Sw3nyA few months ago I started competitive tf2 and starting with comp, I contacted my old friend that I haven't talked to in a whole year. That friend was Jessi. We hung out together and had a lot of fun. Then he asked me, "do you want to sub in my 6s team?" with which I replied to with "yes."
This was mid season, so it made sense that I couldn't really start out just yet, so I waited for the season to be over. The season is over, and I was scrimming. The scrims at first went pretty bad as expected. But that's how you learn, and it was my first time playing. I started to improve pretty quickly. Jessi said, "we are going to go low and we will put you on main."
At this point, I couldn't wait until the season started. The season is close to starting, and this is where I lost a bit of respect for him. He trials a scout--I was also playing scout--which surprised me, but I didn't ask anything of it, he trials him, and he passes. And at this point I'm very confused. We had a full roster, so I thought, "oh he's probably a sub." Was I wrong, as he put him on main and moved me to sub twice,
Now I was really angry, but I didn't want the team to lose just because of me, an inexperienced new player that skipped open. They play the season. I rarely get to scrim in where this point I started to get depressed and sad because I wasn't playing even though he said I was playing.
Some might read this and say what a pussy this Sw3ny guy is getting depressed of a video game. I had no other friends in my life. They were everything to me and not playing with them made me sad, but I forgave Jessi.
We are all in a voice chat, and Jessi said that the person he got wont be playing the next season, so that meant I could finally play my first ever season, but the person said, "who told you I was leaving?"
Then Jessi replies with "weren't you going to leave after this season?"
The person said "no".
At this point, I was crying in the voice chat and got depressed once again, then I realized: Why do I care about him when he's backstabbing me like this?" With that in my mind, I leave the team mid season and moved on. A few months later he asks me to join his highlander team, to which I replied "yes." It felt weird playing with him again. I felt unwelcomed and left it.
While I was playing with him in a highlander team, I was also playing for another highlander team, and he noticed that. Then he told me, "you're playing with someone else and you didn't even tell me."
In which I reply to with "yes."
I haven't heard from him since, and I don't want to. Jessi isn't just a backstabbing teammate. He is also an egotistical one. He complains about every time he dies at times he wasn't supposed to and clutters comms, bringing the mood down in the whole team and all around a pain for everyone, including the game. He shit-talks everyone when he has the opportunity to.
Just a quick warning: If you know of the people I was talking about, please don't go and harass them. I don't want them to get witch-hunted.
The End.
FTFY
It seems like Jessi made a mistake in the preseason a season ago. He screwed you over a bit, but at that point you should have sought out a new team. Continuing to play with him was a mistake, and you understand that now. You need to move on from this.
That said, playing on two teams within the same format is super abnormal, and it is normal behavior to remove anyone doing that.
In the future, I would avoid posting things like this. Our community is too small to burn bridges. I have things much less aggressive than this thread that I really regretted posting publicly when I was newer to the scene. Keep your head up, find a team of people you get along with, and keep at it! Or take a break if it feels like too much.
Best of luck!
