Last weekend I was lucky enough to be one of the nine-thousand attendees at the historic FaceIT Major. Everything the weekend entailed, whether it be reuniting with friends or meeting an esports legend, was amazing.
Along with spotting numerous professional players and sitting with UK CS’s hottest property, Smooya, I also managed to meet and have photos with Complexity Gaming’s Founder and CEO, Jason Lake. Whilst being such a big fan of Jason made the experience very surreal, I like to think I made the most of the opportunity to meet such an iconic figure in the industry, managing to get photos and discuss the event at hand.
Post-event, I wrote an article for ENUK. It was effectively an overview that covered what happened at the UK’s first Major and offered readers an insight into the antics of the weekend. To read the article, click here.
I'm Jamie Wootton, an esports enthusiast in the UK.
In 2019, I’m planning to apply to join the University of Staffordshire’s BA (Hons) Esports course which focuses on the business side of the industry.
Previously I only followed CS:GO, the game which got me into esports and competitive gaming, however recently I have been making an effort to branch out by watching other esports including FIFA and Rocket League. I’ve attended tournaments in the domestic scene and have been watching those streamed on the global stage.
I’m aware I have more to learn about the industry, and so I’ve decided to make a start by talking to key figures about the scene. I’ve created this blog to publish esports related content including interviews that I’ve recorded along the way.
I hope you'll join me on my journey as I try to learn more about the wider esports space. If you have something to add to what I've published on my blog, or wish to get in contact with me, please complete the contact form.
