You could definitely tell back in the day when we worked together there was something unique/special going on with your work ethic and dedication to the game. Awesome to see how far you've come mate! Keep on chipping away
Clicked on this video randomly but one of the most well put together league pieces i've seen in a minute. Rooting for srtty, absolutely deserves a chance on a top team.
Honestly, as an Australian that does not follow LCS or NACL, this is the first I've heard of Srtty. But I'm glad this video has introduced me to his story. Hopefully, he gets signed somewhere come November. Rooting for you from home, Srtty.
The reason why we don't hear these players in our regions because grubby LCS teams snatches them up instantly, it's a constant cycle that we can't ever get out of, hence why OCE teams aren't very good anymore, the dumb Americans will continue to call us trash still not knowing this fact. LCS is straight up a region of imports that can't be bothered to have more than 2 Americans on their teams.
It's pretty obvious from his backstory and his demeanour that he has gone through a lot of dark times. Gonna be rooting for him going forward, especially as a fellow Aussie.
Yeah because NA has little home grown talent so they decide to snatch most of OCE's talented players. Y'all continue to trash on OCE while being ignorant of the fact that yous take our players. 😂
I am so inspired by Srrty's story. For me this is the true meaning of life. So cool he shares his story of not just his success, but his walk in darkness that lead him to a destiny. I don't know if you will see this Srrty, but you are amazing. You will inspire so many people with your story.
Nothing wrong with big ego as long as you see the whole (the team). Many times people are just guilty and callin bullshit at you but my man having ego when you legit the best, is a gift and keep that. That brings you more further combined with a humble mindset in terms of teamspirit. Wish you the best pal.
Sounds like hes been through a lot and has grown a ton. I think teams should seriously consider signing him. Gonna follow his stream and hopefully learn a thing or two
@@shadexia8092 Right? Really unfortunate for him that FLY has both Bwipo and Inspired, as Bwipo could go jungle so he could top, but no one in their right mind is moving or kicking Inspired from a roster spot. Hopefully a different team in the league takes a look at him. I always prefer to see homegrown talent here in NA than an import from the east. The other bad thing is the merger of the league going into next year, essentially there are two less teams to offer him a chance, which also makes other players like Dhokla(who just lost a spot due to NRG leaving the league) competition for a roster spot. The reality of NA league is just really tough for up and coming players, wish they'd just make more teams for the league even after the merger.
I love Bwipo so much, but it depends on what he wants to do for next year. If he retires as a player, I would love it if Bwipo becomes a coach for FLY and Srtty becomes the new Top. But if Bwipo wants to play again, then I truly hope Srtty finds a starting spot in the new LCS next year.
I mean he's going to UCI *and* his streams get like 800 views. The current pay in the LCS is pretty bad right now so finishing his degree *or* becoming a streamer might actually be more future proof compared to an LCS career. I think the average programmer in LA with like 3 or 4 years of experience is making more money than players from bottom fragger orgs like IMT and SR lol.
@@NyangisKhan Obviously playing in the LCS isn't the endgoal for a player like Srtty. If he ends up stomping all or most the players in the LCS, he could eventually get picked up by an European team or perhaps even an Eastern team. The future is extremely bright when you're this fucking cracked at the game. If this plays out, he can definitely make multiple M's throughout his career.
@@Barz4Dice Just watch his games. He'll be at *best* a middle of the pack toplaner in his first year. And maybe grow from there. So basically he'll waste at least an year grinding on minimum. Also an LEC team isn't going to import an NA toplaner. The ERLs overall has better players than the NACL. The only role the NACL has better talent in is Jungle. And that's mostly because of Yuuji.
He has not even close to getting what ego actually is. Anyway he 1000000% deserves to get a top tier offer to be able to compete at a very high level and I wish him the best of luck!
Well, he was exemplifying one of the key characteristics of a healthy ego using himself as an example. While some of what he said might come off as condescending, it's backed up by his concrete achievements which serves as tangible proof of his competence. The word he was looking for was arrogance/egotistical
I played in OCE Season 3 - 5. So haven't heard of this guy before. I remember Raydere was on top back then. Sad he never made it to LCS or Worlds, but I see he's pathed the way for many OCE players.
3-5 was not my time but Shernfire was TL sub or something when Xmithie or Broxah was playing. Dude was, from memory, multiple time Korean rank 1 and by far Oce's best player and maybe the best player in the entirety of NA and was warming the bench for a bit before getting shipped back to play for Direwolves or something. Absolute travesty.
as someone who got paralyzed by a freak accident to two cerebral vertebraes too, I wasnt expecting to have this kind of feels watching this video. (I am okay now like him) amazing video, good luck to him :D
