How a Battleworn Controller God Started Sh*tting On Kids in Apex Legends

When you look back across esports history, it’s actually incredible to think about how far we’ve come. We’ve gone from duking it out side-by-side in packed, sweaty arcades, to beating the crap out of each other at equally stinky convention centres. We’ve risen from the niche, primordial grime of glorified LAN parties, to behold sold-out arenas losing their minds at jumping no scopes. Of course, for us it’s easy to take it all for granted because this is the new normal. But for the early pioneers of competitive gaming, it must be tough to look at esports today and see the spoils of their labor being enjoyed by a new generation of fans, who may not even know who they are. Now fortunately, a lot of these trailblazers have been able to stay connected to esports by getting into some form of coaching, commentating or adjacent business ventures. But there are a select few who have been able to keep their legacies alive by continuing to compete at the highest level. And in the case Halo legend and Apex pro Eric “snip3down” Wrona, one of the greatest console FPS players to ever live, it’s not about just participating for pride. He’s not interested in passing the torch on to the next generation, no, he wants to light them on fire with it.
