From “What the heck is esports?!?” to “Heck yea, esports!”
Video games have always been in my blood. From my dad’s passion for flight simulators and my mom’s love for platformers & puzzle games like “Tetris”. My chosen lane was FPSes & RTSes.
Once upon a time, I was a serious Pro-AM FPS competitor (mostly COD4 Promod & the Battlefield series. Along the way, I picked up shoutcasting (literally during the era of Winamp’s Shoutcast) after having one of my online matches commentated on by the folks of then, based in ANZ, Gamestah Radio (now Gamestah Media). Having a background in the Performing Arts & Musical Choir made it an easy hobby to pick up.
Esports & video game commentary was almost non-existent in SEA back in 2008. You could probably count the number of casters on one hand! A lot of effort went into educating brands & game publishers about the merits of making use of commentary to enhance their event experience. Fortunately, it was only a matter of time before they & the public were hooked!
To date, I’ve casted & hosted at over 50 events. I’ve worked with more than 30 unique clients & have casted around 44 game titles spanning 8 game genres.
