Since World eSport is up and running, the concept of a dedicated professional network for eSport & Gaming has caught more and more attention. Not only is World eSport being published on various news sites, it has also been able to draw the attention of more pro-gamers, who have created their profile on www.worldesport.com. We have been in close touch with one of them, PR Balrog and have taken the initiative to interview him about his career, eSport and of course, World eSport. Check out the full interview below!

Join us on www.worldesport.com, the professional social network dedicated to Gaming & eSport!

Evil Geniuses – PR Balrog

World eSport: Hi PR Balrog, for our readers who are not quite sure about who you are, could you briefly introduce yourself?

PR Balrog: Hi, my name is Eduardo ‘PR Balrog’ Perez and I play Street Fighter professionally.

‘Understands my passion’

World eSport: Managing a job and your pro gamer career, that is something a lot of young people would love to achieve! How do you cope with that? Do you have a tight plan you stick to?

PR Balrog: My job is very understanding of what I do outside of my work schedule and I’m very lucky to have a manager that understands my passion. I usually have a tight schedule but it always ends up working out.

‘I would not be here if it was not for them’

World eSport: How do you describe your 4 years at Evil Geniuses? What was your biggest highlight?

PR Balrog: TBH Evil Geniuses was basically like my mother and father and I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them.

My biggest highlight with them is either getting multiple top 8’s at Evolution or beating Daigo in the Capcom Cup 2014 with a red focus. (You can watch his match here)

‘A dream come true’

World eSport: What does eSport represent for you? How did it influence your life/professional career?

PR Balrog: eSport is like a dream for me and the reason why I say this is because when I used to play video games at a young age, all you could hear was “stop playing games so much”, “you’re ruining your future”, etc ., but now, the fact that competitive gamers are seen in stadiums, where actual sports players play, is a dream come true.

Last but not least, if it wasn’t for eSports I wouldn’t be here today and probably would have a boring job.

‘Bigger than actual sports’

World eSport: What do you think of the way eSport is booming? Is it only short term or will it continue growing? Where do you see the eSport industry going in the upcoming years?

PR Balrog: I believe that eSport will become bigger than actual sports and will be here with continued growth.

In the upcoming years I see eSports getting a dedicated TV channel where they show the biggest tournaments of every game.

‘Gamers don´t really have anything like World eSport’

World eSport: You have recently created your account on www.worldesport.com. What caught your attention and motivated you to create your account?

PR Balrog: We have other platforms that are catered to normal jobs. What got my attention is that gamers don’t really have anything like World eSport, so I think this is a great opportunity for not only the players but also for other organizations as well, in order to look at the background and credibility of the players.

‘Better than LinkedIn’

World eSport: According to you, how will World eSport help the eSport industry and its actors? Would you recommend the platform to your fans?

PR Balrog: I would definitely recommend the platform, because there are a lot of hidden talents that organizations don’t know of and I think that World eSport will be a start to something than can become better than LinkedIn.

‘Never give up’

World eSport: There are more and more young players out there, willing to make a name for themselves and get to the top in eSport. What would be your advice to them?

PR Balrog: Work on your talking skills, practice a lot, never give up, and remember that 5 minutes on camera can be better than winning a tournament.

‘Thank you!’

World eSport: Thanks a lot for your time PR Balrog, we hope to see you often on World eSport. The final word of this interview is for you!

PR Balrog: Thank you so much for the opportunity and thank you so much to my supporters. I love you all.
