Today, Gage "Sasquatch" Dubose from the compLexity Academy will be moving into compLexity's Gamma Gamer House in Houston, TX. With this move, Sasquatch becomes the first non-rostered compLexity player to reside in the house.
Earlier this week we at compLexity were able to sit down with Sasquatch, one of the compLexity Academy's most promising players. Talking about his recent MLG/WCS US Nationals run, his seeding into the MLG Summer Arena, and his upcoming move to compLexity's Gamma Gamer House, Sasquatch lets us know why he is a player you should be keeping an eye on.
Getting right into things, you'll be moving into the new compLexity Gamma Gamer House soon. How does it feel to be the first Academy member to move into the Gamma Gamer House? Do you feel like there will be any extra pressure to preform well once you move into the house? How long do you plan on staying there and what are your goals for the Gamma Gamer House? Also, what are you looking forward to most about moving into the Gamma Gamers House?
I’m really honored that I was chosen to go to the house first, outside of stuff like summer camp/vacations (although this almost does feel like that to me) I’ve never been away from home! I should be staying there up until MLG Raleigh, with a small trip to NYC in between to take part in MLGs Summer Arena. I feel little to no pressure because this is the first time I’ve been able dedicate most of my time in a day to StarCraft, other players have had a head start
, but I do want to prove to the team and to everyone else that I can have a return on any investments made upon me. My main goal there is obviously practice, I plan to play as much as most Koreans do, I remember Dongraegu specifically saying 30 games a day was what he played, so I need to play more then that to catch up. I think I’m most looking forward to being somewhere where my only objective is literally to play as much of a videogame as I can, I never thought I would be in a position like that :D.
Moving across the country to live in a progaming house seems like a dream for anyone interested in eSports. That said, I'm sure it's not all sunshine and smiles. What are some sacrifices you'll have to make in order to move into the Gamma Gamers House?
At this point I don’t think I’m really sacrificing anything. My dream is to get on to compLexity's main team and I need to plunge in head first with no doubts in my mind if I’m going to have that happen.
Moving on from the Gamma Gamers House, you recently made you first appearance at a major LAN when you competed in the MLG Spring Championships and WCS US Nationals. You were able to take out some pretty notable players like Machine, Yata, and Haypro. How do you feel about your performance at the tournament? Are you satisfied with your results? What were your goals going into the tournament?
I was happy with that result in particular because I really didn’t have much practice before the event and did a lot better than I expected, it was the furthest I’ve gotten in a major tournament and I actually lost to my good friend and practice partner Suppy in both WCS and MLG, who I think is one of the nicest guys in eSports and deserves all the attention he gets.
