterintuitive, yet it destroys your chances of succeeding)
- your confidence collapses whenever you perform poorly
- you take breaks whenever training becomes too difficult or uncomfortable
- you focus exclusively on the game. You neglect your personal brand, your visibility, your mental performance, your recovery, and your overall development. In other words, you’re still living like a gamer who never left their bedroom instead of becoming a professional
The list goes on, but these traits alone are enough to prevent almost anyone from building a successful career.
How is hating losing going to prevent me from succeeding?
Most people in esports say they “hate losing” just because it became cool after hearing a few NBA interviews where the greatest athletes said so.
The problem is, these athletes didn’t just say that.
To be more precise, these NBA athletes said “I hate losing, therefore, I do everything I can to prevent that:
- I add extra training
- I watch more tapes of my games so I can better understand my mistakes
- I design specific training so I train the best I can
- I improve my recovery to prevent injuries
But in esports, people didn’t keep that second part. They just kept the “I hate losing” so they can become cool.
And because of that, when they lose:
- they get upset and frustrated
- they blame others for their own shortcomings
- they reject any form of responsibility in their failures
- and they just launch another game without even understanding what went wrong
How much do you care about learning, about getting better when you are upset and frustrated? You don’t care at all.
How much do you learn from your mistakes when you blame others for your losses? You don’t learn anything.
How much do you learn when you reject your responsibility in your lack of results? You learn nothing.
And how much do you learn when you just automatically launch games after games after games, and call that training? You learn to waste your time.
So yeah, you may believe that “hating losing” is a sign that you care a lot. But in reality, it’s just a sign that you will fail miserably by learning absolutely nothing.
How do I work concretely?
To keep it simple, I change the way you train everyday so that you can learn way faster and play way better, no matter the circumstances you are in.
I remind you of your actual goal: becoming a champion. And I also destroy all the distractions that you may have and that will make you waste your time, such as winning games nobody cares about.
If you want to know what you are doing wrong today, while being convinced that you are on the right path, you can check my videos that are available below:
Your videos are too long, can’t you make them shorter?
The failure rate in esports is about 99.99%.
If you want to succeed, you have to be part of the 0.01% of people who make it.
Do you believe that you will be part of the “Elite of the Elite” by watching 5-minute videos on YouTube?
At some point, you have to decide who you want to be in this life.
And if watching a 30-minute video where you will learn so much that you willl save 5 years of your life is too much to ask from you, yeah, let’s face it, you failed already and you are a waste of time for others.
Sorry I can’t tell you this nicely. At some point you need to understand that making a career in esports is an actual job, and not just a hobby where you will be paid.
