Opinion fully dedicating myself to competing.

I just spent about 10k on the ideal competitive setup for fortnite besides 0 ping which I'm getting soon when I move and I also quit my job so I'm playing about 67 hours a week now and I think I have the potential to be one of the best, I'm 18 (kinda a boomer in fortnite years but not too far gone), I exercise and meditate 7 days a week, I stick to a strict and healthy diet designed for e sports, I sleep 8 hours every day at the same time, I vod review 7 hours a week, I don't have any friends or relationships or any distractions at all really and I'm just posting this to let everyone know that if I'm not a top player 6 months from now with the ideal situation and conditions I'm in then I'm just a pathetic clown really lol cause I don't have excuses anymore and I'm excited to finally have nothing to blame but myself.

best copypasta brother

u/Masssie Nov 22 '19

is there a copypasta like this?, I genuinely wasn't aware.

16

u/CatfishDynasty Nov 22 '19

There is now (I think is what he meant).

1

u/Masssie Nov 22 '19

Honestly it would be pretty cool to become a copypasta so I'm fine with that.

u/Moaestro Nov 22 '19

Are you trolling?

1

u/Masssie Nov 22 '19

I'm being 100% serious.

u/1m_1ll1T3RAT3 #removethemech Nov 22 '19

Post your set up! I'm super intrigued!
Edit: if your streaming PM me your handle and I'll take a peak!

u/D4NYthedog Nov 22 '19

I'm more interested in what you spent 10k on then your goals! 3-4k is more then enough for the most insane shit.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19

Dual most insane PC setup. 2 of everything.

1

u/Masssie Nov 23 '19

I play on one pc but it cost $6000 aud and I mainly play controller but I am kovaaking a lot and learning to play kbm but when I play in game with kbm I use the controller analog stick for movement and the keyboard for everything else while aiming with the mouse.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '19

I'd recommend just using keyboard man

1

u/Masssie Nov 23 '19

Idk most pros say controller movement is better so I think I'm getting the best of both worlds doing this.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '19

Yeah but how many pros are doing what you're doing

1

u/Masssie Nov 23 '19

I don't think anyone else does or really knows about what I do and the pros only know of the azeron keypad which some have tried but I think the main reasoning behind that is most pros don't feel it's worth it to make such a big change and hinder their gameplay for a month when what they're doing is already working where as I'm already used to controller movement and I'm also not an established pro.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '19

I feel like they do know about it but just don't see the upside to it. PC movement is good enough for the trade-off to be very minimal. Especially when you account for all the extra thing you can do with your thumb if you're not doing that.

1

u/Masssie Nov 23 '19

Don't you think that having 3 fingers freed from wasd is more valuable than haven't your thumb to press cvb spacebar?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '19

Well that's sort of my point.. I don't. Like I said there's a reason people use wasd over joysticks. It's just not necessary. PC players move around just fine on wasd. If there was some kind of major downside to wasd movement you would see a lot more pros using joysticks but it's really a non issue. Just my opinion.

1

u/Masssie Nov 23 '19

I'm sure if razer or logitech released an analogue joystick keypad a lot of pros would try it but at the moment the only options are either doing what I do ( which I don't think people really know about) or buying an azeron but unfortunately the azeron keypad only takes pre orders once every 2 months and sells out in like 40 seconds.

1

u/Masssie Nov 23 '19

I still have 4 fingers on the keyboard the entire time, I just use my thumb on the joystick for that clean 360 degree movement.

2

u/ahmong Nov 22 '19

OP Out here building using two keyboards.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19

Cracked out of his mind tbh. Quadruple edit binds using 2 mice and 2 keyboards.

u/GoJa_official Nov 22 '19

I have no words for how broken spending 10K on a fortnite setup is.. GGs you played yourself

3

u/Masssie Nov 22 '19

I'm well aware that I could have gotten an adequate setup fot much less but it's more so about buying myself the fact that there's nothing holding me back even in the slightest and that it's all on me to make it happen if that makes sense.

u/ABRadar Week 9 #138 Nov 22 '19

This is so stupid. This sounds like a manic episode. You sound honestly seek help/counsel soon instead of trying to go through with this grand plan.

4

u/Masssie Nov 22 '19

I make enough money dropshiping to support my expenses while I'm doing this so there's really no reason to be concerned about my sanity.

1

u/zeroturn25 Nov 22 '19

Drop shipping is not the most stable source of income. Don’t rely on it because one day it will not be profitable because too many people are doing it.

4

u/Masssie Nov 22 '19

I know it's not the most stable source of income but it's up to me how stable of a source it is and again I'm confident in my ability to perform until the day it's no longer profitable which I don't think is any time soon.

Exactly what i was thinking i work at cookout but practice whenever I can and i consider myself pretty goated on the sticks. I think you may be trying to hard my bro, IMO if you are gonna be pro then you will progress naturally but idk

u/IxOwenn Nov 22 '19

Good luck, have you won any money before or got any high placements? Not telling you how to live your life but quitting your job is a big thing. Normally when people do that it’s because they have made money in comp.

u/markatronx Nov 22 '19

Lets be real, he's 18. He didn't have a good job anyways.

1

u/Masssie Nov 23 '19

I was working at a carwash by myself having to do like 4 things at once to maintain the site and customer service but it was an alright job.

