Scrolling team recruitment posts, there's so little desire for my weapon pool. Or even if there could be, every team already has an anchor? I could form my own team (again), but I'm so burned out on captaining :/

Maybe the right thing will pop up soon, but I need a break after Riptide regardless. My mental has definitely improved post-NBFuss despite horrid life events, but I kinda just jumped straight into another team after the disbandment? I need to give myself time to reset my disillusions with comp rn.

Split up the captaining tasks, you should only be doing what you're able to. On Rainfall there was a point where I was doing everything and that burnt me out. On Spooky, I only ever did the things that I knew I could do. For example, we let mystic handle scheduling and signing up

I've tried this and co-captaining w/11 ft 8 Bridge, but I've also been a captain 100% of my comp career. I really just want to be a player without the mental load of any leadership. Which is a rough spot to be in considering it's the best way to get to use my weapon pool?

At this point I just wanna show up to tournaments/scrims and like run a hypothetical team account because I have fun with it. I can see myself being a captain again eventually, but I need a break from it for a while.
