Cameron
‘fams’ Carson has recently conducted an interview with Alessandro ‘Stermy’
Avallone for his most recent article; Motivation. As the title suggests the questions asked
were all concerning motivation and morale in regards to E-Sports.
You can see a snippet of the interview below as well as a link to the full
piece itself.
“Playing many different disciplines professionally must create a lot of stress, especially when you have to catch up in terms of the skill gaps, how do you stay motivated to practice and become professional?
“ Switching games, catching up in terms of skill gaps, it`s these that give me so much motivation and will to play and improve my game. It`s the part I love the most. Watching replays, studying other people`s styles, and tricks; it gives me so many things to work on and it helps me stay motivated to play more and more. When I see the results, when I see that I start increasing my skill, step by step improving my game and beating opponents that were so much better than me before, it`s a great feeling. “
After the CGS died was it hard to stay motivated towards E-Sports? Did you want to just give up on it?
“ It was definitely a hard hit, but let`s just say I was ready for such a thing to happen. I have seen it in the past (CPL,WSVG,etc), and I just dealt with it in the same way. It`s a transition time, things will get better in a few months, new games, new tournaments….. “
How would you say having a manager has helped you in terms of morale and motivation?
“ A manager / team manager is always there for you. It helps you get ready for a certain match, gives you motivation and a morale boost before tournaments, in some cases, even remember important key points before a certain match. “

Today Alessandro "stermy" Avallone will be attending via Live Streaming the E-Sports and Cyberathleticism: A HTGG Workshop"
to be held at Stanford University from 9:30am to 4:30pm PST on Friday, 8 May, 2009.
More details:
"The growth of professional computer gaming and what is often dubbed "e-sports" has yet to receive the serious scholarly attention it warrants. Given the ways it asks us to consider what serious and high performance play is, what spectatorship means for computer games, and indeed if this growing genre of entertainment is viable as a new form of sport, we feel it is time to turn an academic eye on the emerging world of pro-gaming. We are organizing this workshop to bring together members of the community - players, coaches, team managers, broadcasters, website and community organizers - to present their histories within the scene, ideas about where things are headed and current challenges, and generate discussion on the subject of e-sports and pro-gaming. We will be approaching cyberathletics from the general aspects of players, teams & coaching, and communities & spectatorship (one panel each). We will collaboratively investigate these related topics by looking at digital game technologies, communities, and cultures. Topics will include team selection, game playing strategies, game hacking & cheating, open source ideas, technology studies, spectatorship and broadcasting, fan culture, and notions of competitive coaching and management. In short, we will look critically and historically at the notions of professional competitive play in digital games in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
The event is organized, coordinated, and moderated by T.L. Taylor, Henry Lowood, Matteo Bittanti, Henrik Bennetsen, Susan Rojo and Amanda Glasser."
