9 AM on a weekday is basically hell

Before 9 AM.
I brewed some coffee and finally caught my breath.

The moment I thought, 'I've got a bit of breathing room this morning.'

(Click)
Clatter, clatter, clatter.

The 23-year-old elementary schooler/grandpa/nagging sister wakes up.

—

Well, it is spring break, after all.
That's fine, I guess.

…or so I thought.

Game launched immediately.

—

And then,

a friend crashes the party.

—

Wait a minute 🤣
You guys, it's morning, you know?

—

And what's more.

That friend is bad at Valorant.

One word.

'Wait... you're actually coming?'

(Oh, my win rate is doomed... I'm not thrilled about this.)

—

Yes, it's complete.

Forced duo hell.

—

The structure here is actually super simple.

・People who want to win
・People who just want to join in

There are only these two types.

—

And,

the people who just want to join in usually barge in without hesitation.

—

To make matters worse.

It's 9 AM on a weekday.

—

Working adults → Not around
Students → Fully active

—

Yes,
👉 In other words.

Random teammates, guaranteed hell.

—

・No coordination
・Skill levels all over the place
・No communication

—

The result.

The rage-quit tournament begins.

—

This might look like

a story about games,

but it's actually just this 👇

—

'Your evaluation is flipped by the environment'

—

Someone who is normal at night
is treated like a liability in the morning.

—

It's not about skill.

It's the time of day.

—

So, anyway.

—

At 9 AM on a weekday, you lose because of the environment, not your skill.

—

As for me.

With coffee in hand,

I'm just observing this chaos.

—

That's the most peaceful place to be 🤣
(Because I'm not fighting.)