As someone who followed OPL when it was around and LCS since the OPL ended. I recognise the name but only barely. To be fair though I only watch LoL and haven't played it in years so I don't recognise alot of famous solo queue players. That being said I hope he gets a team I always love watching star quality Aussie players.
I admire his competitive spirit. (I also hate for funners more than anything - winning is the fun. nothing else.) That said, I'm not a fan of how his self image is so tied to what ppl think of him and how good he is
Holy shit the chad energy from this guy. Not even the league stuff. As barely a legal adult, he had the clarity of mind to see that he didn't like who he was, and just change himself. I can only dream of having that kind of strength.
With C9 doing a reboot and seemingly trying to follow the model that FLY and TL have laid out (building around young and up coming NA talent), maybe C9 sign SRTT next split? Would love to see a C9 roster of: Top: SRTT Jungle: Blabber or the Top NACL jungle prospect Mid: Korean Import ADC: Korean Import Support: Up and coming NA talent or a top Americas import from LATAM/CBLOL.
Personally I would rather C9 pickup someone like Zven for adc and import a Veteran Korean support. I feel like Support is under valued for what they do for the team specifically because the mechanics of the role are so low. But having a veteran player in a role that has the time to think through macro decisions and can roam the most. Also the NA support pool is completely fucking trash it’s just CoreJJ
@@rylanmarriott8116 I don't mind importing support either, but I'm not a believer in Zven. In my opinion he was a bottom 2 ADC in the LCS last split with Tactical.
@@RomnysGonzalez Yes... There is a new 3rd import slot where you can import a player from the southern conference. I said either sign the best NA support or the best support from CBLOL/LATAM if NACL doesn't have any good support options. Does your tiny brain understand now, or do I need to speak even slower and more clearly?
Crazy that orgs dont sell their t2 players to the community like this more. After watching this I was convinced “this guy should play in LCS” which is crazy. like its great marketing from fly towards the community and to other teams.
This reminds me the situation that T1 was in with Teddy and Guma ,either promote an up incoming player with huge potential or stay with the really good veteran
If for some reason srrty doesn't make it, I hope he rests knowing that he gave it everything he had and was denied an opportunity despite deserving one.
nah this aint confidence. Confidence would be to hold your head up high and say "i am better than x", not "also uhhh btw, i beat king the night before he won LCS, just sayin 😐"
This is whats wrong with a lot of LoL teams, there's a serious adult level lack of marketing. You WANT someone like Srtty in the league cuz the fans already know who he is, and why everyone's talking about him. So you bring someone like him into the league because it injects a shot in the arm of the league as a whole.
we won't have another player like this ever again for NA someone better pick him up while he's in his peak for LCS any team that picks him has a instant ticket to worlds finals anyone who has watched him play knows he's that guy
yo wtf is this guy doin in challenger when players like dhokla, castle, Licorice, Thanatos, Fakegod are playing but this guy that's showing he's the first and only true talent again and again isn't getting a chance is a pathetic a demoralizing to any other up and coming talent. Every yeat NA Tops get Gapped and this guy is the first and only who can not only challenge then but beat them
This is the correct way to have an ego. he knows he is super good and talented and isnt afraid of saying it but if he gets humbled he will take it as a learning opporunity. People should really learn from this guy. Hope he gets a LCS spot
The thing is bwipo brings a lot to a team with his shot calling, experience, and what he offers branding/media wise. I do think srrty is a stronger laner but can't offer those priceless pro qualities
would be sad to see such talent not get signed. wouldnt be a good look for pro LoL either. who would want to try and be a pro player in this game after seeing that even someone like srrty doesnt get signed. best of luck to him

this is exactly what is missing in esports. Amazing interview
Big Srtty fan. I think if FLY doesn’t promote him this offseason he will definitely find another team.
And replace bwipo?

"why cant he make it to the region's highest echelons?"
Imports top laner instead of picking him up for main team.

I hope bwipo stays on fly but let's some young blood come up. Bwipo is such a vibe and certainly is a big reason fly was able to do so well this year.
If this guy doesn't find a team its gonna be criminal.
Hope we see him in LCS
I’m invested
Give him top 👑
nobody even mentioned that this dude looks like deficio xD

Need Srtty on a top team next year.
He could probably join Shopify quite easily next year.

Just remember Australia and New Zealand are 2 different countries.....to call this bloke Australian is like calling an American a Canadian
Sign this guy wtaf

It would actually be a criminal offense if not ONE NA team does not pick up srrty. We have some great homegrown talent and it's being ignored!!

He is such talent, but hard decisions to chose him over Bwibo. But pls do everything you can to bring him on a team
