I was a top 1000 ranked player in R6 Siege for a while. Which sounds unimpressive to people who dont know that at one point there were about 30 million registered players.
Funny Story about that is that I decided to take a break because I was starting to take it too seriously. I was good but I wasnt going to go pro and I had a good job and a mortgage that I was putting at risk by staying up all night playing. So I actually really got into Angry Birds and Plants Vs Zombies for a while something easy enough to just put down and get some sleep… anyway I was at dinner with some of my wifes work friends a few weeks later and it came up that I was a gamer and one of her friends husbands asked me what I was playing and I said “Recently Angry Birds…” and before I could say anything else he turned into an absolute gatekeeping shitlord lecturing me about how that isnt real gaming and so on for about 5 minutes. Then he mentioned he played Siege… I couldnt help myself “Ive seen that, maybe I could add you on steam and try it out sometime” so a little creative account making later a few nights later I joined him in a few casual matches. I spent about 2 hours casually windmill dunking on him before I was like “Man this IS fun, but its getting late. I might head to bed, play a little AB before I crash out.”
He was at the Xmas party this year and he is still butthurt.
