So real for this. Content creation/pro gaming is a blessing but not everything is perfect. If it's something you're looking to get into it you should be prepared for the not so great parts of it. I'm very thankful to be in a great position with friends and family I've had from the very beginning but if you're not prepared this "career" path it can really get the best of you. My advice is hold yourself accountable to separate your work life from your home life. Give yourself time off and allow yourself to still have fun and not always focus on "the grind". Glad things are getting better for you man. Your mental is always the most important thing. Keep being you!

Bro they don't. I'm 27. Talking to a buddy who's 26. I told him about the rule change and he was in support of it. I understand wanting to grind an not wanting to give up on a goal but I think a lot of people (aspiring pros, to the casual viewer and everything in between) do NOT understand the amount of isolation they're going to endure and what kind of mental toll that can be. I have the same mental issues as some pro esports players for the same reason. Isolation can be an incredibly dangerous monster. I dont think they understand just how much isolation theres going to be. Thanks again for saying what you did. Hopefully coming from a pro, some might heed the warning. Love you bro.

I remember back when you first moved to PC we used to play 2s together, I said to myself that this guy with the flamethrower boost and one hell of a flick is gonna do great things in Rocket League one day. To where you have come after all these years is inspiring. Hearing you speak truly from the soul resonated with me and made me realize some aspects of my life from a different perspective.

Thanks big dog, I love inspiring more than anything

The worst part about rocket league is that it’s such a toxic game, more in the lower ranks when everyone’s ego is so high, but it’s never good for anyone’s mental. Like real soccer players. Grinding ranked while everyone flames you for one mistake always is hard cos you’re trying to do your best. Only thing you can do is brush it off otherwise your mental goes down down down. Thanks arsy. You the realest

Arsenal, what a beautiful message. I picked up Rocket League in 2022 as a new game/ hobby and I fell in love with the game so quickly. I got so inspired by your roster on SSG with Daniel and Retals and NRG and their roster that I came out to see wild card day 4 in Dickies arena live. It was an incredible experience to see you live, even though you weren’t feeling well and left the stage after absolutely CLIPPING to end the game. I tell you this to let you know the impact you have had on me and so many others I’m sure. I feel your heavy heart with this message, thank you for sharing your personal experience and wisdom. Win or lose, keep playing or not, love you man ❤

This one was super helpful to me because I struggle with a lot of things you touched on here. I personally want to go pro, and this isn’t changing that, but I do need to be aware of what to look out for to keep a decent mental going forward whether I make it or not. Relationships are the thing that I value over all others, and I think part of why I want to go pro is to make those relationships with some of the people I grew up watching because I just feel connections to people so easily, but that can be a very dangerous road to go down. Thank you for uploading videos like these, they help a shit ton.

Ngl man, anyone above a certain age understands it’s not all fun and games. You gotta work hard, and there’s lots of isolation due to the grind. But at the end of the day - you are able to provide for yourself and your family to the extent that many, many people just are not able to. By playing video games. Most jobs really fucking suck. You’re not getting paid $16 an hour, dealing with an annoying and creepy coworker who doesn’t realize he’s annoying as fuck and won’t stop yapping, dealing with a shitty boss that tries to guilt trip you for calling out sick so you can rest and not get everyone else sick, with shitty/missing benefits, and the list goes on. It doesn’t invalidate what you’re going through, but that’s just how it is man. At least you’re compensated and you can play video games. I think a therapist, a couple close real friends and a gf that actually cares about you and not your money/clout would help you immensely. Because being lonely sucks. But at least you’re able to actually live.

