00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,139
(Will Fairbairn) I've been gaming since I was a little
Kid. My dad was a gamer himself, so it was

4
00:00:12,139 --> 00:00:16,100
just always in the house. So I was always
playing with him, and I think it started

5
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:18,910
competitively when I was about 13.

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,860
(Fairbairn) I feel like a big part

8
00:00:23,869 --> 00:00:29,630
of my success in esports is because of
the skills I developed, I should say from

9
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:34,800
the military about communication, about
planning and confidence.

10

11
00:00:39,739 --> 00:00:43,399
(Fairbairn) As an analyst, right, you make a lot of
products for different types of people,

12
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:49,190
and the same kind of stuff that you want
in an intelligence product is the same

13
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:52,370
kind of stuff you you want when you're
developing the planning stuff before you

14
00:00:52,370 --> 00:00:56,300
go into the game. When we're planning out strategies on what we're going to do or

15
00:00:56,300 --> 00:01:00,530
practicing setups on how we want to, you
know, shape the map and stuff like that, I

16
00:01:00,530 --> 00:01:05,089
actually have PowerPoint slides of, you
know, positioning and, like, little boxes

17
00:01:05,089 --> 00:01:09,040
with, you know, text and headings and
stuff like that.

00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:12,300
[In-game sounds]

19
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:14,640
[Fairbairn] There's
nothing better than after a round ends

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,360
when you realize that you made a good
play, like you made the right decision,

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:24,300
you know, and it just leaves you wanting
more, and I think that at the end of the

22
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:30,769
day, if there was one thing that keeps me
locked in, it's that wanting more.
