Hello we at esporteye.net have made an long interview with Mr.Bitter about different topics, including life as a caster, ESL, GSL, MLG and some personal questions.
Part of the interview with Mr.Bitter
Hello Mr.Bitter and thanks for taking time for this interview, could you tell us a little bit more about yourself for the readers who may not know you?
Mr Bitter: Sure! I’m 26! Almost an old fart by gamer standards and I am basically a huge Starcraft nerd. I’ve played RTS for most my life, starting with Age of Empires, graduating to Broodwar, and, of course, moving to SC2 as soon as it was released. I play the game at a decent enough level, and was a member of the pro team VT Gaming for a period of time before they were disbanded to form the new super team Reign.
Now I’m best known for my 12 Weeks with the Pros coaching series, and will soon be moving to Germany to cast full time for the ESL.
What do you do when you are not playing or casting Starcraft 2?
Mr Bitter: Recently I’ve been spending my time away from the computer reading the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. I just finished the most recent book, though, so now I’m hurting for a new read.
Of course, at the heart of things, I’m a gamer, so there are tons of other games I like to play as well as Starcraft. League of Legends, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Team Fortress 2…. These are all likely to suck up and hour or two of my day if I’m not playing Starcraft.
Have you put the dreams of pro gaming aside and put your focus on casting, or could we see you in a tournament in the future?
Mr Bitter: Haha, actually part of my job description is to maintain a “high masters” rank on the European ladder, so I have to stay in decent shape. At the end of the day, though, I’m getting paid to be a caster and a show host, and, unfortunately, that means I won’t be allowed the same amount of practice time I’ve enjoyed in the past.
I would love to become a top level pro-gamer, but, at least for now, that dream is going to be put on hold for a little while.
So you basically get paid to play?
Mr Bitter:I don’t know if I’d go that far. I get paid to understand and present the game. If part of that means homework through gameplay, then I’m okay with that.
With your amazing Starcraft skills you are going to pick up a girl, what do you say?
Mr Bitter: lol. These questions are beyond epic.
All jokes about infesting spawning pools aside, I’d probably just tell her that I prefer a long macro game over a cheesy rush any day (and every night) of the week.
