Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez sat down with the hosts of “The Bridge”–a GINX Esports TV show, based out of the United Kingdom–to talk about his ELEAGUE experience. The 20-minute interview is dense with information, covering topics from his start in the FGC to his present-day appearances. (And I do mean appearances, in every sense of the word.)
Gootecks goes into his humble beginnings as a video maker for Family Fun Arcade, producing podcasts and tournament videos for his local Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike scene. It’s a stark difference from the heart of the interview: his sudden and surprising appearance on TBS’s ELEAGUE. Gootecks seems well aware of his place among the ELEAGUE cast, and even comments on how this was an opportunity to stand out from the pros. He also gives his hot take on who expects to see in top 8, and what he expects of the show’s production going forward.
