I pick the latter, after I doubt my ability to make decisions for the much older male faces around the community station table.When people ignore my requests for them to let me enjoy playing and learn through experience, and keep writing “tips” and critiques in chat, then I will be a lot firmer in how I dismiss their feedback. I also need to wear an crease-free t-shirt and sort my hair out prior to recording the next episode…I’m now trying to find a balance when I have time at home, adding streaming into the mix so I can start playing CS:GO for myself and learn the callouts I’m less familiar with, feel the effects of patch changes and enjoy the feeling of getting better – I have approximately 23-24 hours in the game; I have quite possibly watched around 400 hours this year at eight events spanning five continents – some days I could be watching for up to 14 hours if it ends up being a 16 hour broadcast day, so those hours do add up.So I practice; I play in lunch breaks, and after work. Sometimes I experience aggression over voice chat or someone tells me to mute my voice, but I don’t care; I’m good at this now and I know people I can play with.Going into my final year of GCSE I enter a relationship with someone I meet at the skate park. But I didn’t. Instead I gave them an idea I had been wanting to develop for years and spent two uncomfortable days filming it. I can make worse jokes about myself than they ever could.

And I decided to reach out to it via YouTube…Full disclosure; Lizzo was so utterly phenomenal that I quickly moved on from the fact that I’d got someone else’s… deposit(!) That’s why I’ve come to realise that not every post in the HLTV forums comes from a bad place. We need to remember that the women who are playing CSGO and other shooters haven’t necessarily been playing it as long as men. Unless it’s a very popular player, images of me featuring another person – especially a man – do not attract likes.As my follower count has grown on Instagram, so has the complexity of my relationship with the platform and how I feel about what I post there.
He brings me food and tea during my stream. People are dying. That, particularly in the past, girls weren’t always invited to play with boys. Professional shots aren’t typically as popular as selfies. When a producer called me a “pain in the ass” at an afterparty after a stressful week of lacking production details I needed to do the best job possible, I walked back to my hotel with a friend, wondering if I would ever be invited to work with them again, as opposed to thinking whether I should. When the CEO of an esports org insisted I fly out to meet them for a face-to-face meeting, and rejected my requests for an initial remote call instead, I should have declined to work with them there and then, especially when they were determined to talk via DMs than business email. I have started doing training maps and relax a little on my no backseating rule when testing flashes. And then you’re self loathing, dealing with losing on the server and trying not to lose it at the faceless username telling you to relax, while another types “WTH. These days it’s just my face, face, face, face, photo of me with a horse/dog/miscellaneous animal, face, photo with a pro player, face (and repeat).You’re pretty much always going to get odd comments in Twitch chat. After three hours I can often be found yawning mid-game, as the afternoon takes it out of me.
It’s my stream, so I set the rules. We need to let women know that if they want to play, they are welcome, and that they can succeed.I enjoy letting my emotions loose in-game.
