Popular Ukrainian streamer Dota 2 Igor Altaoda Saiganov told how he became a streamer Natus Vincere and why he did not want to play on the professional stage, and also revealed how much he makes on broadcasts. In an interview with DS Dota, Sayganov admitted that the work of the analyst is actually very boring, because you have to constantly watch matches and memorize episodes in order to mention them in the studio.
About maximum earnings per month
“There was a month when I earned more than a million rubles. This is when you consider everything: donations, four advertising campaigns, and Twitch then paid good money. Now everything is different. It was not that I was getting more than a million for several months in a row. Once, it shot, and then it became much smaller. ”
About the contract with NAVI
“First I got there Aren VeRsuta Zurabyan, and then they wrote to me and suggested whether I want to in NAVI. How did I get there? I just wrote on VKontakte, it seems. There was nothing like that, it was just a contract, according to which we gave statistics with Twitch. <...> In exchange, we received a NAVI subscription, then it was cool, and a small salary. “
About the chances to break into the pro-scene
“When there were fewer players much, my main account was somewhere in 170th place in the ladder. Then it was possible to try something, because there was no such competition. There was some desire [пробиться на профессиональную сцену]but I understood that it was just dust in the eyes and in fact I did not want this. <…> I was not a player, but about about somewhere I play now. “I see that in some situations I play better than some Tier-3 scene players.”
About working as an analyst
“Being an analyst is not as fun as it seems from the outside. Sometimes it’s boring. You come, analyze, then just sit at the monitor and watch the game, remember and think about what to tell you. And so the whole day. For example, bo3-series go five in a row, and you sit all day watching “Dota”. I am not complaining, because it’s not working in a mine. It’s just not as fun as it seems from the outside. “
