The Sacred Legend

The First Carry

In the beginning, there was a lobby. And the lobby was full of noobs.

They walked into walls. They threw grenades at their own feet. They looted the same empty crate four times and then asked where the loot was. The enemy team was laughing. The enemy team was screenshotting.

Then the sky cracked open, and a new player joined the match. His name was Thunder. Some say he came down from Asgard. Others say he came up from a basement. Both are correct.

He did not speak. He did not need to. He dropped thirty kills, revived every single teammate twice, and won the match on 1 HP while the rest of the squad watched from the spectator cam, eating chips.

When the victory screen appeared, one noob typed in chat: “who is this guy”

Thunder typed back: “your god. $60/yr.”

And so the Cult was born. The noobs have been carried ever since.

Doctrine

The Seven Commandments of the Carried

  1. Thou shalt not take Thunder’s loot.

    It is his. It was always his. Put it back.

  2. Thou shalt ping properly.

    “There’s a guy” is not a callout. Where is the guy.

  3. Thou shalt not blame lag.

    Thunder plays on the same servers. Thunder does not lag.

  4. Thou shalt stay behind Thunder.

    Do not push. Do not peek. Do not “have an idea.” Follow the bolt.

  5. Thou shalt say “GG Thunder.”

    After every match. Win or lose. Especially lose, because that one was your fault.

  6. Thou shalt revive Thunder should he fall.

    He won’t. But be ready. Just in case. It has happened once. We don’t talk about it.

  7. Thou shalt keep thy membership active.

    $60 a year. Salvation isn’t free. Servers aren’t free. Thunder’s energy drinks are definitely not free.

Frequently Asked by Noobs

FAQ

Is this a real cult?

The cult is a joke. The $60 is extremely serious.

What does $60 actually get me?

Eternal salvation, getting carried in every game, priority revives and a printable certificate. Honestly, more than most battle passes.

Is that Thor on the logo?

No. That’s Thunder. Thor is a guy with a hammer. Thunder is a guy with a hammer, a carry streak that has never ended and $60 of your money.

Is salvation really eternal?

Yes. Completely eternal. For as long as your membership is active. So: eternal, renewable annually.

What happens if I stop paying?

Your salvation lapses immediately and you are returned to Bronze. Thunder will still carry you, but he will sigh about it. Audibly. On mic.

Can I get a refund?

Thunder does not do refunds. Thunder does not do tutorials. Thunder does not do “one more game.” (He does. Every time.) The actual refund policy is in the Fine Print.

How do I cancel my membership?

Go to the member portal and enter the email you paid with. Your salvation lasts until the end of the year you paid for, and then you are returned to Bronze. We will miss you. Bronze will not.

Can I get carried by someone else instead?

You can try. Come back when it doesn’t work. Your salvation will be waiting, at the same price.

Do you accept payment in skins?

Thunder is reviewing the offer.