Arsenal. I appreciate and applaud you putting this video out. This is a really important message that needs to be said more. I’m glad you chose to advocate for these youngsters trying to make it by doing either crazy or dangerous stunts. It probably is fun at first but it will take a toll. I used to be in the crowd asking for more videos and saying “I wish they would post more, cmon do it for the fans!” But watching Flakes one day (he streams very little) he mentioned having a life and doing things. It made me realize one fundamental thing. There is a person on the other side of the camera and they have needs just like I do to socialize, be with friends and family, instead of being in front of that camera. I do realize that it’s a job and we are the consumers but that doesn’t mean that you are here for our beck and call. You do it for you and if you start hating it, then it’s time to reflect and if you make the decision that you are going to quit, I’m behind you with support 100%. That’s not an easy decision but I will be rooting for you to take care of yourself. You come first. This message is really important and should be spread more and come to the light. The issue is, money knows how to drown these messages out. I know Leth has said things about it but who here remembers that? Why isn’t that at the forefront still. Again, appreciate you Arsenal for putting this out there and using your platform to be that voice. I’m sorry to hear about all you went through but I’m glad to hear you’re doing better. It does make me happier you are posting less and taking care of yourself more. Please please please continue to do that.

You said it very well. Glad you take time to reflect and realize these things about yourself. Its important whether you want to continue in the esport or not

Wasgud Arsenal, ngl man, this video really opened my mind in a way that you probably can't even imagine. I've always looked up at you and other Rocket League players and i was like " Damn I really wanna be as good as them so i can joing a team." In 2021 I started focusing a lot on Rocket League, trying to improve and climb ranks. However, I reached a point where I wasn't getting better anymore, not ranking up or anything, and I started getting more and more stressed. It really messed with my mind, and in 2022, I started experiencing a pretty hard depression. I had disappointments in relationships, suicidal thoughts and, I was at rock bottom. Just like you said, i wasnt feeling fulfilled. I've never had friends or anything like that, I've always been lonely and introverted as hell. Like you mentioned, my best friend was my controller and my monitor, and I still got insanely frustrated. I still trying to play Rocket League well enough to join a team. This season I'm focusing on 1v1, but I'm seriously thinking about giving up because it's bringing more stress than happiness. My mental sanity is just gone, and your video made me reflect a lot. Thank you so much for the video and for opening my mind brother, you'll always be the best... stay safe bro

I've watched the video, and it resonated with the significant burden that mental health can impose. However, I believe its impact varies based on an individual's circumstances. As an aspiring RL pro, this content has served as a source of inspiration, fueling my motivation to strive for improvement and work even harder. I will keep in mind all of this, and thank you for the information.

Good luck , always keep your priorities straight.

A lot of people need to hear this, not even just in pro gaming, but a lot of the things you talk about happen in all sorts of professions. Streamers, youtubers, gamers, and a big one is the music industry or really any that is a glorified popularity contest that you get paid for. It really scares me how common these issues seem to be especially after covid, but every little bit counts and I applaud you for saying it to as many people as you can! Hopefully it doesnt get too much worse before it gets better. Good luck to everybody trying to improve themselves and work towards their goals💪

This video helped me ❤ really appreciate your wisdom and sharing these feelings in hard times. Cause sometimes you forget that it’s ok that life is hard. We just get blinded by social media so heavily. Love ya❤️

You speak a lot of Truth it's not just the gaming industry. Every job you're ever going to have is going to want you to do something you don't want to do. But you know what do it your way because you're talented enough to do it your way. Haters are going to hate because they don't possess what you have. Your true followers love watching you play rocket League with that passion for the game not for the money but for the content for the fans and for yourself of actually enjoying what you love to do. I thought I was a SSG but I realize I was an Arsenal fan because you can tell that you love doing what you do and I love watching the style you do it in. Keep your head up stay true to yourself.

I'm glad you're saying this. I'm not a young man, so I didn't deal with it specifically in gaming, but I am a professional musician. Some of the most stressful moments were always in view of tons of the public. Add a competitive game to that kind of performance anxiety, and things get real, real fast. No matter what anyone tells you, you aren't going to be prepared for it. It gets even worse when you start losing yourself to the crowd... salute to you for being so candid about it. I hope that anybody considering your path listens, and listens well.

