There I was, Silver Elite Master, with a new cologne on. I was prepared to get out of silver, as it's been too long.
I logged on today, and received an invite from a friend, it was Bobai! (Bobai, Old Admin/SA, forgot). Bobai is a MGII, and in the lobby there was him, a Nova 2, Silver Elite, Silver Elite Master, and Me. Together we queued up for Nuke, my most disliked map. We started out on T side Nuke, and we're beating them 5-0, at the end of the half we were winning 9-6. The game carried out, and we were losing 12-15. I knew that we had to tie this, to have any chance of ranking up. So After turning off my brain and zoning out for 5 minutes, we TIED, 15-15! There team was composed of 4 Nova Masters, and a Nova 3.
Finally, after 800 Hours of in game time, I had finally gotten out of silver. I'm not ashamed to have 800 hours, as I've been on and off the game, and this is my 2nd time out of silver, but I worked for it a lot more this time. I had to go through hard games, rage quits, and idiot teamates just like all of us, and I came out on top.
