The “Snowflake Lifestyle” just isn’t going to cut it

Crimsix didn’t hold back when being called “ignorant” for believing that his way of being a leader is the right way to do things.

According to Crim the “Snowflake lifestyle,” as he puts it, will not result in championships. As the winningest CoD pro of all time, he seems to have a good grip on how to lead a team. Just last year he led one of the most inexperienced teams in the league to a World Championship.

Crim believes that he should not have to adapt to another player’s personality and know how to give them criticism without hurting their feelings.

He seems to believe that since everyone is a professional, they should be able to handle criticism.

Crimsix had the support of many pros from the community, Chris ‘Parasite’ Duarte said, “Not many will ever get it.” While another former pro, MadCat said, “For real no snowflake s**t round here, you either got a back bone or find another hobby!”

The context behind Crim’s comments

For Crimsix this isn’t the first time this year we’ve seen his name in a controversial topic. He has been the most outspoken player when it comes to the dropping of Cuyler ‘Huke’ Garland, which resulted in this new discussion.

During his appearance on “The Flank,” Crim said his video regarding that whole situation is coming out later this week, it’s just “waiting for approval.”

We’ll tackle that video when it releases, but for now — the CoD community can chew on this debate. Attitudes toward leadership and the grind have been discussed in depth this year, with divisions about how best to handle different personalities. Ultimately, the opinion of the league’s winningest pro adds an interesting wrinkle to the discussion.
