Should I stream if I'm top 1% in CS & Valorant? Or should I quit gaming?

I am debating whether I should completely quit playing video games or if I should double down & start monetizing myself. I am top 1k in Valorant & I am lvl 10 faceit in CS (haven't played cs in awhile but I have 10k hours). I never streamed because I was focusing on going pro, but atp I don't care about being pro I just want to make money.

I make $21/hr (pretax) at my dead end wage job, I'm not sure if I should start posting content or try making money online again (had a little success with clipping & running YT shorts). I only have time for one tbh, unless I just half-ass both of them.

What would you guys do? I spend way too much time at home/playing games. Do I drop it & move on, or stay with it and just focus on content/monetizing myself?

could be worth it, look at nocries, that nigga became like first in faceit in 1 year or som, and he started avg 800 viewers in twitch (i think, im not suer=, bt he also had all these gambling promos where theres more money paid.

You could try to be like top 100 faceit or smth like that, you could start having some viewers and partnershiptr

Bro what happened to Tarik man.. So sad. He's literally gay now, like genuinely homosexual. Still my goat for Boston 2018.

When they nerf neon I will actually push for rank1, been imm3 for like 3-4 years now.

True. Imagine someone who mogs & is good at the game & is entertaining. Top 1% streamer potential just off that tbh

This is what my (gold) little brother just told me, LARP radiant or buy a radiant account & post educational content. I was silver 1 in CS in 2015 it took me like 7 years to become good at FPS games, could actually help some noobs. I think this is the play

For sure, if you get bored of the game, you can always switch to irl content, if you start send channel bro
