Yes there is.Everyone is racing each other to be speediest player in the world. This game is like Game of Thrones right now *cough cough*

• How would you class your playing style?

My play style depends on my opponent. If he/she plays dirty, I will too. If he doesn't use items, I don't either. But generally I'm doing cool stuff even if I'm going to lose. After I got to Diamond League, I stopped caring so much about points, or about losing and winning. Right now I care more about item timings, like not using items directly when I get an item.

I preparing for SpeedRunners tournaments by practising my weakest played maps in single player mode. Then I go practice them in ranked or quick.

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

If you join a ranked game with a player who is a league above you, don't quit. Just watch them carefully, and try to apply their tactics afterwards in singleplayer mode.