Bro I listened to the whole 17 minutes didn’t even realize it was that long. Keep your head up Brother 💯 your voice is heard and your feelings matter

I don't know how this video showed up the exact moment I was having suicidal thoughts, I can't cry right now cause I promised my Maa to stay strong, thank you so much brother 💙 for setting my head back to reality, GOD BLESS YOU

Arsenal, I couldn’t thank you enough for making this, your tryna help us and I love that, your an amazing person being real unlike many people, I want to be in Rlcs someday hopefully soon, I’m 18, I’m grinding but I also have a full time job, got 1-2 friends that I love to death, we don’t hangout very often but sometimes we do and we talk a lot and I love that, couldn’t imagine losing them, got ppl that care about me and I Defintely don’t appreciate that enough, this has made me realize I need to, thank you for this, and I hope one day when I am a pro player that I can play against you or by your side on the same team, might sound cringey but this shi almost made me tear up, like just hearing you taking about it it’s rough for them younger kids, personally I don’t want the fame if I’m being honest money is one reason, but the main reason is I want to become a pro bc I love this game, I love the comp scene of it and you make it so enjoyable and make me want to grind harder each day, much love to you bro and know that your an amazing person, we can all tell your an amazing guy and real asf, we all respect that and you are the greatest person I’ve ever seen in my life🫶

It's really impressive and improtant that you got the courage to talk about something as personal as in front of such a big audience! I truly hope that your message reaches everyone in need of hearing it - be it someone that would love to become a pro or a content creator or just someone that likes Rocket League and wants to work a "regular" job; your message is universally applicable and very important: you have to find, what your passionate about and do it, but at the same time you can't neglect yourself, your feelings or your loved ones. There has to be some sort of balance. Thank you for your honest words, I hope you feel much better now than you did in the past!

Thank you for being so transparent and honest. Takes alot of confidence to come out and say all of this. Nothing but love for you Arsenal. ❤

Really appreciate it. As someone who was on the bubble scene during covid and scrimming every day without seeing people while having online lectures it def affected my mental health heavily. Im now working full time so i moved away from the game but i truly appreciate your message man. Say Safe and do what is best for you and your mental health❤

That was real talk. Appreciate you looking out for the next wave of gamers/streamers. Glad you found your peace.

Hey arsenal I was GC2 and nowhere near your level but I want to tell you this video propelled my departure from this game big time. As somebody who was enamored with a bunch of these RL creators you will always be on top of all those memories because the realness you show in this video. To really come out and make this video to everybody watching man, it shows your character. Even when a lot of it was focused on the industry and being a professional, lots of kids realized the garbage lifestyle that comes with playing this game with deep aspiration. Its a pipe dream

This is very accurate, I feel this so much with what I’m going through in my life, my first semester of college I sat in my dorm just playing rocket league, I’m not saying bad about the game, I love it, it makes me a competitive person and encourages me to keep competing in other aspects of life, but I didn’t make any friends. I was always sitting at the back of classes, I didn’t try and talk to anybody, and then I put down the game, made some jokes with people, and now I got friends I will hang out with almost every day here. I still have love for rocket league, but I just had to get out the shell I trapped myself in

arsy your my favorite rocket league player and Ive looked up to you for a long time and this is why. you've always been bigger than the game. At the end of the day we are lucky enough to be put in a great position on this earth and we should make the most of it. money and pleasure is not everything. Youve truly change my entire perspective on life and I appreciate you being real. Very hard for a person at your status to do.

love the message arsy, ive always said id love to be a youtuber but sometimes I forget I only see the highlights and funny moments, and not the sacrifices of the lifestyle. I hope u find the balance ur looking for and be truly happy. I only wish the best for someone like u with a great heart and personality who spreads a lot of positivity

Thank you so much for this video! It really means a lot to me, to see, that even in the games industry it's not all just fun and games. And thank you soo so much for being this open and honest, it does touch peoples hearts and affects the world in a good way!

bro, this conversation had to be started and your insight and level of maturity brought such depth to it that i really can't stop watching it and thinking about what you were saying. Not only from the pro player side of things, but how chasing the bag comes with its huge price. And its not really "if you're careful", i really think its how it works. Either you chase it or you're out of the race. It's super important for everyone, not just people trynna become pros, everyone remotely interested in self growth should watch this. Its illuminating and refreshing content. I'm struggling to ask you to keep it up just like this because these things can't be easy to share like that. But keep being a positive influence in the world Arsy. I beg of you. We need people like you.

