Haro-

This is the first video recording for a Q&A Corner

OK, this time we're going to answer questions from Mondo's listeners

In charge of reading the questions is me, Sovault

I'm good at Japanese (?) and often play with Mondo. Let's start.

Why do you like Japan?

Ee... Firstly, I like Japanese dramas and animations

The food is also delicious, that's how I started liking Japan

I see, what dramas do you watch?

Recently, I liked watching "HiGH&LOW" and "Crows ZERO"

That's why you keep calling Vodka with "Serizawa!"

By the way, what food do you like?

I like ramen the most

What kind of ramen?

Ichiran Ramen (ramen franchise in Japan)

Ichiran! Tonkotsu ramen then

Is there anything else you like other than ramen?

Sushi

Ah, sushi is good too, right

Have you ever eaten sushi in Japan?

Yeah, I have

What filling do you like?

Eel! Or tuna.

What part of the tuna do you like? There's ootoro and chuutoro...

I don't know what, I just ate them.

Since it's ordered for you, it should be something pricey

Yeah.

I like chuutoro

Eh? Eh?

Right, I forgot this is Mondo's QA corner

This year's resolution!

It's already May though www (we accepted the questions on January)

Right now, it's to have 300.000 subscribers on YouTube

I think 300.000 is possible!

But it's already May and I just reached 140.000 subs, so it might be impossible

But recently you've been playing in competitions with people from other industries as well

From those, Japanese people who follows Apex will increase

Then those people might come to watch Mondo's playing or talking streams

so I think you can get 300.000 subs.

That's good, everyone please watch.

Why did Mondo became a pro-gamer?

This is going to be a long story...

At first, I was a pro-gamer for PUBG

I just started streaming, back then it was on Twitch

and then a pro-gamer coach invited me into the team,

and that's when it started.

I wasn't thinking about becoming a pro player then

But since a coach invited me, I thought why not give it a try.

So it started from your curiosity.

Did you manage to leave any amazing records in PUBG back then?

No, I was probably only a pro-gamer for PUGB for 3 months

That's short!

I just got bored with PUBG so I quit back then

Then you became a pro player for Apex?

After that, I thought, "let's just quit the gaming industry"

"I should find a more realistic job,"

and after that a battle royale game that needs skills came out, that's Apex.

I thought to give it a try, so I did.

Back then, there was a team I met at the scrim.

It was the Korean team called "MVP"

Yeah, the team's no more now,

I think, on the scrim, I defeated all the team members with a Longbow

And then they got the impression that I'm strong.

It happened that 1 person on the team quit,

so Ras contacted me via Discord, "Come to MVP~", he invited me.

Apex for me started from MVP.

From that, how did you get into Crazy Raccoon?

After that, MVP team disbanded and we needed a new team.

We were thinking of quitting Apex and starting Valorant, back then when Valorant wasn't out yet.

Before I went on anything for Valorant, I was practicing on playing CS:GO too.

I think it was me, Ras, Cpt, and several others practicing CS:GO.

Then Include chatted from Steam and asked why were we doing,

Why were you not playing Apex? Why were you doing CS:GO?

MVP team's no more, so we were thinking about moving another game.

We'd have tried for a new Apex team if there was any.

But there wasn't any team back then.

Then Include said, "Well, there's a team called Crazy Raccoon. I'll try to ask there."

And then suddenly 10 minutes after we started chatting, we were in a call with Ojiji.
