Ever since I began actively watching RL tourneys I've always wanted to take part in one. Not just RLCS but something as minor as a local LAN tournament. Hitting Champion rank is also a long term goal for me, as I find GC a bit intimidating for someone still learning fast paced plays.
I've been playing since its release however I've only played about 500 hours total and been going hard at it in recent years. Current rank is Platinum 2 and actively learning to better my mechanical abilities and team plays. I've always loved watch RLCS and highly admire Cloud9 as a team, and individual players such as the original G2 team (Kronovi, JKnaps, Rizzo), and jstn. Over the recent 3 years of playing RL on and off, I've mostly played with my brother who we both strived to mechanically grow and played Doubles. Within the past few months I've switched to trying to play more Standard as it's the "proper competitive game mode".
