I'm a fan of your work Xeris. Can you comment on what your full time projects are now? Did you receive "compensation" from Fnatic?

Was it a mutually agreeable split? Did they attempt to offer you a "sweet heart" deal for 2012?

In regards to NASL, do you have any funny stories like the time Gretorp stayed up all night playing SC2 but had to cast 12-14 hours of NASL the following day. Reportedly, Gretorp got 6 coffees and put them in his bag for the day. When the coffee ran out, so did Gretorp. He apparently fell asleep while casting.

When he woke up he would say the same thing Incontrol said a few seconds before

Best of luck Xeris

Full time projects: NASL, CSL. I basically cut my work load in half, which means I have about 1000x as much time to put into those two things :D!! VERY excited about this.

Did I receive compensation from Fnatic: yes I did.

Mutually agreeable split: yes it was, and no they didn't offer me a sweet heart deal, I chose not to re-new my contract.

I have so many funny stories... most of which involve Gretorp sleeping.

What does it take to get into your business? I'm not at a point where i can play at the pro level even though i'm only 17 compared to people who have been playing for years now, i'd still like to atleast attempt to help the E-sports scene because i think it is one of the few sports that hasn't fallen to corruption, even if there are a few big egos around. How can i get into the scene on less of a caster level and more of a let me make shit happen level.

Daily duties include... writing news articles (I wrote about 15-20 per month), making sure people came to clanwars, handled scheduling of events / tournaments, travel schedules, budgeting, and overseeing other duties like making sure players wrote their blogs, did video content, etc.

It was very stressful at times, especially dealing with some players is much more difficult than others (maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa), but overall, managing a team is very fun, at least for me.
