“It’s not like we’re going around knocking on doors,” he joked. Reynolds. “They just started reaching out to us, and we said, ‘Absolutely, this is amazing.’ Look, I’m really tall, I’m 6’1”, I’ve never played sports, I’ve always done music and theater, so people probably think that I’m not a gamer, but it’s my livelihood.
“League Of Legends It definitely seemed like something very challenging to me,” said the guitarist Wayne Sermon to the NME. “You’re playing against other people, but it’s not like Call Of Dutywhere some 12 year old kid with a sniper rifle is going to dominate you all the time — there’s strategic thinking and macro strategy, the most mechanically skilled team isn’t always the one that’s going to win, which is good, since I have 37 years old and my reflexes are no longer the same.”
