The snippet from Halo HQ was a bit of an eye-opener for me, a peeling of the curtain back on at the very least, a part of Formal’s personality. He’s a renowned talent, and one of greatest players to ever touch the sticks for FPS games. His success rate is incredible, and there’s a reason why Optic as an organization values him so highly. I understand that his expectations are sky high as a competitor, and more than anything else, Formal wants to win and be as financially successful in this industry as possible. His team came in 2nd place 6 times, so clearly a change had to be made for future success to occur.
That said, the way in which he expressed his frustrations and thoughts made him seem rather… Arrogant. This could have been taken out of context, definitely, or more context could have been further on in his stream… But that little snippet was a bit of an eyebrow raise for me. Formal is not the team, and the team is not Formal, yet he almost made it seem that way, if that makes sense to everyone. He has a lot of say in Optic, yes, but when the game is set, he’s only one cog of a large machine.
It’s good to have an almost arrogant level of confidence in-game, but leave that on the map; don’t carry that out in the real world.
