Making Your Brand Or Competing?

Can you really do both? I mean, one is bound to be left behind or you're gonna burn out, no?

I mean, NA being called the content region is somewhat true cuz the top players here always try to build up their brand. It's not necessarily wrong but what if it gets in the way of competing and who is gonna be the judge of that? Thoughts?

Also, lets be honest here. Streaming pays so much more compared to pro play. And the opportunities are end less if you hit it big. More to add, is that your organization values you much more because you popularize their name. Thus, being harder to kick or something like that.

But if competing is your passion why half ass it for a brand. I mean maybe you can somehow do both.

nAts somehow has 6k+ viewers even tho he streams 2 hours once every two weeks, so yeah, its possible

Yes it is if you’re scream

i think it depends on your mentality, but realisticly you can do both, you'll have to either sacrifice some streams/videos when you compete in important tournaments or set specific times for practicing with your team and you time as a content creator

yes
look at sentinels

they rarely streaming, but tenz always pull out the biggest number

If you are a top tier professional, you are bound to get following and the stream would pick up the numbers through that. But money wise it may make sense to focus on streaming rather than pro games.
