Let's learn more about Joystick
Empire's Entry Fragger, known for his huge offensive plays and now part of the team favorites for the major title. Let's get to know the career of one of the scenes top players.
He recounts how his first contact with R6 was.:"I study at the university of e-sports and they were asked to collect the roster to play in the local tournament, it was the first p6 tournament in our city, thats how i start to play r6" but Rainbow Six wasn't his first game:"Yes, I played a lot in csgo for about 5 thousand hours and played a lot of tournaments there, personal progress was good but I could not find a team, constantly someone left the team for various reasons"
Following a failure to form a professional CS:GO team, Joystick tried to start a professional career in Rainbow Six:"After we played the first tournament (we took 4th place out of 4) I was very interested in the game due to its complexity and variety and i leave csgo and start to play in r6 a lot" He commented about his family reaction regarding his decision to become an R6 pro:"From the age of 11 I had a dream to play games professionally and tried to explain what it is to my parents, but they did not believe that it was possible to earn money playing computer games, after I went to tournaments in csgo they realized that I would do it anyway and they stared support me a lot"
His first Rainbow Six teams were "Our Names" (his University team) and "qtx" (together for 4 months). Joystick on his team partners at this start of career:"at the beginning of my career I played with the same players as I, who do not have much experience and we all just started to understand the mechanics of the game, some teammates are now playing in the Russian Major League"
At Six Invitational '18, Joystick had some friction with Room Factory (Pwn3f (Team Instinct), Shockwave (Forze), Redgroove (Chaos) and Sheepard (Empire)), and in competition the team ended up being eliminated at the group stage with two defeats. He commented about this championship:"In fact, we had a very bad atmosphere in the team at that time, in addition, the communication was in English, but we played well qualifications + we were a little lucky with the bracket, and then we ran into some problems on the LAN"
Forze could have acquired Joystick and his teammates, but that didn't happen. He explains the situation: "Forze was in a hurry to conclude contracts with us, but in the end we didn’t agree on the conditions, so we didn’t even play a single official match for them". After this, they signed with team Empire they got a great result in Challenger League and qualified for another Six Invitational, this time ending runners-up: "It was much better than last time, we were very confident, but still there were some problems with morality and the fact that we almost never played the Bo5 series and in the final we gave a lot of energy on the first map and were morally suppressed after defeat on 1 map".
In, Pro League S9, the team had incredible campaign at the regional phase and arrived at the finals, passed trough DarkZero, Fnatic and played Evil Geniuses at the Final, with their opponents opening 6-3 on the second map, one round away from being crowned Champions. But Empire reversed the tides and became champions in Map 3. He commented about the moment when they were on the brink of elimination "We knew that Oregon is one of our best maps and we can take it, we only needed to control their aggression, we just played with a new player in this tournament and he really helped us in terms of morality" Dan, who came in as a sub, became important to the team that season, and caught many people (of other regions) by surprise, he explained the teams choice:"Yes, it was a strange substitute, if you didn’t know what atmosphere was in the team, but it was necessary, we played a lot of games in ranked with Dan and we just knew him as a person, so we decided to take a chance and try it, fortunately the risk was justified and already at our place first lan he became MVP"
Does intense routine of official matches and training wear out the pleasure of R6 for fun? We asked Joystick about it: "I really like to play scrimms, but if you go into ranked after them, then it's horrible,especially if you play solo, because no one gives information and everybody runs out into every window, so no one takes seriously ranked"
We also asked him about the defeat that still hurts him the most, and he replied the Six Invitational '19 finals loss:"Of course, the most annoying defeat is against G2 in the final on the first map, so far I sometimes think that we could change to win as well as the defeat from Team Secret in the final of qualifications for Paris Major because I have a lot of kills like 26 or 27 in the first 2 maps, and we still lost" But he also remembers his top R6 moments:"I am very proud of my team that we were able to turn the game against EG in Oregon"
Empire are in the thick of Raleigh action, and he say that the team is confident about the tournament "Of course, we are aimed at victory at every tournament and we are training hard for this tournament and we want to take 1 more title"
Joystick ends the interview with a thank you to his and Empires' fans "I love all our fans very much, thank you so much for cheering, see you at Raleigh Major <3"
