Just realized, If I were a pro player and checked vlr forums as often as I do, I would have been hella depressed and would have been in existential crisis. Heart goes out to the pros who check vlr forums.
I mean tbh, can't blame them. No one wants to be seen as shit by thousands of people who are supposed to look at you as the pinnacle. That's a lot of pressure that I don't think anyone in these forums ever really realizes, even for people at the top. It's respectable of a lot of them that do not care, but I do not think that should take from the feelings of those who do. Either way, they really should not be reading VLR.