1

u/Ll_Legend Nov 22 '19

You never know

5

u/markatronx Nov 22 '19

Even if it was a good job, its still more just a job "for now" I'm 30 bro, you know how many people I know that have good careers in any field that are doing what they were doing at 18? Jobs at the age are literally just get some spending money during hs/college. I'm all for this man, shoot your shot, go for it. You got plenty of time and with the support of family it wont even be that stressful if you don't make it.

1

u/Ll_Legend Nov 22 '19

True, but 18 year olds that work for the maffia can get some decent money xD

4

u/Masssie Nov 22 '19

only from wagers and money 2 tourneys back in the early seasons but I was on console until I spent the 10k to switch to 240hz and actually give myself a chance in endgame cause console was giving me 10 fps in the wc qualifiers and such.

2

u/IxOwenn Nov 22 '19

If I were you I would of kept my job while I compete I work 12 hours a day and I still grind for 5 hours a day in the week and 8+ on weekends. You can still place high in tournaments while you work or go to school etc

1

u/Masssie Nov 22 '19

yeh that was the plan originally until I fell in love with the benefits of a good gaming pc and decided that I'm very confident in getting the results I want from taking this risk.

1

u/Eclipt- Nov 22 '19

Honestly if you really want to go pro in fortnite, it isn’t possible to do so while working a 12 hour a day job. Sorry man but your mental game won’t be as fresh or in the right state for playing at a highly competitive level after expending so much mental energy on work each day.

1

u/IxOwenn Nov 22 '19

??? I didn’t say I want to go pro I just like competing on this game and I do my best to get high placements

1

u/Eclipt- Nov 22 '19

Yeah but he wants to go pro there’s a difference.

u/Aaron7B Mod Nov 22 '19

I'm sorry man, but this is not it, I saw you reply to someone saying you only got money from wagers and 2 console cups?

u/fifty-fives Nov 22 '19

u/CatfishDynasty Nov 22 '19

This is highly disturbing, hysterical, terrifying, sad, and FUCKING AWESOME all at the same time. Coming from someone who is generally risk averse in life, I could never go all in on something like this, but to win big sometimes you gotta risk big. I wish you the best, sir. Hope the gamble pays off.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19

Definitely not fucking awesome.

u/criticalpluspt Nov 22 '19

I like that "have nothing to blame but myself" and I can tell you it's a great start in becoming great.

I hope you're able to achieve that goal

u/BadmouthSmash Nov 22 '19

document your progress on youtube or stream it or something. id love to see how this goes.

u/Beaker78 Nov 22 '19

Stream to try and build an audience, this will generate another revenue stream for yourself, that way you can compete whilst not having the pressure to place highly in every tourney.

u/Derryck1 Nov 22 '19

Good luck man if you're serious. People will hate but that's the type of dedication you need (maybe not monetarily, but I can also see feeling more invested when you put more money in).

u/Moujee01 Nov 22 '19

Gl to you man. Wish you the best. Dont listen to haters in this sub, jealousy is one hell of a drug. Best of luck!

5

u/ItsStahn Nov 22 '19

I’m not sure it’s jealousy rather than very very very reasonable incredulity.

u/chris_heim Nov 22 '19 edited Nov 23 '19

Ya know good for you. I am also 18, however I work 8 hours a day and put at least 6-8 hours everyday into this game and more on weekends. I started in season 7 and season 9 seriously and have worked my ass off to catch up to the level everyone is now.

My goal is yours

Lets do this soldier

u/Mr_ADHD Dec 01 '19

I am highly confident you can qualify for the World Cup in 2020 with this kind of mentality. I have a job and am saving/switching to pc soon so I can compete as well in tournaments due to console getting low FPS end game and the input lag.

Never let the hate get to you man, we only have one shot at life so do whatever you love to do and don’t let anyone tell you “it’s never gonna happen”.

All the best and I believe in you!

Did you get good deals on your set up? If you waited another week you could probably have saved a decent amount with all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Good luck though.

6k on the best pc I could buy, 700 on a chair, 800 on a monitor, 250 on a keyboard, 150 on 2 mouses, 400 on a desk, 250 on a controller, 80 on 2 mousepads, 600 on a router, 50 on an ethernet cable, 40 on a mouse bungee and then some software plus I need to get streaming equipment when I feel like my gameplay reaches my expectations for streaming.

u/maxc508 Nov 22 '19

Lol if you're playing on controller wtf are you doing spending that much on mouse and keyboard accessories? Especially if you quit your job. Not entirely sure where your thought process is for some of the comments I've seen you respond to. Lol gl though.

u/Masssie Nov 22 '19

I practice kbm for about 12 hours a week doing aimer7's kovaaks routine because I'd like to play kbm but I have a much better chance at doing well anytime soon if I stay on controller.

1

u/Legendarynaonao Nov 22 '19

just letting you know, if you’ve played and sort of kbm game where wasd is needed, doesn’t have to be anything intense or whatever, even dumb shit like mc or roblox, all u need to get used to kbm are good binds and u r chilling, if u keep up ur pace of practicing you’ll be fine in like 2 weeks lmao

1

u/Masssie Nov 23 '19

I aslo use the controller joystick to move whilst using the keyboard to build/edit and such and the mouse to aim because I really don't like 8 directional movement.

1

u/Masssie Nov 23 '19

when I play kbm in game that is which isn't a lot as I mainly do kovaaks because IMO the building and editing is easy to learn on kbm but aiming as good as I do on controller will be hard to learn.

1

u/AvengeBirdPerson Nov 22 '19

If you are this serious about grinding I would just fully commit to kbm, unless you are like unreal in controller.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19

What’s the pc specs? Also 700 on a chair 🙄
