todays generation more than before , but also more connected at the same time . I know this is a contradiction , but they seem emotionally disconnected from events because everything is happening in cyberland . On the other hand they ’ re internationally connected , but again , mostly just digitally . There ’ s also a huge lack of respect for people who are older than them , and I guess I could use Monte as a example or even Thooorin , even if some of their stuff is intentional , you can see that they do not understand some issues brought up by them . Not saying that everything they do I agree with .
Let ’ s just say there ’ s a lot of “ brave ” people that say things they wouldn ’ t say in real life to a person , sitting protective behind a computer . I guess if we all , including me , acted more like we communicate in person , the community would be so much better for it . Too many bullies is a problem , but I think we will just have to accept that as part of the necessary evils that happen in eSports .
Would you like to see eSports at the Olympics ?
Why not , there are a lot of so-called sports in Olympics that do not excite me , it ’ d be cool to see it happen .
Anything you ’ d like to say to the Community ?
If I ever was mean to anyone , get over it , never said I was a nice guy .
Nah just kidding , I love them , they are great , remember to dream and if you ever find yourself down in the dumps , everyone was bronze trash at some moment . Remember , there ’ s always tomorrow , life is about moments , some are good , some are bad , just remember that .
Thank you very much for the interview !

Is there anything in the world of eSports you ’ d like to see changing ?
Fair pay for the players who play the game and the people who make it happen . What that is , well again , I would refer back to people like Monte ect who have more experience in that area .
For someone so close to professional players , what stigmas would you like to address within the LoL or eSports scene ?
The stereotype that playing a video game is an easy job , I ’ ve been watching my son doing this for a while and it ’ s a lot more work then most jobs , even the casters seem to have a crazy amount of hours they have to put in . Also , if you ’ re a kid that has parents that won ’ t understand you , you ’ re still lucky if they love you . There are many kids out there that don ’ t have parents , and are off worse . Be thankful for what you have .
