Today’s article brings you the story of Gerhard Streisselberger. A student by day, a gamer at night who fits a game into his schedule whenever possible! When we started our ICO, it was the number one goal to serve every single interested investor to the best. The entire team solely focused on getting our message across and listening to what investors had to say. Through this we personally bonded with a lot of them and were inspired by the advice Paul Graham (first investor of AirBnB) gave Brian Chesky “if you can’t get 100 people who absolutely love your product, then you do have a problem”.

One of them is “Streissi”. He might also be HERO’s biggest fan and made us very proud, when he decided to get a tattoo with our HERO logo. A tattoo is something that lasts forever and we are truly touched that Gerhard showed us how much HERO means to him.

But now we will let Gerhard speak for himself.

Gerhard, could you introduce yourself?

Hi, I’m Gerhard. I am 24 and study material science. I have been an avid gamer since I was 15 and yes, it’s true, I have a tattoo with the HERO logo. :)

What fascinates you most about esports?

The community. For me, gaming is about spending time with friends or people I meet online. Every time I come home from school or work and know that I have some time before I’m having dinner and I’ll check who is online and who would be up for a game.

How did you hear about HERO?

I have been gaming for many years, but I heard about HERO from a friend and neighbour. When he told me about the HERO community and their ICO, I wanted to learn more and decided to check out the team. You can say it was love at first sight. :)

What is it exactly that you found special the idea of HERO than other projects?

The important thing for me was the blockchain-technology. Give the power back to the people — who actually take the risk — and increase their profit. This in combination with esports was the main reason why i wanted to be part of this project.

When did you decide to get a HERO tattoo?

That was last year, when HERO had their ICO. It was the first ICO in Austria and I thought that was pretty special. I met the HERO team on events before and they are people that are very approachable and that I connected with. My tattoo is a symbol of support, but also because I’m proud to be part of something that is cutting-edge and pioneering.
