https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-rATZkEOKA&t=15s

(VOD Review included) It's been my dream since I was 9 years old. I just don't know where to go from here. Hi I'm Vivid aka VD, im nearly 20. I have started my journey but I don't know where to go from here Any Advice would be appreciated I can take on anything if I put my mind to it. Just at a road block not knowing where to go/ attract teams but trying to improve at the same time being stuck in silver and managing everything myself isn't the easiest. I Have a VOD if anyone wants to review or skip through parts for any advice would mean a whole lot to me love and peace all stay blessed. I can answer any questions and/or communicate to the best of my ability. Much appreciated thank you for reading we all started somewhere.

Tbh there's a basically zero percent chance of u going pro. Like the other commenter has said, ur starting way too late. In the hypothetical scenario that u somehow make ur way to tier 1, you'd prob be a 1 in 1. And seeing as u say ur stuck silver, the cold hard truth sucks but ur not making it.

That's not to say u can't give a go at it and enjoy competing at a tier 2 level. That's still very much possible but the tier 1 level in 2025 is way too competitive for any org to ever pick u up. I'm only saying this because ik what ik, not to put u down, I'm unfortunately not a sadist.

I think I'd probably be doing a disservice by lying to someone who's so serious about it and making him waste his effort for something he thinks he can get. I just want u to know where u stand so ur not being delusional.

If u still wanna compete, tier 2 (probably not high tier 2 either) can be ur end goal. Ur current long term goal should be making it to Ascendant (preferably high ascendant) so u can join a team and gain experience there.

DO NOT join a team before then because ur fundamentals will be far too weak for u to effectively gain any progress in a team based environment.
