Learning kreedz or studying?

Hello everyone, I am gonna talk about a serious theme and I want to know your thoughts about it. Lately I have been thinking in learning kreedz in order to became a professional in some years. I am not noob in this, I've been playing Counter Strike since 2010 and especially Kreedz since 2016 but without dedicating so much time to this because of studies. Now, I have enter to university and at the same time I've been pratising a lot kreedz but because of this I have failed some exams and I think that I have to make a decision because is impossible to me to concentrate in studies when I play cs 1.6. What would you do in my place, forget about the cs 1.6 forever or leave the studies to try with effort to become professionals in this? Please take this serious...

nah kz doesnt worth it

you can find a balance between studying and gaming :>

well you've started learning kz in wrong age,as we grow up our studies get difficult too,you should started learning in mid age.(like me im 13 and playing kz since 2017,in one year i've learn alot and i can easily do upto 245 lj.I have time for studies and playing too) now its upto you whether study or learn kz.

Invent a job instead of mastering KZ, unless that could be it. We all wish it was but seems like it's not.

Are you even sane dude? If you really consider this a worthy and a hard-to-answer question then you should go ahead and geek the shit out of this game until whatever end of your days because you are a wasted piece of mind at the age of 17.

If you don't like your studies at the college then you should really consider to finish your studies and not apply to university unless you want to study something big like building design / engineering or whatever. You are probably a wasted kind of dude who wants nothing so do not apply to uni but instead buy some educational seminars on how to open your own business or how to do promotional ads on google or whatever instead of wasting 5 years on something that will most likely not benefit you.

It's the time you start to shape yourself as a person so you shall decide if you wanna be a boy or a man.

this is useless shitt. Hit the gym and build your body

You didn't fail exams because of cs. You procrastinated through it. It is very important to understand that.
It was just a tool to fill up the space caused by the personally induced unwillingness to study. It's extremely common with me either, it comes down to time management and optimization. Craft the ability to just sit and engage with your studies. Kreedz won't lose a status of a great leisure, if you enjoy the game as much.
Unless the whip of self-discipline isn't hitting you hard enough.
I've been in that ulcer of mine for years, digging through the rotten flesh to find the best possible way to not hurt myself and yet immerse into something I'd rather be doing to secure my existence, such as education. Yet I kept finding myself in horrible, miserable situations, just nearby to being suicidal or something like in Bergman's "Persona" - stuck in reluctance. It's all classic - you stirred a beehive called a opposition. It gets even worse then you might think of it, trust me. When you implement such categories as motivation, designation and definition of what does actually define "myself", it gets utterly terrible, because what you will see is nothing. There is nothing that you can truly call your's, being simply an information filter with a feedback. There is no yours and there is no else's. Motivation is arbitrary, imaginary, with a cause, that is a result of reluctance of doing something you need. An enormous nothing inside you. You will notice that everything what you defined as yours, as what suits you or you find comforting, is severely occasional and circumstantial, such as what you have chose to study. A great black hole doomed to be free. A blend of PTSD with an existential crisis is what you get in the end of that road.
I still have no idea how I cope with it myself, how I get out from those waters dry. It appears to me, like sometimes I don't see any obstacle within the possibility of studying. So I start and hope for an engagement level just enough to keep it going. So I usually end up having those days completely dedicated to studying. Maybe because I was far away from having my mind sober and clear way back in the beginning, because I've just woken up or etc. I just didn't react, didn't think of it the way it usually appears to me. I, at least, think, that I fully enjoy what I study, don't get me wrong. And yet.
Exams are troubling. I cannot start my preparations until the last night before it, I've already lost any ability to criticize myself about that. It's even freeing, that feel. Obviously I start because of the severely delayed anxiety kicks in during that last 24 hours. It helps me to focus, and it is rather strange how anxiety does someone else's job here.
I've just finished another semester, pretty satsfied with the results. And yet I didn't find myself in an anxious state during my sessions on posteriori_d (spent 800 minutes in total), which took place just at the time I "desperately needed" to study. Maybe I knew that I'm educated enough (both knowledge and circumstance-wise) all along, to reach the mark I wanted, I have no idea, I can't clearly admit that.
But theres another point to it. What usually people fail to notice is the need to rest from the monotonous studying process. To defocus. Kreedz is a best way for me. Being a great escapistic tradition, I always loved engaging into some fine hard and long map, to apply my consciousness to something as reduced and simple (both engine-wise and goal-wise, just enough to say that theres an actual goal for me in this game), yet with it's own laws and surroundings. A different virtual habitat.
Try to discuss with yourself your current situation with college. Kreedz has nothing to do with it. Your desire to master the game doesn't come from the game itself only, to be short.

But the best years of your life...those aren't forever, don't waste them.

There's no point in geeking this game anymore. It's almost 20 years old. Apart from the few active players that are left there's no real interest in this game. The ESEA has officially shut down their 1.6 servers last year, that game is dying.
Read the interviews of some of the uber Pro's, they all regret geeking so much. The standard in this game is too high nowadays and the limits are almost reached. It's pointless to even try becoming a pro.

If you really want to go that route, atleast chose a trending game where you actually can earn money in competitions.

tbh i owe kz game and comunity many thanks, i started kz and doing kz movies for fun, now i got a fulltime job motion graphic designer with pretty good salary, its up to you. kz is motivating much!!
