In this edition of "Behind the Gamer," Sneak got the chance to sit down with Sonny Tran to discuss his career as a professional gamer. ![]() Name: Sonny Tran Age: 19 Location: Houston, Texas Current Team: Team Pandemic Past Teams: mugNmouse, team smooth Hey Sonny, let's get right down to it. What is your most memorable gaming experience (in or out of game)? At the 2006 Intel Summer Championships, a bunch of people were hanging out in the Pandemic room. We were just chillin’ and then this big Viking looking lady came to our room and tried to get in on the fun (thanks A) We told her she can't come in and told her to leave, but she was a little drunk. She got mad, then started hitting our doors and going crazy. She also gave Ash (icesalmon) a fist in the face. It was a pretty crazy night and my most memorable gaming experience. What about your most memorable match or in-game moment? It was a match against JMC at WSVG in Kentucky. That was our first tournament and our first big match together as a team. I clutched on an eco round and we went on to win the match. After that match, we rolled the Upper Bracket by playing extremely well beating u5 and 3D. Even though we got trashed by 3d in the finals, I was still happy with the way we played. I played so much CS prior to the tourney in practicing hours with the team and playing bots, that I'm glad my training paid off ;] Besides competitive CS, are there any other games that you play in your spare time? At night after practice, I usually play Dota. I also play Mario Kart a lot with my roommates whenever we have some free time. I don't like to race because I suck at it, but I do well in battle mode. And now stepping away from PC-related activities altogether, what do you do in your spare time? There are two pugs that live with me that keeps me occupied the majority of the time away from the computer. I also love to grille. Do you currently attend school or work? I don't go to school or work right now, but I plan on going to school soon. Do you currently have a significant other? I just got out of a 3+ year relationship and I don't plan on having another. I’m just chilling for now. Favorite food? Pasta. Favorite movie? How High, never gets old. Favorite female celebrity? Jessica Alba |
