Counter-Strike Source: Intel: NightFaLL Profile

Where do you see yourself in one year? In five years? DirecTV appears to have big plans with the Championship Gaming Series in the upcoming years. Do you see yourself becoming a full-time professional gamer for the long term? Do you have other career ambitions?

If given the opportunity, I would at least game professionally until I was done with college. That's another 4-8 years depending on whether I go for my PhD or not. So by the time I'm done with college, gaming may be at the point where I can live off of it. And if it is, I would be an idiot not to take advantage of the opportunity.

As for other career ambitions, anything I do when it comes to my career will be something I have control over, as I feel that for me to be truly happy with any career I need to have control over where it goes.


Do you have any regrets from your life as a gamer and competitor? If you had to leave gaming today, what would you remember most from your experiences? How do you want to be remembered once you're gone?

I wouldn't say I have any regrets when it comes to gaming, at least none that have had an impact on my life.

If I had to leave gaming today, however, I would remember the hard work all of my teammates and I have put in to get to the championship level teams we were. It reminds me of when the Colts won the Superbowl, hard work paying off.

And when I'm gone? I hope I'm remembered for who I am. People in life and in gaming always want to bullshit; they want to put on a different face than their own to please the public.

That's not my style. I've always said what I felt and always meant what I said. It's the reason people either love me or hate me.


Thanks for your time, and best of luck to you and your team. Any last comments you would like to make?

Just thought I'd say thanks to GotFrag, gaming would be boring for me if it didn't have the coverage that you guys provide. Half of the fun for me is reading match predictions/reviews and things of the like.

And you guys make that possible, so thanks.
