Predators back in season 8 had 3-minute queue times

Started around the same time, allocated some time to watch some streamers a bit later (season 8/9/10 or there about) -> in most cases watching streamers = waste of time (especially live where I saw queue times reach even 5+ min for Preds)

Always was and always will be especially in Apex:

1. most of them are just clowns - but I guess some people like that type of content where people scream, overreact, use some shallow tiktok buzzwords while playing the game and adding 0 value to the audience...I guess it is comparable to doom-scrolling (same people do both I would assume)
2. most if not all of them hack producing now standard 10-20 KP games one after another even in lobbies which are filled with cheaters as legit players who get as far know oh so well
3. even back in the days watching Preds did not impress me...yeah you might learn a rotation or two or some game exploit place to rat but that's about it = few seconds / minutes of valuable content vs hours upon hours of trash comparable to AI slop

For me personally only content worth watching was people like coach Nihil = concrete goal oriented tutorial videos with clear comments on what was done right or wrong and why. Very educational, applicable and instantly boosted my skill from Plat to Diamond level. Thanks again coach! superb job done and was glad to see you make it to pro league and even win an event! Well deserved!

If I wanted to learn how to fight in situations when 2+ teams cross-fire me I just watched some ALGS footage yet in my 10k+ hours of Apex it was applicable maybe once or twice as such intense fights almost never happen in regular ranked game even at Masters+ level, yet it was again nice to see how to manage heals, abilities and combo things together.

p.s. I will not even mention my thoughts on people who send money to streamer clowns :D
