“
When did you get into gaming and what was the first game you played?I got into gaming about 11 years ago playing Unreal Tournament '99. It was the first online game that got me hooked - Instagib Capture the Flag all day. I was a pretty good shot but most of all I was fingerfast on the map! I competed in several LANs and won the Eurocup with the Belgian national team a couple of times."
"At what point did you decide to try and make a career in esports? Did anyone inspire you to do it?"
"In march last year - after finishing college - I did nothing but play League all day and write for SK-Gaming. At that point I didn't see it as a career, but after attending Dreamhack Summer 2012, meeting the teams, Riot-staff and just being around all the fans and competition made me realize: "This is what I want to do - nothing else"
"To wrap up, What is your goal in eSports, what needs to happen for you to feel you've achieved all your eSports goals?"
"That's easy - I want to achieve what Rachel (Quirico) has. I've learned so much from her in just spending a couple of weeks with her. She is my prime example - she loves the games she covers, works hard and pretty much lives the dream. Not to forget she's gorgeous!"
