Mike "Wickd" Petersen, the Top laner of Evil Geniuses, is the star of the 51st episode of my 'Grilled' interview series.

Some of the topics discussed:
- If he thought of himself as the best Top laner before joining CLG.EU.
- HotshotGG's style over the years and his carry potential now.
- Comparing sOAZ to himself.
- Whether there is a skill gap between top level Koreans and non-Koreans.
- The downsides of living in a gaming house.

The entire 37m56s interview can be watched at Team Acer.

It's annoying to hear about these pro gamers talk about mundane chores like cooking, cleaning, washing clothes etc as "downsides" of living in a gaming house that effect their performance. FFS these are basic elements of life, its so unprofessional to see gamers talk about these things like they're actually challenges.

Should point out I haven't watched the video yet but Wickd's mentioned it before and Fredy made the same point in his grilled interview.

It's the difference between living at home w/ parents vs living with other people; it's still technically a "downside" in comparison to before.

Well most of them have lived with their parents before. Also to me it seems many of the LoL progamers feel very entitled.

And dont forget the LoL Pro scene is still maturing.

Good interview btw, Wickd always gives very good insights on how a game works and why people do what they do. Always good to hear him talk, feels like someone who lives the game
KCCO!

It could be seen that way, and in honesty that pov is why I put it in inverted commas. Even if you consider it a downside it's still a stupid thing to whinge about because its a pretty mundane part of life and not particularly time consuming.
