- If I was single, which I'm not,
I probably wouldn't do like the Match.com thing,
I wouldn't do something crazy like that,
but maybe just the Tinder game.
Swiping, some left and rights, I don't know.
Pose for a picture?
We actually, my mom just bought a computer,
and she was like, "Hey, Eric, go buy some games."
So I was like, I liked guns at the time,
just like shooting BB guns and stupid stuff like that.
So I was like, hey, Counter-Strike looks pretty cool.
We literally bought Counter-Strike
and we didn't even have internet.
Uh, I would describe Nick as like an AK.
I think he's just like, he wants to just like
get in your face, do damage, and just like
fuck shit up.
John, I would describe John as like a P90.
I think he's just like, he just wants to
hold mouse one and just like, come at you.
So definitely a P90 for John.
I almost wanna say like a decoy for Spencer,
because Spencer's like, you don't know if he's there,
he might be there, he might be lurking on you,
but he might not be there.
Pregame shit's always very good for
right before you play.
But I think the best way to mentally prepare
for an event is just to actually prepare.
Practicing going over what you're going to do in game
and you're not thinking as much,
just more like second nature to you.
And recently I've been listening to a lot of oldies.
Even like the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones.
Nick probably has the worst jokes on the team.
So Nick on time was like,
"I don't like Thai food because it'll go
"straight to the Thai-let."
(booing)
My favorite sports team is the Pittsburgh Penguins.
I actually enjoy watching hockey just 'cause.
I love like the physical aspect of hockey,
where they just love like hitting each other,
bashing each other into walls and stuff.
My spirit animal?
I don't know, maybe like a bull.
- [Crew] Penguin. (scoffs)
- A penguin?
Usually the best improvement you can do as an amateur
is just slow your sensitivity down,
and then just death match a lot and
get used to that sense.
I quite Counter-Strike to take a job
in downtown Pittsburgh at a pretty awesome company.
And I worked there for almost a year,
I think it was like 11 months,
and Counter-Strike was just getting too big, too fast.
And I'd played Counter-Strike forever,
and there was no way I was gonna miss out
on this year.
No.
- [Interviewer] No one's ever walked in?
- I've never had, I don't have a story.
I've never experienced either, like,
even, like, I've never like walked in on my,
anyone, I don't think.
Like, myself interrupting anyone, either.
Not even like my parents or anything, so.
Thank god.
So it's been like a work in progress,
I'm trying to be still effective with the AWP,
but still being able to manage the team,
like what our decisions are.
So it's extremely tough and I'm still working on it now,
so I would not suggest ever in-game leading
and awping at the same time.
Traveling to new places is definitely pretty fun,
but going to the same place over and over again
might get a little bit boring.
I think playing, like playing in front of your fans
is the best part.
I think IEM San Jose was hands-down
my favorite event ever.
Just because there was so many people
in the crowd cheering for us.
Go upstairs, throw all my shit away.
Take a shower and just lay in my bed.
Felt like the best, just being
in your own bed.
I don't have like a great fart story.
But I love farting, so I don't know.
Sean Gares is a good looking guy, so, maybe.
Team Dynamic.
I played with those guys for a very long time,
and I think we learned a lot from each other,
from like, my teammates, such as Volcano.
Volcano was an awesome teammate.
Like, AZK and PEX.
So, I would say just like, the Team Dynamic
players in general, I learned from them.
Right now my main focus is not my YouTube, right?
It's like, making sure my team wins,
preparing for my events,
so the YouTube's on the back burner.
I try keeping up with it, but it's extremely hard
with all of the travel and events and stuff.
I have a bachelor's in computer information systems,
so I'd probably just be at a boring
nine to five job, doing database work.
I would definitely boat to Europe if I had to.
There's no way I'd go without internet, that'd be crazy.
Easy, easy decision.
- [Interviewer] Alright, what is one
Tom Petty song that you like?
Just throw one out off the top of your head.
- I don't want to.
(laughing)
- [Interviewer] Goddammit, Eric.
