– Hello Crazyguy, can you introduce yourself to the readers of Thethao.vn?
Hi everybody! I'm Ngo Cong Anh, also known for Ingame is Crazyguy. This year I am 24 years old, living and playing in Ho Chi Minh City.
– When did you pursue electronic sports? What is your first impression on electronic sports? What has attracted you?
I started playing Esports officially since I was 18 years old with CS: GO. Previously, I had participated in another FPS, which was a speedy team since I was in 8th grade. What attracts myself with a professional Esports career is probably the competition and victory. The feeling when you are better than others is really “very” (laugh).
– What is the first electronic sport that you play? Why is it?
The first sports sport I played was a FPS game, a speedy squad. From the first days of playing CS 1.1, I felt fascinated by FPS because of the diversity and drama of these games. Before playing CS: GO, I made an effort to “plow” League of Legends for a period of time but really the feeling of passion is not equal to the FPS game.
– How does the family react to the decision to pursue his professional career?
Like many other families, no parents want their children to pursue their eSports career. But later, knowing that he could make money and have the opportunity to go abroad to play, his parents also lessened the aversion to his professional competition. However, it is only a part.
– When starting a professional competition, who he pursues and why?
At the beginning, his model was Robin “Fifflaren” Johansson of Nip and then Kenny “Kennys” Shrub. In fact, the person with the greatest influence on their play style is Kennys with active shooting and not giving the opponent the opportunity to react.
– It is known that Crazyguy used to have time to go abroad, so what is the reason for him to leave Vietnam to play for a foreign team?
There is no special reason. I feel that the player in Vietnam is not well treated as well as the opportunity to develop a lot. Meanwhile, the players are more respected, the tournaments are also more and the larger awards. That is why CS: GO Vietnam is increasingly going down and other countries are increasingly going up, because they have worthy investment.
– What difficulties did you have during the time of playing abroad? What was your most memorable memory at that time?
Perhaps I am also lucky to have no difficulty or obstacles when playing abroad. All the organizations that have used to treat and treat the players are very good. So, I just need to focus on playing to get the best form. Memories must have met many new friends and new teammates.
– Have you ever thought about giving up eSports to do another job yet? If you do not play professionally, what will your work be?
I have never thought about giving up eSports, because I am still young and still do well with this job. Therefore, there is no reason for me to think about giving up.
– How was you charming with Steal Your Glory (SYG)? Why did you choose Valorant and not any other subject?
I was charming with SYG partly through coach Pham “Shouta” Quang Thang (current coach of SYG). At that time, I and other friends wanted to play with Valorant. Coincidentally, it is also the time when Tony Nguyen (founder of SYG) is also looking to build a squad to compete for leading positions in Vietnam. And so we came together. And why is Valorant simply because it is a FPS game.
– In the first stage of establishment, what challenges have Syg faced?
The challenge that we face is probably living together. 5 people come from different environments, with different personalities, so they also need time to get used to each other in the living stage.
– Why did you give up CS: GO to switch to Valorant? Does the income with Valorant improve more than CS: GO or not?
Giving up CSGO to Valorant because I and my teammates realized that Valorant had a better tournament system than CS: GO. I do not have to play the tournaments but when the championship only receives 1 to 2 million VND as in CS: GO. Instead, the total prize value of VCT in the Valorant game is up to 500 million VND.
– Is the pressure of the captain's role in Syg great? Why are you resting in the next tournament?
Talking about pressure, perhaps their teammates will feel bigger. Because, I am the perfect type of pursuit, so it is very difficult and strict with my teammates. In addition, the ThinkPro tournament I did not participate because I wanted to rest and give my hand injury to heal.
– What are the advantages of valorant?
Diverse, this is what I like the most. Because you have to think broadly in a match, not your thinking to win.
– At VCT: Vietnam Stage 3 Challengers 1, he no longer played in the role of Duelist but instead it was NTK, so what caused this change?
The designer felt that he was uncomfortable in using the consolidated agents, so SYG changed to support the designer. For me, anyone who plays in any position is as long as it is suitable to win.
– In your opinion, where is Valorant Vietnam compared to other strong areas like Indonesia and Thailand?
I think Valorant Vietnam is not inferior to your country.
– Do you think you are known for Valorant?
I don't pay much attention to this. However, it is clear that CS: GO makes me more famous.
In his opinion, can Valorant rise to become the leading FPS in the future?
Based on the statistics of the number of viewers, the tournament system as well as the prize, Valorant will surely develop very strongly in the future.
– Thanks to the sharing of Crazyguy, wish you a lot of health and successfully compete in the upcoming tournaments!