I feel this heavy man. Holding on to your authenticity and being yourself is one of the most important things you can do especially in a time like now. And Arsenal just the fact that you’re speaking up and seeing things for what they are is already something the majority of people cannot do nowadays. It’s not easy doing what you’re doing lad. I’m with you

Thank you Arsenal for being real with us dude. You definitely helped some brothers out. Big ups man!

Hey bud, i just wanna give a quick thanks to you for realizing myself which relationships matter to me and what else is important for my future to come. Its not all figured out but thats totally fine cause its a process like most things in life and as you said the direction is what matters. I instantly thought about my life when i heard you talking so passionate about what was going on in your life. I hope you are in a better place than you were before or at least on a path towards it, because thats all what matters. Its a process and time is the biggest component! Much love for you and your honesty! ❤

ur one of the only people i still rly watch on youtube cuz i love rocket league and ur energy but like bro, ur just so real. I feel like ya u get hype and post u having fun on the game but like we also get to see this side of you. u dont hide it like most ppl on this platform acting like everything is rainbows and butterflies ur just true to yourself and to us as viewers so i just wanted to say thanks. love u arsy

you're such an inspiration to so many people. it's scary to see people so good at putting on a smile when they're really hurting. you make the world a better place, and you always have, even if rocket league never existed. you are amazing and i'm proud of you. keep pushing man

I appreciate the words man. The clips and winning pro games is only a small part of people's lives, and theres a lot going on off screen. I genuinely hope for the future generation of pros to keep this in mind.

this really came from the heart, from a real experience in your life, its rare seeing someone like u. You just want to help the new pros not to go through what uve gone, and thats why u tha goat

and i can really tell how much this effects u and how heavy it is on your shoulders,but i’m glad u have posted this it’s glad to see u getting stuff out when it’s needed

Appreciate you, man! This message goes past RL and content creation. It happens in school, work, home life, etc. There’s a fine line between being authentically you and putting our emotions to the wayside for validation. In the end, you’ll almost always be happier being the authentic you. Of course to some degree, you need to create an ego for yourself, but it doesn’t have to be the idea of “ego” that has the negative connotation. More so, just a true sense of confidence in your authenticity and who you are and that it’s okay to be you, exactly as you are. Keep on killing it, Arsy 😎

This is what we lack as a nation. Just speaking the truth. Straight from the heart. Mad respect and appreciation for you bro. This speech alone could be more impactful than anything else you've done thus far. You got mad support and love out here for your bro. Keep your heart up. 💪❤️

Arsenal, NEVER change bro! Continue to honor yourself and others. You using your platform to enlighten and encourage will have genuine impact. It’s so true that we think we can discard our SOUL for something that won’t even last our lifetime. Building a community with people who genuinely care for you and have true love for you will last generations.

I feel like you are cooler and better than ever for just being you and playing your game. It’s great to see. Thank you for gracing us with that level rawness and sincerity, and I can’t wait to see more Arsenal.

Arsenal, I've watched you play for a while now and I've always thought you were a genuine dude. I love that you are out here speaking truth, your truth to the community because as glamorous as this life looks and sounds there's always the negative/dark side to it that no one knows, no one sees, no one even considers. You are doing something that most content creators, professional athletes, esports pros, and any other individual with a similar stature wouldn't even consider for fear of taking a hit from a monetary standpoint. Thank you for putting this out there because for a lot of people they don't come to this realization until much later in life when it's too late or worse after the darkness has its complete hold on them and they succumb to it.

Money does not buy happiness and i will live by that statement, its hard to realize it because it sounds so amazing but how you word it makes everyone who watches this realize that maybe this isnt as good as it seems. Sure you have people that look up to you but exactly like you said, when you sit back down in yo room, its just you and yo mental game… thank you for talking about how you have to act different to even get into some different groups especially for friends. I love this video so much and you speak exactly how i feel which makes me feel better knowing im not the only one that feels and thinks this way.

