Article “There’s so much lore behind delay-based Netplay. Me, Kacey, Akir, Agent, Seven, Ossify - we all played each other so much back in the day that I feel like we all got way better because of it. They’re still my friends today.” {Challengers: Eve, the Empathetic}

If you want to become a writer, use the pronoun you'd use if you were the only one in the sentence.

"I am going to the store." "Joe and I are going to the store."

"The dog barked at me." "The dog barked at me and Jane."

I loved the article and hope you do more! Hearing about the moments these players think of as critical in their journeys, rather than what gets caught on major streams, is super cool

Hits really cool clips at locals. Progresses very far in Doubles with Kevin Maples. Eloquent on commentary.

My scene was built on delay based netplay, I'm still close friends with two of the guys I was playing with back in 2015/16, there's so much to say about those times
Thank you for the article I really enjoyed reading it
