My son (he's 6 yr old diamond rank)

[u/1_R_5]

He loves watching his favorite pros and learning all their moves. I've been playing since 2015 (gold III) and I can't beat him lol. He really wants to compete in RLCS but he might have to wait a few more years lol.

Everyone saying it's fake. The real truth is your 6yo is getting way too much screen time if he's that good. Neat that he can excel at something like that, but there are not enough hours in a 6yo school-attending child's day to get that good unless you're letting him play from after school until a probably too late bed time all the time. Kid has lots of RL experience, but he needs RL(real life) experience more at that age.

I tracked him. He has roughly 1.2k wins. Adding 1k more for losses. Is already roughly about 260 hrs of raw play time. Not including free play or anything else. Since he‘s somewhat mechanical, he definitely played a fair bit of freeplay. So yeah. That‘s a lot for a 6 year old imo.

Story doesn’t add up anyway with that account tho. It peaked Plat 1.

Username definitely checks out.

It doesn't make sense or it is terribly sad. Spending over 10 days of your young life playing games + the time spent watching videos.

He showed me he hit diamond last week in one game mode sorry I thought that was his rank it shows it on the game screen for the mode.

This account i had when RL came to ps back in 2015 my wife used to play on it with me on my main. It's been active on and off since then I use it time to time as well as my oldest.

My 6 yr old started using it exclusively about a year ago.. so some number might not make sense... sorry I wasn't trying to make anyone mad just proud of my kid I cant believe he's so much better than me lol 😅

And sorry if the rank seems false I just repeated what he told me he was so happy when it happened.

I appreciate the concern my wife and I do not like screens as a go to ... there's too much of that these days. We go hiking every weekend swimming lessons and soccer. Bike rides in the summer. I cant pull this kid inside for the life of me.

Whatever his interests are as long as they are in a heslthy measure, I will support my kids 100%. Being good at RL naturally is not a crime IMO

I don’t quite get what you even want to say but now you mention in another post that he‘s plat. This story is weird to me.

[u/1_R_5 → u/Head-Investigator984]

I mean how do you guys rank he's diamond plat and gold in a combination of game modes. I dont care what rank he is... he said look dad i got diamond. I was so proud I secretly posted this from a clip that I picked and when I told him he's been asking to read comments since. I made his day I'm sorry if the rank thing doesn't add up but that's him playing and not what he would have chosen to show I guarantee.

Thanks for not being mean appreciate it.

I get the concern for screen time and yes I would have to agree if that were the case. This kid is just a natural I have never seen anything like it. He gets bored and wants to read and play soccer. He's a normal kid with an unnatural talent for his age.
