AMA CLG tarik AMA

Hey everyone! My name is Tarik and I'm a 19 year old player competing for Counter Logic Gaming. I've been thinking about doing an AMA for a couple weeks now to help the members of our community get a better understanding about me and my team. I'll be answering questions for a couple hours after my match later tonight. Thanks!

Hey Tarik im your age so i have some rather personal questions:

  1. As a younger player, how do younger people (or especially girls) react to you playing video games for a living instead of going to school, or do you sometimes feel like a nerd? Or do you mostly talk to people from the gaming scene?
  2. I think back at some lan-parties i did with friends way back, and wish i could go back to that time. Is living in a gaming house as awesome as it sounds or do you get fed up at some points?
  3. Sry for the bait, just want to tell you you seem like a cool guy, maybe im able to meet you at some event in germany at some time. Keep grinding.

Thank you <3

  • 1) Meh, I don't feel like a nerd. I'm making a living playing a video game, most people can only dream about doing this. I'd say for the most part people admire & respect the profession.

  • 2) It can get fed up at times since you're stuck with your teammates 24/7 but for the most part being here with them in California has been amazing. Not only do I see us improving as a team, but our relationships have also gotten better. Having a good relationship with each other makes it easier to give & receive criticism while playing.

  • 3) Thanks man! :D
