How did you get into playing World of Warcraft initially, what led to playing professionally and what keeps you playing the game?

I played MMO’s for a long time so it was natural to try out WoW. I have a competitive nature that led me to play professionally. I keep playing WoW because I want to compete internationally in arena.

Have you played any other games competitively?

I used to play Starcraft competitively on ladder.

Outside of competitive eSports, what occupies your time. Are you a student? (major?) Any sports or hobbies?

I am a student in business and compete in MMA tournaments. Also, I play a lot of rugby.

To what extent do your friends and family know about this aspect of your life? How have they reacted? Will they be following the competition from home?

My friends and family know my intent to compete in eSports and support me.

How did you come to be a part of your team? What are the factors that make this team the best choice for you?

I played with them on Tich and TR. We have great communication and coordination which helps execute plays.

What is your usual role on the team? As of this moment, what class is your favorite to play in competition?

My role is DPS/support although DK’s support is limited.

How has the Wrath of the Lich King expansion and subsequent 3.1 patch changed competitive play from last year if any, in your opinion?

Burst is a lot higher than before WotLK so healers have a harder time healing their teammates unless they have amazing awareness and pre-heal before the damage comes.

If the classes were to remain largely the same come time for MLG Columbus, what comps would you expect to see in heavy rotation. What comps are you anticipating to be the most challenging to take down?

RMP and Rog Lock Sham are the comps that I am anticipating at MLG.

What teams would you expect to pose the biggest threat to your own? Why?

RMP is the biggest threat because they can control our pally or even swap to him.

For someone just starting out in WoW Arena PvP, what is the most effective piece of advice you could offer? What are the keys to success in WoW Arena?

Take your time to think about your keybinds so that they’re comfortable to reach in case you need to reach them quickly. Practice dueling a lot and don’t tunnel vision in arena.
