Feel super similar to this. Was happy to read some nice little details of the early days on this article :D

never quite managed to play sponsored, because the guys I was playing with at the time required me to be 18 to travel alone :') so they booted me once they went professional - they became the first cs team of SK iirc.

Like you, it taught me a lot about being in a team, not so much as a leader but a part of it. Playing on eachothers strengths, and compensating for eachothers weaknesses naturally at some point etc. was also a bit of a recluse/distant to ppl locally, not an immigrant, but just a bad place to be outside as a kid :).

Nice to read other people have had similar experience ^^ never really met anyone IRL which was such a CS addict :D
