Over a year ago I stopped playing Overwatch professionally. Since then I've been grinding studies, a life update: - Finished my bachelor's, started master's in economics - Became a TA and will be a RA starting next month - Won an award for third best economics thesis of the year
Last school year I managed to overcome the failures caused by putting all my time into Overwatch. I completed the entirety of YR 2 of my bachelor's in 7 months. This year I'm going to put my all into school and be better than I could have ever dreamt of. Watch me.

Overwatch will always be the game closest to my heart. I'll miss it but this new direction can only improve it's health. Some of my favourite moments captured in pictures:

For all the years of horrible management in Tier 2. Proud of everyone who's standing up for competitive integrity #ContendersStrike

That very bad anti-nuclear Counterpunch repeats a decades-old claim that nuclear power plants have "riddled" Burke, GA with cancer. That's false. 1/8

The overwatch community might have a too trigger happy 'cancel' button. But at least we're not the fucking valorant community
