Hey guys,

Here is a massive update thread, keeping your updated in the latest and greatest of our bacon master - Jared "TtPiG" Krensel.

As most of you will be aware, being a pro gamer isn't just all about grinding out ladder games and 6 pooling for lols. There is much more that needs to be done.. Anything from managing finances, to building public profile, to keeping up sponsor relations.

So what has PiG been up to lately?

Melbourne Trip

We (Tt eSPORTS) flew PiG into Melbourne for numerous reasons: SC2 Player meetup, Respawn LAN comp, Photo/Video Shoot, Meeting with Resellers and getting to know him better.

Gym!

On the first day when he arrived, I took PiG out the the gym. He has been more and more interested in my workout routine (Crossfit), so I decided to show him a few things that he can implement in his workouts to stay in shape and keep his mind sharp.

I ended up getting us to do a very simple, yes very taxing workout of 12-15-9 reps of, Thrusters (2x 8kg dumb bell for him) and push-ups. PiG managed a time of 7 minutes flat, which was the same as mine @10kg dumb bells.


Thrusters!

SC2 Player meetup!
On Sunday (after Respawn) we met up with some total ballers of the SC2 community: KiaRAWR (my mrs), MiLes, xPaperclip and InFeZa.
We went out for some tasty Korean BBQ (with Hite) beer and then fried chicken after!

Respawn
This was a good event, although the internet was delayed and had a couple of issues.. The admins sorted it all out with a level head and got it working perfectly in the end!
TtPiG took 1st place and also lost a game (that wasn't cheese) to Kez in the Swiss bracket.
1st - PiG, 2nd - RuineD, 3rd - Eddie, 4th - Slowhands, 5th - Kez

Photo Shoot
Will post an official thread of this later, here are two good pics that I took behind the scenes.






Visiting Resellers!

Another part of a Pro-Gamers job. Visiting the stores that sell your sponsors product, talking to them about the gear, what makes it good, what isn't so good and who the gear should be purchased by.
Turns out PiG is good with people too!


Scorptec Computers - Rowville


Centercom - Hawthorn


PC DIY - Box hill

I hope this provides a little more insight into PiG's life as a pro gamer and also the kind of stuff he does!
