To mark the one-year milestone, BabbabGaming granted an exclusive interview. In this interview, they reflect on their experiences, discussing the obstacles they faced and their aspirations for the road ahead.
Mikay: “Hello, Can you introduce yourself.”
BabbabGaming: “Ako pala si Jonathan mas kilala na BabbabGaming. naisip ko sya gawing kasi mahilig ako maglaro. hindi lang sa pc or dota,mahilig din ako sa console like playstation. Pero mas active ako sa PC, kasi mostly ng mga friends ko PC nilalaro.
Then ginawa ko yung BabbabGaming na facebook page. Laro-laro lang, may nanonood paunti-unti. One time nag chat si BonTv, talagang di kami magkakilala, as in wala. Tapos ayun nandito na.”
Mikay: “Paano po nabuo yung BabbabGaming?”
BabbabGaming: “Technically fb page yan, ang mindset dyan ng iba pera. Hindi ko naman yun primary na goal, kasi may trabaho naman ako and business naman. Parang gusto ko lang gayahin yung iba na nag-sstream.
First 3 or 4 months ko nag chat si BonTv. Ayun dun na nagstart yung puro tournament. Yung na-vision ko na parang sarili ko lang na maglalaro ako, naging mas malaki na puro tournament na na-sstream sa page ko.”
Mikay: “Sa span ng 1 year. Naaalala nyo pa po ba yung mga events na nagawa nyo?”
BabbabGaming: “Nung una puro BonTv pa lang yung mga tournament. Nung na-merge na kaming dalawa as partner, naging National Dota Community na. Pero pinaka-vision nun kay BonTv talaga. Nung dumating ako, nag-support ako, hanggang eto kung nasan na kami ngayon.”
Mikay: “Any plans po future? Sa page nyo, since part po kayo ng NDC?”
BabbabGaming: “Actually, wala naman kami plano in the long run. Wala kami nilatag, mas prefer namin na pag-naisip lang dun lang. Parang after ng tournament pahinga muna. Then ayun latag ulit ng panibago. Ganun style namin ni BonTv. Effective naman sya. Kasi pag may susundin ka na mahabang plano, tapos di nasunod, parang nakaka disappoint eh. Kaya mas maganda para sa amin yung as is na lang. Kumbaga impromptu. Nagiging consistent lang dun sa mga kung anong season ang ipapa-tournament. Dun na lang kami nagbabased. Binibigyan din namin ng chance yung mga low rank. Kasi para may tournament din sila na pinaglalaruan.”
Mikay: “We have an ongoing tournament sa TheUnionProject. May plan po ba kayo na sumali in the future?”
BabbabGaming: “Actually napag-usapan na namin ni BonTv yan eh. Ang iniisip na lang namin if separate page ba namin or buong NDC na. Baka magpa-tryout din if ever.
Mikay: “Good thing po and interested po kayo sumali sa Server Wars. Excited din po ako na makita yung mga teams nyo.”
Mikay: “Any message po para sa community?”
BabbabGaming: “Sa National Dota Community, lalo kay BonTv. Thank you, kasi kung di ka nagchat noon di ko kayo makikilala as a whole. Kasi sumali ako meron na syang community na nabuo.
Pagsali ko unti-unti kaming lumaki. Nandyan sina boss Emman ng Kai’s Computer Trading. Tapos yung iba sina Shermel yung mga semi-pro na tropa nyo. Salamat sa inyo kasi kung wala kayo, wala kami. Kayo ang bumubuhay ng community, yung mga member. Hindi naman kung sino yung pinuno, yung mga members talaga.
Stay strong tayo NDC!”
Mikay: “Any shoutout po?”
BabbabGaming: “Shoutout sa bestfriend ko sina paul, andrew. arjay. Hindi sila active na kagaya ko pero kasali sila dun.”