Thank you for posting this and providing all of us on the outside with the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that go into what you do. Love what you're doing, bro. Keep being you. Rooting for you and the boys ❤️

It truly affected me when they announced they decreased the minimum age requirement for RL pros from 15->13. There to young to be even at that amount of stress in their lives. your words really reached me deep inside. You spoke straight facts and people do have to understand that no everything is what it seems. We need more people like you spreading their experiences to people that want to pursue something that can look harmless.

Ima keep it da buck, most important RL video ever posted on this site. Thx for the wisdom brother ❤

you're a legend for this bro. people dont talk enough about depression in gaming and being a pro player is a whole nother level. glad to see you're in a better place now

damn bro didnt know ur struggles man hopefully this opens up peoples eyes much luv

This has really good parallels to having your own business too.. essentially being a pro gamer is also having your own brand and experience the same things. When you go all in on one thing, its challenging to balance things bc the way we're taught balance is actually wrong. Balance is just giving an activity the amount of time it needs to level up. IE If you wanna go pro Instead of grinding 200hrs shooting from champ > ssl then instantly pushing for bubble player When you hit X goal, take a beat, see what the opportunity cost of that goal was (ie did you skip work outs to get more ranked games in?) Than go and spend some time to regain your health and mental, and then optimize your day to day habits so you dont lose your mental health Once a week minimum should go and hang out with friends Daily should work out at least once, if you're sitting more than 8hrs, then at least 3-4hrs of working out and movement With a very healthy diet Hold your health accountable, and make sure you take into account your physical and spiritual health. Life gets so much harder as you get older. Invest your teens and 20s well. Good vid bro!

It truly is hard for kid's that have barley lived life and to be put into a spot light like that and have problem's is heart breaking. It's nice to see people try to reach out to those people and still understand what's right and wrong and try to teach other's. I'm happy your trying to reach people like this keep it up.

I’m not much older at 29 years old but this video speaks to much more than RL. It honestly speaks to life. It’s so important to take a step back, ground yourself to reality, and consider the things you truly care about in life. Most things good or bad are temporary. I think the most important thing in life is relationships and the people around us. It gives us more life purpose.

Good shit man, big fan, keep bein awesome

Thank you for doing this. Preciate you my guy.

this applies to whatever anybody wants to pursue, not just esports; really digest his words if you’re thinking about being a content creator, musician, artist, etc etc. everything he said is raw and real bro, and it’s all facts.

Wow. Bro didn’t fall off. He fell unto something more real than video games. Respect on you brotha. You keeping it real and showing people what matters.

I don't know who you or how old you are but you are wise young man. Thank you for speaking out about industries that seem all glamour. Good luck to you.

I fucking love you man. I've been watching your videos since yous started. I feel like I always saw that something was going on but I wasnt sure. I noticed recently that you have been seeming a lot more genuine and secure in yourself. I wish the best for you bro, keep being awesome. And if you don't stay in Rocket League, I wish the best for you wherever you go. I think you can genuinely achieve anything you put your mind to. Even if that is deepening relationships or something that isn't competitive at all. Anyways, I love you Arsenal, hope you're doing well❤

I love what you said and i just wanna say you should always make time for friends and family i am currently going through a tough time with suicide and for me my friends were the only things holding me back

Yoooo MAD RESPECT, New sub. You said it all brother, I have been working with content creators and they have everything, nice cars, nice houses and everything and they are always so lonely when cameras are off.

Bro speaking facts, one thing I’ll say though is you can feel that way without being successful too. Money is definitely important and it does help, but it only brings temporary satisfaction, not true happiness. I don’t think you should go through life focused on becoming as rich and successful as you can because like you said, at the end of the day when you’re sitting there all alone in your room none of that matters. I think you should find what makes you feel fulfilled and do it, whether it’s the same thing all the time, or something new every time. Whether it makes you rich or pays minimum wage. As long as it’s something that you’re passionate about and you truly enjoy doing that’s all that matters. If you’re reading this stay strong, it might not feel like it some days but you’re gonna reach your goals. 💪

This stream was great, and this lil snippet was just the tip of the iceberg. Much love Arsenal!

