The bald buff caster 'Paperthin' - Hot Drop EP 8

In this episode of the Hot Drop I sat down with Paperthin, a top tier PUBG and Valorant caster, and one of the OG's of the scene.

He told us his origin story, how he went from a bachelors in physics to moving to korea to shout at video games.

We talked a lot about PGS1, both from a casting and a coaching perspective. What the upsets and suprises were, and how stressful LANs can be for everyone involved.

We discussed the chances of a PUBG event in Europe this year, and I asked him how working Valorant compares to PUBG, how he balances the two, and why that isn't always easy.

Overall a super fun and insightful chat about Casting, PGS1 and PUBG in general, hope you enjoy.
