![]() ![]() Are we proud of the progress we have made in our jungle clears? Our orbwalking? The banger lasagna we recently perfected? This may be an answer for many people as to why they don't climb (or succeed elsewhere in life)- Do we take pride in what we do? And if so, do we forge that pride into part of our identity?īad Habits also hold us back, oftentimes in ways we don't even know. This goes far more specific than general self-improvement. Most of us may spend a few days going into league matches trying to focus on improving our trading, but do we really stay committed when faced with +12 LP -20 LP at 0 lp Bronze IV for over a month? If we don't take our self improvement as a point of identity that we pride ourselves on, we cannot expect ourselves to retain motivation. This is part of the problem with establishing our habit of trading-in-lane. Once you consider it part of your identity, pride will take over, and you will have a constant renewable source of motivation. If you don't have those, tell strangers on the internet. There are other methods to incorporate something into your identity, such as telling friends and family about it. Thinking and speaking this way is helpful. Instead of saying "I want that six pack", say "I am a person who cares about fitness". Instead of saying "I want to reach plat", say "I am a person who is improving at league". Still, how do we maintain the discipline required for consistency when we don't seem to be moving any closer to our goals? This is because we expect clean, linear progress, when we're actually presented with slow, non-linear progress we may even move backwards at times. Even if we do reach our results, we only hold on to those abs for a few weeks, before returning to our previous ways. Īlmost like clockwork, we work on reaching our goals for weeks or months, find little result, and then quit. This leads to the "Valley of Disappointment", as seen below. When we begin to work on a new habit (such as working out), we generally actually start with a goal- say attaining abs, or reaching emerald IV. ![]() But before we deem into how Blaberfish2 forms habits, we need to understand something: Atomic Habits, the premier book on forming habits, teaches us the secret of players like Blaberfish2. Alternatively, take Perkz, a player that briefly had a supreme display of talent (putting up world class performances on multiple roles), only to become a shell of his former self. Take ContractZ, who was hardstuck in silver for several years as a jungler before he became a long lasting, lovable face in the league of legends NA scene. There's more to being a pro player than just talent. ![]() To be frank, isn't what he said (I am writing this months after the fact), but its what I heard, and within a short amount of time I was reading Atomic Habits. He said: "I read Atomic Habits and it was really good and other people should read it". Thousands other saw it, and I hope it reached them as it reached me: Blaberfish2 gave away the key to his success. I was barely listening to the post game interview after Cloud9 won the game, until I noticed Blaberfish2 was being questioned. I found a part of that answer a few months ago. ![]() But how does he do it? How does Blaberfish2 stay at the top of his craft- whatever he deems that to be- consistently? In an almost absurd showing of competitive prowess he was a top tier badminton player. Despite playing as a starter jungler for less than five years, he gives Xmithie, the most accomplished NA jungler, a marathon run for his NA Great Of All Time (GOAT) jungler status. He ended the most recent split 13-5, with cries for Blaber to be ordained the most valuable player of the split (MVP) rising loud and clear yet again. This was the first time since season 1 that an NA team rose up to beat a Korean team, the supreme goliaths of the league scene at the time. He's been on a steady, constant rise in skill since bursting onto the scene in 2018, beating Kwandong Freecs in a 3-0. Many know Robert Huang, titled to the average league player as Blaberfish2. ![]()
