Iโm with SA teams, I think itโs gonna be South America’s major, I hope this ages well (laughs) but Thunder Awaken and Beastcoast – theyโre my boys, I want to see them do really, really well! Top-3 baby, thatโs what Iโm hoping.

I was a little disappointed, obviously, I thought itโs gonna be super-hype, I love Stockholm I spend a lot of time here with DPC, but I understand that things are so up in the air with the whole COVID situation, you had to roll with the punches and they made the best decision they could. The same thing with Sweden, they thought it was the safest thing, but I would obviously love it to have it here. Bucharest was nice as well!

Oh, Gaming Gladiators they have Dyrachyo, he looks like a baby, itโs incredible to watch this guy play! Then Ammar from OG has been explosive and a lot of people enjoy watching him play. So those two teams, especially OG, I would like to see them continue the legacy as well. The Gladiators have been putting in a lot of work, so itโs interesting to see if they will make it all the way to the top-3.

I donโt think it needs to be instead, but having it side-by-side wouldnโt be bad. I know in the pro-scene, there have been times when there were female players, and then some of the teams werenโt keen to scrim against them or mess around a little bit, itโs not super comfortable, right? So I would like to see a place where female gamers can play and feel comfortable, and not worry that a team won’t take them seriously because they are having a female player or even not be able to find scrims because of this. Iโd like the idea of having this comfort, and of course you can have these mixed groups as well, but I think Female Leagues are a stepping stone to feeling confident about yourself, and then once you have that confidence, then maybe you are ready to try to compete in the mixed Leagues.

Yeah..In South America there was one player K.rolzinha who played on STARS when that was a thing, Iโm not sure if she made it to a LAN event though. Iโm not sure, there are a couple of ladies that have been grinding and have pretty high MMR, but they donโt want that kind of attention or some cultural stuff going on and they donโt feel they can be a part of the pro-scene. Weโre still little ways from it, but Iโm hoping that the more we have ladies showing up in the scene, the more representation we have, talent and what not – the more comfortable they will be to start competing.

I donโt think itโs on Valve, I think itโs on the tournament organizers. Thatโs them that will have to think like โhey, we would love to do this!โ and they can bring it to Valve and see if theyโre interested. Iโd really love to see that because I know ESL did it with CS:GO league. I believe that was something that they were pushing for quite a while, I mean the agony for the ladies league. So yeah, itโs up to the efforts of the tournament organizers.

Ohh, my favorite? You gonna get me in trouble with the boys (laughs) – itโs Owen (ODpixel) and Fogged. I love watching them! Owen is just so excitable, and hype, and very, very witty, and quick. Fogged is amazing because he is so knowledgeable, you can hear how exciting he gets when something really interesting or brand new happens. He brings so much enthusiasm and with the hype that Owen brings itโs just a treat to listen to them together!
