Honestly, I just wanna say how much I appreciate being here in SF6 after spending years in 5v5 team-based games.
I’ve got 1.000+ hours in Valorant (peaked Immortal 2) and 4.000+ hours in CS2 (Faceit lvl10, 2.600 elo), and looking back now, I don’t even know how I had the patience for that.

The amount of games I dropped just because teammates gave up in round 2, or because the whole match turned into a coin flip depending on who I got queued with… it was so draining. 40 minutes wasted for a loss even if I played well, -25 elo just because someone tilted or trolled.

Here in SF6 it’s so different. Every match feels pure. No excuses, no coin flip, no “my team threw.” If I win, it’s me. If I lose, it’s me. It’s just straight skill expression, head to head, and that feels so much more rewarding.

And the best part? The time efficiency. I can literally hop on, play a full set in under 10 minutes, and actually value my time. There’s no 40-minute commitment just to see it all wasted. Every match counts, every round teaches me something, and I can immediately queue for the next one.

After grinding team games for years, SF6 feels like a breath of fresh air. I can’t stress enough how much more I appreciate my time here compared to what I came from.
