Q&A WITH C9GREGO
BY: SLOANE WOLF
We got a chance to talk to
C9Grego (aka Greg McAllen), a
professional gamer on the Cloud
9 team (proudly sponsored by
Loot Gaming). Check out what he
had to say about Overwatch and
his competitive gaming career!
Q: Who or what got you into
gaming orginally?
A: My older brother got me into
gaming as soon as I could pick up
a controller. I used to also be big
into sports, mostly basketball. In
my teens, I started getting chronic
migraines so I could no longer
play sports. Video games were the
only place I could compete.
Q: What is your favorite game of
all time?
A: Haha, some of my friends
are probably gonna hate me for
saying this but it’s gotta be World
of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
or Counter-Strike 1.6 or the newly
found Overwatch.

Q: How long have you been
competitively gaming?
A: About four years now.
Q: When did you decide to go
into competitive?
A: I was pubbing Shootmania
4 years ago with some of the
competitive players and noticed
I had similar mechanical skill so I
decided I should give it a shot.
Q: Favorite games to play aside
from Overwatch?
A: Street Fighter, Counter-strike,
Quake Live, WoW and Dark Souls.
Q: Most memorable gaming
moment (competitive or casual)?
A: There are many moments but
I’d say my proudest is either
recent success and being picked
up by Cloud 9 or when my
Shootmania team went to ESWC
2013 and beat the highest seed
team in our group 2-0.
