But yet no one plays Aatrox
starts off with warcraft 3 and casts for league, fucking shame
how do u not like calculus
Phreak the rapper.
hehe xd
really good message from phreak, i think the slideshow presentation
could’ve been better.
Did Reddit get this to 55k?
Dang man.. Instead of aatrox shouldve showcased Teemo… :^)
He’s a really good presenter.
Phreak, if you have to justify how your college major was useful in your
current career, then it wasn’t useful at all. Just be honest with yourself.
PUNS OF DMG
he forgets the main thing behind his success. he’s rich parents that keep
supporting him
I’m gay no one will see this
It did work though I bought skins based on phreaks spotlighs
Not a single fucking pun.. Phreak plz…
Make an LCS player play Aatrox. I dare you.
The amount of people that I’ve heard that’s been helped by Alki David is
crazy.
Tyler1 doesn’t really have much of a personality, his only marketable skill
is being an asshole.
hehe XD
Too cringy.
“Econ has less calculus in it”… I’m transferring to UCSD now. My Econ
degree is full to the brim with math, calculus, differential equations,
linear algebra, etc.
of all champs he chose aatrox
“growing up as a kid” TIL
What if you have any passion ? What if you have nothing to work with and
make something off of it ?
but what if I have no skills
Phreak we love you <3
Phreak ma boi
An awesome speech, Phreak. Glad I came across this!
Reddit army incoming
TL;DR Phreak got the job because of Vitamin B like most jobs
This isn’t worth being a Ted talk. doesn’t teach any valuables lessons.
“Your hobbies are valuable”? Really? Your family and friends should be
telling you this.
Phreak killed it :)
I didnt like him at first. He was a terrible caster. However, he has
improved alot. He is now one of my favorite caster. He is also IMO the
least bias and completely not a racist caster.
this is such a good talk though, lets be real
Heres what I took from this. Have rich parents buy you into and pay for you
to attend one of the top universities in the country. Have connected
friends from said university give you a leg up looking for jobs. ??????
FOUND SOME SUCCESS BOYS!
EDIT- BE SURE TO JUST LITERALLY DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT IN LIFE
BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS WILL PAY ROOM AND BOARD WHILE YOU FUCK OFF
o.o
AATROX LUL
these hand gestures though
Phreak comes over so small compared to this big screen i thought it was
