These kids absolutely tear each other up
Honestly though it's been like this. Only thing that's really changed are the insults. The same thing applies though that's always applied: only the strong are going to make it.
Point blank you got to be somewhat crazy and or have incredible composure to make it to upper levels of the sport.
All these kids getting hyper competitive, pushed at least by their parents from day one. Talking shyt to throw people off or to put pressure on yourself has been a thing for awhile now.
Whatever works when the chance for millions of dollars is on the line really.
