Interview with Grubby – eSports legend and popular streamer

– Hi, Manuel! Tell us about your emotions and impressions of the HGC tournament on Kiberarene, about what is happening in general.

– I must say, the atmosphere here simply crazy. The hall packed to capacity every day, all very loudly support their favorites, and I’m glad to be here at least.

The tournament is amazing, despite the fact that on the first day of the game were almost one wicket, a lot of matches ended 2: 0, but today more action. Fnatic has shown an incredible level against Team the Liquid , carried them 3: 0, but only that there was a very cool game Team expert against Gale the Force eSports . I get great pleasure, and I can not wait, what’s all over. (ended in predictable dry victory Fnatic – Ed.)

– Why are Fnatic easily straightened with all, and whether it is possible for them at your stop?

– Firstly, I am very happy that a team like Fnatic, in principle, exist at the stage of Heroes of the Storm . Virtually ever since, like Cloud9won the Blizzkone in 2015, it seemed that all Blizzard kiberdistsiplinah will dominate the Korean team. They always have a very close-knit team and an excellent infrastructure, which take care of each one, why so few transfers between the teams.

Well, an amazing capacity for work, which I could see being in Korea for bootcamp. Their culture, their energy, their tenacity and perseverance, as well as the unwillingness to give up – to many Western players should learn from them.

And Fnatic in the Western League came to adopt these qualities best. I’d love to watch them play, admire their skill, and answering the question “Does someone can here to oppose them,” I will answer: not sure.

But this is absolutely not upset me! Although, if I were a member of any other team, I would be worried. Fnatic played great, they take the game to a new level, and the rest is really very hard to keep up.

I hope that whatever the outcome of the tournament, the others will be able to benefit from the confrontation with them will have the necessary expertise and incentive to exercise more and to grow over themselves to better prepare for Blizzkonu.

I do not think that Fnatic has some unknown secret of success: they have a great team spirit, they work as a unit, they have a stable roster, and in spite of his talent, they continue to work hard – that’s the point. I do not have any other way to the top, only hard work multiplied by the talent. to better prepare for Blizzkonu.

– Tell me, how much different career from the tape drive and caster career pro player?

– Well, the pro-player, I was 11 years, 7 of them in Warcraft 3, then another 4 second of StarCraft, and is one of the coolest activities you can think of. I’m just happy that I had all that happen. In this craft, in this profession, there are moments just indescribable joy when you win – you are the king! But when you lose you feel very lousy.

And, unfortunately, in progaming, like in any other sport, you will lose more often than win, because there is a huge competition. But you learn to absorb these failures and wrapping their own advantage by becoming stronger. Thanks to e-sports, I was able to travel halfway around the world and for me it was a great time, despite the bitterness of defeat.

Work caster or streaming just that and different. Here you are always having fun, chat about the games, and in general always “win.” Come to the event, in the frame work is explained to the audience that is going on, to entertain people, I like it a lot.

Even when I have myself played in StarCraft 2, I have sometimes been able to earn the master. And the bottom line is that when you give us your game, you start to notice its new aspects, to understand it better, and then transmits it back its audience, so that everyone can improve their skills. That such a massive synergy. and then transmits it back its audience, so that everyone can improve their skills.

– The Department of Computer RGUFKSMiT have sports. If you were asked to become Professor of Warcraft or HotS, I would try?

– You know, I once gave master classes in schools and universities at home both in Warcraft 3, and for eSports as a whole, so that if ever faculty on one of my subjects will be, I will gladly spend a pair of master classes. Just call me, okay?

– In the Russian-speaking community are many good streamer, but good commentators and analysts is not enough. Can you give some advice to those who want to do it?

– I think the most important thing when you’re a caster, not work on yourself and your audience, understand its needs.

If you look more hardcore audience, it needs to work on the basis of their knowledge, as accurately as possible to explain some complex solutions athletes.

But also on the basic things, too, do not forget to pay attention. In no case can not be intolerable, especially when you explain some of the obvious things for you. Of course it is not necessary to bring to the absurd and explain every move, but there is a term whose meaning can not hurt to recall in one or two sentences.

Because if you constantly pour slang, without explaining its meaning, beginners will be very difficult to understand what is at stake, but about attracting a new audience must never forget. New people – these are new ideas, a fresh perspective that can help everyone to become even better!
