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. 4 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.
