Another week, another SpeedRunners pro interview. Last time we talked to Decard Cain -- this week it's all about DistinctMadness, a SpeedRunners player who has seen plenty of ESL action over the months. Let's do it, DistinctMadness-flavored.

SpeedRunners Meet The Pros - DistinctMadness

DistinctMadness' YouTube channel Quick-facts:

  • Real name: Jacob

  • Age: 16

  • From: America

  • League: Platinum League

  • Favourite SpeedRunners character: Moonraker

  • Favourite map: Night Club

  • Favourite item: The Pulse/Shockwave

  • How did you get into SpeedRunners?

I saw some videos on YouTube and was like, "Hey that's cool." Didn't buy it for a while though, due to lack of funds. After Christmas that year, without informing those who would be paying, I bought the game and have been hooked ever since.

  • How long have you been playing the game?

Since December 30th, 2013

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

As of now it'd be hard to say who is a rival, but the name that comes to mind is Unreal.

  • How would you class your playing style?

Either stay just barely in the lead until you can win, or chill in the back and let the other players knock each other out

  • How do you prepare for SpeedRunners tournaments?

I start warming up at least an hour early, while wearing a hoodie with the hood up. I also play specific maps that I believe will be picked more than others. Its all about the predictions.

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

Whenever you run into somebody who is beating you in a game, instead of leaving because you can't win, keep playing until you start beating that player, no matter how long it takes. If you have to leave, try to add the person to play with later. Rage quitting gets you nowhere.
