Hello to everyone of this community who loves this beautiful game
I am grateful to whoever will read this thread and I would like him/her to share their opinions on my thoughts/questions. I’ll try to be quick (and hopefully not boring) in explaining my point. Maybe many others of you have thought/spoken about/tried the same thing, each one with a common factor: passion for cs.
The following lines may sound a bit philosophical, but try to read them in a serious tone rather than a romantic one.
No need to make introductions as many of you out there share interesting stories on how they met/began playing cs, but this is not the point here.
As years go by, university goes by, girls as well (not for everyone though), I can’t help not willing to play cs whenever I sit down with a pc in front of me. Fact is that we most of the time dream of things without the real will to pursue them, and so did I back in those days of adolescence, playing endlessly alone or with bot-teams with a Pentium 4, a ball mouse, agp videocard and adsl internet (yes, Ethernet cables arrived in 2009) 2megabit/dl, 200kbps/up. In the worst possible of “western” countries for egaming and web infrastructures in general: Italy, with no community/no support at all.
Nobody will give me back those days but I’m not writing this to regret them, just to point it out.
My feelings are different, I wish I actually could have a real chance to test myself, to push myself to the limit at the same level with everyone else, and finally restore mind and body peace saying definitely to myself: this is it, gaming isn’t for you, put the mouse down and do something else.
This is why I’m almost done building a gaming rig with cs optimized components (120hz @lightboost etc.) and this is why I’m asking you what do you think about moving out to live together as 5 people, sharing life costs and experiences, becoming close friends (not butthole close though) and professional players. To make cs a full time job, not to dream, but to act. Not to have complains, but in the worst case scenario to have memories.
This is why I’m doing this shout out here in the first place, and why I’m ready to move wherever it takes (Scandinavia has a great climate), and do sacrifices, whatever would it take to make me say one day: I’ve done it and I tried my best.
So have you or one of your friends ever had similar experiences/wishes? Do you think it may have actually sense? And how should I start moving/making contacts since I’m by my own, which are the best countries/communities?
I would appreciate very much any kind of feedback or opinion you may have and feel free to contact me by pm for any type of discussion or tip
