3. The interview

Hello Jimmy, and thanks for taking the time to have a quick chat with us. Let's kick it off with the basics, what got you to start streaming?

I saw how much money there was involved, so I started. On top of that, I heard it was fun interacting with your fans and viewers in general. Those rumors seemed to be true :)



How do you feel the stream is doing right now?

It's great, every month that passes by the viewer count grows from hundreds to thousands depending on what's being streamed.



Do you mind describing it in more detail?

My playlist consists of some-what of a variety from mostly House, Rap, R&B, and Rock. I mainly stream match making games or inhouse playing with friends I knew way back in my days before I started my Dota career.



You are one of the few North American players that stream their games. Would you say that you bring a special flavor to streaming?

Not really, I just do my own thing as for every streamer does whether they want to stream simple games while others with commentating and more entertainment.



Speaking of the NA DotA scene, it seems like there are more and more NA teams emerging. What do you think of their potential and the way they are progressing?

I'm glad to see the NA Dota scene is growing, considering the fact there was limited to none back in DotA 1.



Being one of the few real legends of the DotA scene, do you think you can transfer any of that knowledge to your viewers?

I don't consider myself a legend, but thanks for the gesture. One thing I can say 'Be fearless of failure'.



We've recently seen some Chinese teams taking a more active interest in DotA 2. How well do you think they`ll be able to compete against the EU/NA powerhouses?

I think this time around, we will be on a fair playground because of numerous tournaments coming in for us. While for Chinese they are slowly migrating over and having to little to just about 0 tournaments going in for them. I'm sure they will adapt quite quickly and still be considered as a top contender.
