For the next 5 months, time passed rapidly for Damon and his girls, between grinding in FaceIt, helping his girls grinding to the global elite and the start of his twitch channel.
At first he had like 10 viewers, first because twitch wasn't as popular as it will be years later and second because he started, he didn't have a community already so it started slowly.
But as the time passed, and he streamed almost everyday for the past months, his viewer count continued to go up to 200, 500 and he peaked at 1.2k viewers in the fourth month, and for 2013 it was already insane.
That was thanks to his really good looks, his quality of stream, because of the top-tier material that Richard bought, the camera quality and the sound was better than anyone and most importantly his skills, and you combine everything then you have a top stream.
Oh, Richard was dead by the way, yeah so sad right, well I'll skip the details, but he just hypnotized a homeless guy make it seem like a robbery gone wrong and poof, Mia is now in possession of everything.
Today was the 14th august 2013, and the major update that will change cs:go will happen today at 7p.m so Damon decided to stream and play with his girls all day until the update.
After breakfast they went the gaming room and after doing the preparation, Damon started the stream, he waited 5 minutes, before the welcome screen went off and there was already 500 viewers because today was a big update.
"Wassup guys, how you doing today, it's the big day, the new update coming tonight, can't wait for it"
The chat replied and greeted him and instantly ask him for news and told him some new infos
"Hmm, yeah there was a lot of leak already, let's check it" Damon replied and then went to twitter to check the leak and even tough he already knew what the new update was about he still decided to act like he was surprised
"Yooo, so to sum it up, it will be the Arms Deal Update, there will be new knives with different animations, some skins for weapons like the AK, awp and deagle, damn that's dope and according to the leak it will be worth money, and to get it you will have to open cases that you can drop depending on your luck at the end of each match, competitive or casual."
The chat was excited and spammed emotes and messages like LETSS GOO or OMGG.
"Oh wait, this guys already has leaked, all the skins, no wayyy, that's sick, look at the Awp, it's called lightning strike, and it's in purple rarity and this AK-47 case-hardened is also purple rarity, the deagle blaze too is sick as fuck, then there is some other skin but honestly they don't look go- wait he just leaked the freaking new knives !!"
< What do they look like, SHOW US AND I'LL SUB RIGHT NOW 💵💵>
"Alright, i'll check- DAMNN WHATS THIS KNIFE !! KARAMBIT, yo it looks dope as fuck, hope we can inspect it and it spin when we do, M9 Bayonet, Bayonet looks amazing too but flip knife and gut knife they looks mid, and those skins like fade and slaughter, damn that gotta be the best one, hmm wait do you think the case-hardened has like different pattern maybe, and like you could get one without the gold, like full blue, because if not then it really looks trash."
The chat and damon then spent 15 minutes debating what where the best skins and also speculated how much they will be worth, but they talk about 10, 15$, little did they know they were completely wrong.
"Alright guys, we will just wait for the update in the meantime, I'll play some FaceIt with Anna and Mia, there isn't much challenge left for us in global elite right now but at least in faceit there are some pros"
"Yo Zywoo, wait, what's your first name and by any chance are you french ?" Damon was a bit shocked because he couldn't believe it was the one.
"Oh yeah right, sorry, I thought I've heard your name somewhere before, as for your questions, I don't think I'll go pro, I don't need the money, It takes too much time being with your team, training, the boot camps, Lan, etc… It's not worth the effort for me and I also have two wives to take care of at home… Well that's the reason I would give you if I was humble but in reality no-one can beat me not even the pros so why should I go pro, ahaha"
"Ayo, I've already 1v1 you Adil, and it's not in a month that you'll improve to the point that you'll beat me when I bested you 30 to 1 right ? But if you want take shoxie with you and come play FaceIt, maybe you'll give me a bit of difficulty… or not AHAHA"
Anna couldn't help but also intervene "Hey babe, at this point they should pay you to play the one vs one, after all you 'Educate' them, hihi~"
The chat also couldn't help but laugh in this situation after all Anna and Mia were known to always add some fun remark of give some snarky comment, that was also the charm of the stream.
"Alright guys, I'll just warm-up a bit and I'll start the matchmaking, and Scream and Shox join us so we can five-stack if you guys want to, I know there is a 9 hours difference but it doesn't change something when you play all day right ?"
After some warm-up Damon, Anna and Mia joined the teamspeak with Shox and Scream that were waiting.
"sup shoxie, sup scream, how are you guys doing?" Damon asked
"Hey guys!" Anna and Mia said almost at the same time
"sup damon, hey girls, we're getting ready for the ESL cologne, it's in less than 2 weeks so gotta be ready" shox answered.
"Yo bro, sup girls, yeah, I think we're going to win, I'm on fire these days !" Scream was quite excited and Damon knew that they will win so he didn't give some side remarks.
They found a match pretty quickly as they were all level 10 and in a Five-Stack, and surprisingly they matched-up against a complete team of pros : The Ninjas In Pyjamas.
"wow, what a way to start our first game guys" shox said a little excited.
They had to win the knife round to decide what side thay want to play for the first half, Damon's team lost the knife round so and The NiP chose to start in CT, and the map was Inferno.
Needless to say, even if he start of T or CT, Damon is a demon, they executed B in first round with a rush banana and after a double kill from damon, they threw 2 smokes covering Tree and Garden, also a molotov in case someone was hidden first and second box, also 2 perfect flashes coming from shox that allowed Anna to take a free kill on someone that just crossed the smoke tree.
Honestly, even the chat was flabbergasted by the way they dominated the game, the coms were perfect as if the have played years together, the execution and positioning was good in almost every round and they were able to win the game 16-4, quite a stonks for a pro team.
"Yo Damon, you sure you don't wanna go pro, even you two Anna and Mia, I swear if you decide to create a team in the future just let me join because no other team will win if you play bro" shox was also really enjoying the game and thought that they had better synergy than the lineup in VeryGames, Scream thought the same too.
The played all day and didn't lose a single game which resulted in everyone of them except Damon to went up in the leaderboard because he was already first.
Oh and yeah, a lot of pro teams approached him and tried to recruit him but he told them he wasn't considering going pro already.
They played until the update Shox and Scream were sleepy because it was early in the morning for them due to the time differences so they went to sleep, then just after the update, the trio went to competitive mode hoping to drop a case, and luckily or as expected from Damon, he dropped a case and Anna too dropped a case.
"Letsss go chat, alright we'll be the first to open a case in CS:GO, so here you can see the different skins we can drop, but we already saw the leak and they weren't wrong, okay so to open the case we have to buy a key that is worth 2.49$, damn GabenN know how to make money…" Damon said with sarcasm
"Girls, give me a good luck kiss please, I'm stressing right now" and so Anna and Mia obliged and gave him a kiss and then Damon clicked open and closed his eyes.
*Wheel Spinning*
*Cage Opening Sound*
"Woowww babe, no freaking way you got-"
"OMG babe, it's gotta be the prettiest-"
Damon didn't want his girls to spoil him so he shutted their mouths with his hands and then asked his chat.
"Yo chat, I don't wanna look, I think my gambling addiction is showing up again, I will only look at your reaction so tell me if it's good okay"
Just by looking at the chat reaction, Damon heart didn't calm down, in fact his heartbeat increased more and he couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to look at what he got…
