The subject for the 60th episode of my 'Grilled' interview series is myself: Duncan "Thorin" Shields, Editor-in-Chief of Team Acer. In this one-off episode I'm interviewed by OGN LoL commentator MonteCristo.
Some of the topics discussed: -My early writing career. -Becoming an expert in Counter-Strike. -Moving into CS commentary. -The techniques I use for researching and conducting my interviews. -The goals behind the Grilled series. -Hemmingway's 'iceberg theory'. -Sports journalism, related to esports journalism. -Advice for aspiring esports journalists.
I enjoyed this interview, in particular the development of your interview style, and the many general observations on becoming good at something. I look forward to your future content.
Thorin, I'm a big fan of your work, and have been thinking of ways to contribute to eSports for awhile now. This video really inspired me. I was wondering if you might be willing to grant me an interview for a piece I've been working on?
Had no idea that's how you look like haha. Edit: Hope that didn't come off as condescending! It was more me coming to realization that as much as I love your Grilled interviews, I actually know nothing of you Thorin. Anyhow, great interview (this one goes to Monte Crisco I presume)!
EPT
Grilled is definitively something I just cannot get enough of!
