SpeedRunners Meet The Pros - Taters

• How did you get into SpeedRunners?

I found the game through Coestar’s YouTube channel, playing with Pauseunpause and AvidyaZEN, seeing them play is what made me buy it. But what really got me hooked was when I played for myself. I joined a little after ranked was added, when I first got to Expert / Bronze league I was matched against my first Silver league (highest league at the time) and was surprised / impressed by how much faster / better I could get. So I kept playing. Once I was the first player to Gold league I decided to record some gameplay, that’s what has kept me interested so far.

• How long have you been playing the game?

Since 26th April 2014

• Are there any other SpeedRunners players who you class as your rivals?

Where do I start? Let’s just say "everyone" except We Live (Am I Confused?)

• How would you class your playing style?

Asinine / Fatuous

• How do you prepare for SpeedRunners tournaments?

I don’t really, now and again I’ll do a quick sacrificial ritual

• What's your advice for other players looking to go pro at SpeedRunners?

My best advice is probably to just play for entertainment, not for points or whatever
