blasé is known for being a flexible player with strong performances on several heroes. This will prove essential to Boston Uprising to be able to round out different compositions successfully, throughout season 2 of Overwatch League.

What made you decide to pursue a career in professional gaming?

blasé: I felt that I had the talent and work ethic to make it. I also had no interest in anything else but professional gaming.

What was the first ever video game you played and do you feel other game experience has helped your Overwatch play?

blasé: First game I remember playing at a very young age was Halo: Combat Evolved for the PC and that really sparked my interest in PC gaming and FPS's in general. Prior to Overwatch I played TF2, basically all of my teenage years and competed in ESEA Open and IM. I also had phases of playing DOTA 2 and CSGO which I also think helped in my Overwatch play. I believe you can get something out of any competitive game to help you understand the depth out of Overwatch.

Now that you've made it as a pro gamer, what does your schedule look like and what did you have to sacrifice to make it work?

blasé: Schedule varies team to team but usually I wake up around noon, practice with the team for 4-6 hours, then relax. One obvious sacrifice is my education, I had 1 semester done in college prior to OWL and I really thought I could make it in OWL so I asked my parents to give me 1 year.

Which OWL team are you looking forward to compete against this season?

blasé: I don't really have one. It is my first season of OWL so I'm looking forward to play everyone.

Is there any Overwatch hero you would like to see more of this OWL season?

blasé: I wish to see less GOATS but that's not happening at least for stage 1. Overall I just hope to see more DPS and comp variety's.

Do you have a personal favorite OWL player or rival player this season?

blasé: Corey as a rival, he is a friend and old teammate. (Editor note: Corey Nigra is a DPS player on Washington Justice, previously having played under Contenders team Gladiators Legion with blasé)

What would you consider your focus is to help your team improve throughout this OWL season?

blasé: Maximize my healing output on brig and to make sure I armor-pack my Reinhardt. In all seriousness, I am a heavy commer and have a very large hero pool so I'm going to focus on being the puzzle piece that always fits in what we play, while providing the comms we need.

What advice do you have for players looking to improve on Doomfist in both solo and team play?

blasé: Don't. After doom got nerfed to the ground there is basically 0 reason to play him, even as a troll pick. I'd even say you would get more value out of torb or sym than Doomfist. Hopefully blizzard changes something about him so he is playable again.

What do you plan to do in the future, after OWL?

blasé: Probably pursue my education again, if possible even transition into staff or something esports related, but who knows I'm still 19 and got a lot of time ahead of me.
