Alienware Arena: On Track Interview series with Team Dignitas Trackmania Players

On Track is a series produced by Team Dignitas author Kathryn 'TheWarrden' Notley in which she interviews our Trackmania players Tim 'Spam' Lunenberg and Carl Antoni 'CarlJr' Cloutier to discuss their career.

The first interview of this series is with Spam, our 18 year old Dutch Trackmania player. In this interview he discusses his history as a TrackMania player, eSports in general and his strict practice schedule.

"What draws you to compete in Trackmania as opposed to any other eSport?

Spam: I have been playing this game for over three years now and one year fully focused on the eSport side of it. I really enjoy playing racing games and putting all my focus on one game and becoming perfect at it is my only goal"



The second interview of this series is with CarlJr, our 15 year old Canadian TrackMania player. Similar to the Spam interview he discusses topics such as being a young pro gamer,  his practice regiment and what the future holds for him in esports.

"Being one of the youngest members of Team Dignitas and a professional gamer isn't something many people get to experience. Would you recommend it to other people and what are the downsides?

CarlJr: Yes! Why not? If you have the passion and the dedication you can really become good, even if you are young. One of the downsides of being a young pro gamer is the fact people in the industry are quick to judge you and assume you are too immature. Another downside is that sometimes, I can’t go out with my friends because I need to train for a big cup. This doesn’t really bother me too much because I have a lot of friends online that I get to talk to every day."
