<p>As a journalist for the MX, I dont usually offer any exclusivity over B1G League promotion though do enjoy the freedom of promoting the greater good of eSports to the country, especiallyA B1G League & friends.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Though one thing i find very enjoyable is seeing other journalists having a crack at the games industry, Ive seen alot of terrible articles over my time, pigeon holing gamers and truth be told, one of the main reasons I moved into media was to help stop the stereotype of gaming.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This week we helped out on the Monash Gamers bootcamp, Myself and Camstar were the events opening speakers encouraging over 300 highschool students to peruse a path into video games, build an empire and love the lifestyle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We were promptly interviewed by a Journalist from The AGE and here was the result. As usual, not perfect, though seriously props to the Journalist 'Miki Perkins' for actually portraying the other side of gaming.. The positive side.</p>
