Today, she works with ESL and continues to assist them in all of their events
an excerpt of the interview:
You got known via your weekly eSports recap and interviews. Do you feel you will return to your roots at some point or is hosting more suited to you?
Sjokz: I think it's two sides of the same thing, in the end it is still content creation and in my LCS job I interview players as well. I am trying to do more videos myself again and picking up streaming again, but just haven't had a lot of time!
You have been to a fair few events now whether that’s as host or interviewer. Do you prefer the intensity and rivalry of a league or are the major tournaments more exciting?
Sjokz: There is always the risk that a league will decrease the excitement but I think with the roadtrips and showmatches, Lille and MLG are a great example, combined with the consistency delivered by LCS and the fact that #8 in the standings can win against #1 – I prefer the LCS.
