I’ll preface this by saying I had varied levels of success while competing.

But something I see more and more is a lack of leadership in young teams in esports.

In the middle-late time of me competing, I was blessed to be surrounded by insanely talented mechanical players.

My teammates were simply better than me, and in a community like valorant that commonly caters towards individual performance this would normally lead most people to feel insecure.

That was not the case with me. In this time, I leveled up not as a player, but a teammate, leader, and mentor to my teammates. I learned how to elevate my teammates, lift them up when their heads were down, and be the mediator and leader when arguments would arise and guide my team towards solutions.

My biggest accomplishments and wins came from probably my lowest point as a player and I attribute that to mostly my teammates who carried me lol, but also to my ability to adapt, change, and grow not even as a teammate or a leader, but a person.

I guess the TLDR would be that as you maintain your mechanical skills in game, you also put conscious effort into how you are as a teammate and to find ways to be a leader for your team. At the end of the day, the best winners are people who make the teammates around them better, not just themselves.

Just some random thoughts while at work lmfao
