n0te on settling in at Ninjas in Pyjamas: “I have complete freedom to suggest any ideas and make any decisions.”

Generally speaking, everyone, little by little. I think our coaches are doing an amazing job helping me. But I’ve also talked a lot with Snappi and everyone else. And sometimes, if they have any thoughts or advice, they share them. So, little by little, everyone. But that’s the upside—when there are so many great people on the team who are ready to help you.

The hardest part was the beginning, when I first got here and the possibility arose that I might be able to play in a few tournaments. It wasn’t exactly a tryout, but just the fact that I might have such a chance at all. For me, it was obviously a huge opportunity. I put a lot of pressure on myself. And at first, when I had just started playing with the team, I felt like I was playing more to just hold my own and avoid making silly mistakes. But now that I feel much more comfortable, I can just play Counter-Strike. So yes, the beginning was definitely the hardest part for me.

I still need to feel more confident about this, because sometimes it’s a little scary to take the initiative myself in an important match when there’s so much at stake. But the team trusts me. Snappi trusts me. The coaches trust me. Basically, I have complete freedom to suggest any ideas and make any decisions. So now it’s just a matter of feeling even more confident and doing that at the most crucial moments.
