How long have you been playing your esports title competitively?
I have been playing Overwatch competitively for over a year and with Rocket League, very recently.
What is something you do to improve?
Something I want to improve within my gameplay would have to be mechanics, no matter what game.
What is a goal you have in esports this semester?
My goal this semester with esports is to go to the playoffs with either team I am on.
What is something that you appreciate in a teammate?
I appreciate a teammate who is dedicated and practices as much as he/she can.
What advice do you have for high school students who are interested in esports?
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Even if you don't think your good, still tryout. Maybe you will discover you're not as bad as you think you are.
