| 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 |
