Check out the exclusive conversation we had with Guilherme spacca Spacca.
How did you know Counter Strike and when did you start playing?
I met Counter Strike in 2004 at a lan house next to my school.
So, that first time I went, I was already in love with the game.
I didn’t know that there was a competitive scenario, with teams and training.
I found this very interesting and so I started to dedicate myself more to the game.
I’ve been playing Counter Strike for 16 years.
The Brazilian scenario of CS:GO grows a lot, and I think professionalization is important.
Today we have organizations that invest a lot, with good structure, but little protection for the players.
I wish there was a league / union project for the players that would defend their interests.
Perhaps some laws that value CS:GO players.
I think for an organization to be successful, it needs to think long term.
This is not the case.
They got their hands on players, on punctual decisions and so were successful.
Investment to hire the best players, having a gaming house, among others, is also essential.
Currently you have the functions of Caster/Analyst, how is this experience?
My experience as a Caster/Analyst is being very cool.
I saw things that at the time were difficult for me to see.
I wouldn’t be competing professionally again, even with a good proposal.
My mission on Counter Strike in general, I already did.
As a professional, I competed in three different CS, 1.6, Source and CS: GO.
I don’t see CS:GO threatened by the arrival of Valorant.
A mixture of Overwatch with CS, the graphics that are more childlike can catch a younger audience.
What was your most striking moment on Counter Strike?
There were several, complicated to say just one.
I think when I was asked to play at the MIBR in 2009 it was a very incredible feeling.
Raphael cogu Camargo called me calling me.
In closing, do you have any person who inspires you in this profession?
I don’t have someone in particular that inspires me.
It’s not just Counter Strike, I don’t have many idols in music and football for example.
I am a more relaxed person, I admire several players, but I never had one in particular.
I make a run at get more inspiration from people outside the game, for example, my parents.
So to sum up, I was inspired more by mine than by any specific player.
