Love you all - Kremer <3

Hi from India!

I feel myself approaching the end of my career, not fully gone yet but as I'm sure you've seen we've just not been picked up for anything this year outside of convergence and going into next year I've got exactly 0 events planned

So I see a lot of people ask questions about casters and events etc on vlr and they usually never get a response, mainly due to fear of TO retaliation

So guys ask away, I'll answer (almost) everything honestly and openly, and if you have any questions for the other casters here, fire away

The main one I get is why I never, went on VCL SA, simply put, I tried many many times to get on there, but I assume Nodwin wanted guys local to the area, granted they never replied so I genuinely don't know

On that note as well, you guys genuinely got me out of some really depressing times, the love you've given to pavlos and I brought me to tears, especially after the apac lcq last year. Your support means the fucking world to us and I want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you <3

Anyways, ask away <3

how to get started in the coach/analyst side of esports?

The analyst side, I started as a caster doing esea open games, and then grew from that into smaller tournaments, the analyst side you slowly pick up as you work both roles initially

Habibi, I can't write Arabic but it sounds like uh-he-bok-ee (I love you), once again, no word from the TO so maybe? Hopefully? Before we were contracted by Promod however they went out of business like 2 weeks ago haha

Bhai I was always gonna retire after this event, sometimes it feels like I just don't know the right people or don't have the right agency, alas, maybe I'm just not good enough. The issue with this industry is we never know and never get told

What would be your favorite and best memory in the line of casting/being an analyst? And a bad memory as well

#25

Best memory would be APAC LCQ, putting myself and pavlos on the map and genuinely just having an amazing casting team around us. Close 2nd and 3rd are the 2 times I've cast in India, my first time casting internationally in Bulgaria was awesome as well, going to Sweden and meeting my mentor and now extremely close friend

As for worst, brother there are so many lows lol, waiting over 6 months to get paid, so much TO drama, the akuma vs navi match in Cs being fixed (I'll probably tell the story of that on a stream but we watched navi get ddosed in real time, random observers join mid game, gotv having 0 delay), being used to undercut other casters against our knowledge, realising the phrase "never meet your heros" exists for a reason

Like the highs of this job are so fucking high, but the lows are so damn low

Edit: would you want me to actually just tell stories from my times travelling? Both in esports and out?

Any stories are always welcomed because we never really get to see the world from the people that are behind the scenes of esports and casters are in a similar position where they cast but have so much to share about esports

Yeah man, well if you wanna know anything ask away,

I don't really fear retaliation from TOs or other casters anymore so be as controversial as you want

Most of the talent rumours are true, usually they're worse than you hear because as they go from person to person they get watered down due to people protecting those who told them

How about the bad side of this all? Like do TOs band together against casters or have players/TOs ever done things to put a bad name to casters (including you)? I would like to know about experiences which just feels very wrong and unprofessional

TOs don't work against casters, the actual malicious stuff comes from other casters lol

TOs can harm casters by having bad events and treating talent badly, for instance I had an event where they just didn't show us where to get food, so when we start at 7am and finish at 11pm, none of the shops were open and we went like 2 days without food

I damaged my own career by going to Ukraine, which made me "political"

It's hard to give specific examples due to my friends potentially becoming collateral damage due to just being associated with me (yes, people are that petty)

How many times have you been forced to cast a game whose players you absolutely hated personally?

I don't think ever actually, the players know you're part of their branding as a caster, a good example with JuicySG was "the juice is loose", so there's usually quite a bit of respect between players and casters (especially in apac)
