Story of Gaming & eSports
“To be a professional gamer you need a good communication with other people. You are most often in a team. To be friends with your team, that’s number one key. Without having fun, you won’t become big.“ Besides school Simon “Schimpi“ Svensson works as a professional gamer at Natus Vincere. What does he like most about that? “The coolest thing about my job is probably traveling to different countries, exploring things. But also be able to get money for playing a game you love. That’s pretty cool.“
