Furthermore, he said, “But the thing about Valor is I haven’t taken it seriously yet, you know. Like I am just playing ranked, I am streaming. I haven’t really scrimmed and franchising just came out and, even though, like in my head I think I am a possible player to be playing in franchise, eventually. But I feel like I am not experienced and I have stuff to prove to other players as well. So, its kind of restarting from the beginning and its kind of having like a headstart just because I have a background in CS.”

Moreover, he declared further that he would feel unsure about being ready to play if teams came to him at this moment. Nevertheless, the veteran has spoken out about his future, which hints that he could be looking to make an appearance “eventually.” Thus, we can only hope Stewie2K comes back in his fullest form and preparedness.
