0s hello everyone my name is Spam and
3s welcome to the very first episode of
5s Meet the trekmania community
8s [Music]
11s and my first interaction with Trek Mania
13s was back when I was still in in school a
16s friend showed it to me it was uh the
18s year 2008 so I visited his house quite
22s often to uh play trick Mania and I was
24s hooked ever since I managed to get
26s myself my own PC back then I don't have
29s like full memories but I I do remember
32s playing full speed mainly it was always
34s like very fast maps with loopings wall
37s rides big jumps and then later on I
40s started playing more of the nadeo
41s campaign and joined my very first uh
44s Team or Clan as we called it back in the
47s days to do some competitions against
48s each other I wanted more I wanted a
50s bigger challenge that's when I started
52s playing against more of the back then
55s Pro players mainly in 2010 is when I
58s switched over to more of the serious
61s Tech competitions
63s um that's also when I saw like
64s qualifications for eswc back then and I
68s was very interested because Esports at
70s the time was very small on 2011 I did
72s indeed qualify myself for the World Cup
74s after looking up to bergy winning it in
77s 2011 I didn't win it I got fourth which
80s is a extreme feat for my very first
82s offline event at the biggest stage from
85s there on it only went better and better
87s from the moment I started
90s um trying my best to compete in Trek
92s Mania I wanted to become the best and
94s that was my goal from uh from that
97s specific moment and well how do you rate
99s someone to be the best well in my
101s opinion it's if you win the World Cup
105s foreign
129s universe
135s I win in 2012. can I stay at the top for
138s as long as I can and that was that was
140s then my next stage basically I wanted to
143s prove to everyone that I was still a
145s very good player 2014 I got fourth at
148s the World Cup again and then in 2015 I
151s also got top four in the World Cup again
153s so when you see your your play things
156s dwindled down a little bit you think to
157s yourself man what am I doing wrong do I
159s have to put in more effort do I need to
161s change my training regime what is going
164s on with me where I cannot stay at the
166s top anymore so it's really mentally
168s draining after like 12 years of playing
171s you get to a point where you take things
174s a little bit more easier because you
176s have done so much I was putting in so
178s much effort to try my best for good
180s results and the results didn't come it
183s was a very hard decision for me to make
185s to stop trekmania Grand league but it
188s was inevitable right now I'm very happy
189s with that decision I feel much better I
192s feel much more relaxed and also like you
195s know Closing one door is not always the
197s end of everything because it will open
199s up many other doors I think my very
202s first streams were in 2012 and this was
205s right after I won the uh the World Cup I
207s wasn't team dignitas at the time and uh
210s Michael Odell who was the CEO of Team
213s dignity just told me yeah you should get
216s into streaming because people would
217s really want to watch like a Pro Gamer
219s showcase their driving and I was
222s streaming for like five or six people
223s because
224s it was only mainly dignitas people that
227s knew that I was streaming I didn't have
229s social media I didn't have anything but
231s it was fun and eventually it started
233s growing a little bit I got to 20 viewers
235s I was super happy with 20 viewers back
237s then I remember this I started streaming
239s which eventually turned out to be like
242s my work right now which is crazy to
245s think about but it didn't come easy at
247s all I started with like five viewers and
249s now I'm streaming for a thousands plus
250s like it's it's a very long journey that
253s I just kept on going with and uh yeah I
256s cannot be more happy where I am right
257s now my growth has been very very
259s consistent and steady consistency for me
262s has been my winning factor I never
264s really skipped out on anything I still
267s really really enjoy playing trick Mania
269s I think I will never ever stop playing
270s this game it has been 50 of my entire
273s life I've been playing trick Mania which
276s is insane to think about I found my
279s Social Circle really online that's
282s basically where I found my myself being
285s the happiest I had my friends online it
287s was really a thing where I learned how
289s to how to socialize how to speak English
292s there are definitely skills that you can
294s learn throughout gaming in general and I
297s think it's very frowned upon that people
299s or like older generation always says oh
302s yeah you never socialize blah blah blah
304s blah but gaming is is socializing it's
307s just in a different way I really have
309s one one particular goal in mind that I
313s still want to do and that is host and
314s host my own offline event I always think
317s back at the times when I played The Nest
319s when we had 16 players in a villa with
322s very nice weather we had a swimming pool
324s the vibe was really nice and I missed
328s that I I really want to maybe try
330s something in a similar Trend that's
332s going to be my main focus that I really
335s want to do is host an offline event
336s that's the goal so like I said early on
339s I always try to set myself goals to work
341s towards this is my next one
