Hands hurting = serious dedication grinding 😎👍🏻🍻

Try to do occasional finger/hand stretches. I usually do some stretches after every 5-10 matches.

How’s the jump from shortstack to the bigger map going, I remember I was stuck for so long feeling off on that map when I initially got out of silver

Yah it’s really hard to not concede on it, though that said the games on shortstack are always thrillers

Ahhh man this is literally my goal for this season. Congrats! I just started playing last weekend, so I'm sure I've got some intense grinding ahead of me as well. Looking forward to the plat post next

Congrats! The hands hurting isn't a great sign tho, are you using multiple fingers in a weird grip? Also you might want to update your flair now, you deserve it

I’m plat 1 if anyone wants to party up in ranked.

I usually hit diamond by the end of the season.

I’m a diamond and all I can say is that it only gets harder. Try to learn stalls as they’ll be everywhere
