robby makes a swift return; addresses mental health issues
Robert "robby" Brown has announced that he is once again looking for a team for the upcoming ESEA season, with his previous squad, Lowkey, disbanding after being eliminated in the Advanced Round of 16 by Thunder Logic.
In a TwitLonger, robby expanded upon his previous statement to Dust2.us that discussed "personal matters that are pretty complicated", explaining that he suffers from Schizoid personality disorder, which makes it difficult to maintain and cultivate relationships with others. He clarified that he wasn't revealing these details in an effort to garner sympathy, but rather to be fully transparent with any potential teams that may consider him.
robby went on to say that his personality disorder "creates byproducts of major depression and passive feelings of suicide/loss of passion", making it difficult to stay motivated or positive and can often lead to burning out. He also mentioned that playing in hubs such as FPL, Rank G, and FPL-C can be difficult for him as he is uncomfortable around people he's umfamilar with, often leading to him playing poorly.
Despite the strain and advice from his therapist to stop playing, robby wishes to continue pursuing CS:GO and overcome his shortcomings as "the odds of life are stacked against me anyways so I might as well try to make it in something I'm passionate about." A number of former teammates and players expressed support for robby in the replies to his tweet, with many wishing robby well in his search.