This is the realest talk about what celebrity is like. Thank you for sharing this. Stay real.

much respect from me for this video!!! i think its important that you speak the truth for the youngest generation! money and status means nothing! And as an older person i tell you...everything will be fine! Life is short but long at the same time! soon as you end your pro career you will still have enough time for yourself, family, friends and memories! you are on the right way with your mind!

Make your subconscious conscious. That's when you truly wake up. I feel you, Arsy. I have moments like these. It was like a flip of a switch. From hating to loving and enjoying life. Being happy is true success, not money.

I’m 14 and I was planning to go pro on rl but you “opened my eyes” and now I’m rethinking it a lot.

Arsenal, it’s great to hear someone speaking out about this. I hope that you have a support system. Keep your head up, you’re inspiring.

Love you. Just do whats right for you. The critics that always need this and need that from you dont matter in the long run. Get your small circle and keep them close.

Wish there was a super like button lol. Nice to hear someone keeping it real with us. Keep doing you Arsenal

I feel this so much I've been gaming for like 12 years and it basically started when I was 13 and I can tell you all that loneliness and antisocial behavior took Me a long time to fix and took me until i was 25 to actually figure out

I love it, best video on YT, when a young man who is probably not even old enough to drink can warn the world with mass wisdom DON'T TAKE IT LIGHTLY you need to listen and better yet understand. ❤ I love and appreciate you arsenal 🤙 ps I'm 31 and to hear you talk this way brings me a sigh of relief that maybe the future won't be so bleak for my new born son with people like you in this world ✌️❤️

26 years old here and always thought it was strange looking up to dudes younger than me because the idea of being a pro gamer was/is dope. Thank you for posting this dawg, we all needed this perspective in our lives.

I really respect the transparency, it puts things into perspective

A part of why I stopped making KZread videos is because I felt like I needed to script it and rerecord things until they sounded good. That I needed to only make a video when there was a visual element that others would enjoy. For some more context, I make video games. That takes time. There's a lot going on in life right now. Senior year of HS, getting ready for college, family stuff, financial stress.. I put a lot of work on myself this year with DE and AP classes. I have therapy, which has helped, but I digress. There's a voice that tells me that I could be working more; another that says to have a better work-life balance. I see KZreadrs quitting, this video, and some stuff from the past. I've gone through quite a bit of stuff. I'm optimistic and confident about my future. Maybe I'm talking to a void yet again, but this video was helpful. This stuff doesn't only apply to Rocket League. Life can be scary, but I know I'll get through it. And, it's nice to see various people I've grown up with comment on this.

Damn, never thought about this, you really opened my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing, I hope you're doing better. Take care of yourself man, some of us out here really do care about your well being.

As a bit of dad advice, this is great wisdom, and insight, and anyone should really listen to this, and not just listen, but really understand the depth of what he is talking about here. This is isn't just about pro gaming, and it isn't just about Rocket League. Apply it to any pursuit in your life. Everything you do in life doesn't have to make you happy, but if it makes you miserable, then you should probably think real hard about avoiding it, or changing careers, paths etc. Really examine what you are losing by continuing your current path.

these like real talk type of videos my favorite, shows Arsenals true Genuity

Dude, that's some real talk right there, props to you for this what an awesome point of view on all this internet bs.

bro, it makes me so happy to see that someone this real is in the rl scene, and willing to talk on real topics like this. keep being you arsy, you are hitting home like nothing else to some people with this video

Always rooted for you, the maturity you showed is next level. I agree with your perspective of the new age cap, It’s not going to be healthy at all.

This is why you have my respect your real bro my respect for you just keeps growing I’ll always appreciate this advice not because I wanna be a pro or a streamer but because your real bro. Life matters and you just need to have fun doing something you love real shit bro much love man.

keep ya head up bro much love❤

I appreciate you keeping it real. I only wish the best for you always. ❤

Thanks for being so real with this. I wanna be a pro and this brought on a new perspective that if I ever get to that level somehow I’ll need to balance real life with it as well.

Damn bro, my heart goes out to you. I been watching you and other pros for years now, I ain’t know it was like that. My best wishes go out to you and any other pros that may have feelings like this
