    Freak motivates me to hit the gym and finding a balance where i can improve in CS and still get mental and physical gains in the gym while being social irl. I went from a Silver 3 scrub with a skinny body to Global and above average strenght and at least some muscle in the gym in 2 years from 16-18 yrs old. Now im 20 and im still grinding both. I must say thanks to Ryan honestly, what a great inspiration.

      @@HahnGFX Actually its not vanity at all you completely misunderstood where I was coming from. The point is that "geeky" people are often overly intellectual and they are less in tune with their physical bodies and reflexes. In order for an athlete to perform they must be 100 percent in the moment where as intellectuals are always thinking. It is a simple generalization but it is true, the greatest athletes in grade school rarely had geeky personalities and the geeks were very rarely good at sports. Hence it fits in with the idea that CS is truly sport like. It was an insight on the nature of character that went right over your head.

    Freaks new more mature and better mindset glows off him so much. Such a good thing for him to overcome his weaknesses about gamesense and personality ingame. The way he said about aim that "its just work" made realize that now he really gets it what CS is truly about. At the very end its all about chemistry and getting the most of each invidiual in your team while maintaining clear vision about the goals to reach step by step.
    Always wished the best for freak because of his genuinity.
