IT’S YOU.A fear of rejection, #FOMO,

lack of experience or knowledge.

NOTHING.(and worse…)

1. Look at tutorial videos. 2. Have a training schedule. 3. Ask Xavian.What are the consequences?

1. I’ve lesser time to work. 2. I can beat Xavian. 3. #foreveralone.

Is it worth it?Why do I like playing?

How will these help?
