You wake up, you turn your computer on, you type your password in, you click on the red V icon that's on your desktop, click on the competitive Tab, and you click the giant start button that has been itching at you to click since you first woke up. And it's been like that for a while now, hasn't it? Do you remember the first time you heard of Valorant? Your friends were all talking about it, telling you to download and try it. You finally decided to download it, and you begin playing with your friends and having the best time that you've had in a long, long time. Let's move closer to the present. Spent all of your free time grinding this game, trying to max out the battle pass and unlock all the agent contracts. Your friends have all gone back to doing other things that they enjoy; they play other games or do other hobbies, while you're still playing the game they were desperately trying to get you to download. You grow tired of casually playing the game, and you start to take it a little more seriously. You dedicate countless hours to aim training and practicing the game, desperately trying to achieve a higher rank. The competitive itch keeps growing, and you want nothing more than to be the best player that you can possibly be. But the better you get, you begin to start facing more skillful opponents. You become obsessed with trying to fix every minor flaw in your gameplay so you can be one step closer to finally achieving your goal of the rank. You finally reached the rank that you've dedicated thousands of hours of your time to. All of the hard work that you put in finally paid off. Even with all of those times that you wanted to quit, you still managed to achieve the one thing you thought was impossible. But what do you have to show for all of your hard work? When you look back on your biggest accomplishments, is that rank really one of them? After all of the time that you put into practicing and training, after watching countless videos and guides on how to improve, did you learn something that's going to benefit you for the rest of your life? Even with all of the sacrifices that you made and all of the time that you dedicated to achieve your goal, there is one question you need to ask yourself, and you may not have just one answer: Would you do it again? Would you get out of bed every day with the only thought in your mind being to grind the game, finding any possible way to get better? Would you spend all of that time aim training and fixing every imperfection in your gameplay? Would you spend all of those hours binge-watching hundreds of thousands of videos on YouTube trying to understand every aspect of the game, ditch all those other opportunities so you could spend more time trying to achieve your goal of finally hitting a certain rank? For some people, this question may be easy, but for others, this question may have multiple complex answers that lead in all sorts of different directions. But regardless of what your answers may be, everyone watching this needs to know this video isn't meant to bash anyone. It's simply to ask, was it worth it?
