Our Interview With More Esports Valorant Player SHNAZNNNN

We have made an interview with More Esports player Ege “SHNAZNNNN” Tarhan, who entered the VALORANT scene on March 27. In the interview, we talked about his personal career and the state of the More Esports’ Valorant team.

First of all, thank you very much for accepting to do this interview with us. Can you tell us a little bit about your background? Who is SHNAZNNNN?

Hi, my name is Ege “SHNAZNNN” Tarhan. I was born in Istanbul in 1997. I graduated from Izmir American High School and I am currently studying Law in Istanbul.

Can you talk about your interest in FPS games, which game did you start with first?

As did many others, I also started playing FPS games with Counter Strike 1.6.

We learned that you played professionally in Zula before. How was the transition from Zula to VALORANT? Can you tell us about this process?

After playing ZULA for 6 seasons, Valorant made a big breakthrough. I decided to switch to Valorant with my friends.

While switching to VALORANT, did you had a professional career in mind?

We had a professional career in mind.

What is VALORANT’s role in your life? You’re studying at the same time, can you talk a little bit about how your usual day goes? What is your advice to those who want to become a professional player?

Valorant covers most of my daily life. I am in the game for at least 8 hours a day. Apart from that, I continue my normal life and school. My only advice to those who want to play professionally is to be steady and hardworking.

What does your family think about you being a professional player? Most players in the past had a lot of difficulty due to this situation. How did this process go for you?

I am lucky in this regard. I told my family about the esports industry and its premise. They have always supported me and continue to do so. I had no problem.

Senior Surprisee, EXTREMEE and you have been together since the cast of “PffxD”. What kind of a bond do you guys have?

I have known EXTREMEE since our Point Blank days, our friendship goes back many years. I met Surprise in Zula and we got to know each other rather quickly. Our relationships have two aspects, we are both friends and colleagues. We are managing professional life and friendship together.

Can you tell us about the transition process to More Esports? Who reached you, did you have a manager?

Faruk Can “Maxic” reached us. He was my former teammate, whom we have known and loved for many years. He offered us an offer and we accepted it.

How do you work as a team, do you have a coach that guides you? What are your thoughts on coach mode?

Our team is currently in the structuring phase, we are currently trying two new players. There is Maxic, he is both a manager and a coach who guides us and helps us. We are eagerly waiting for the Coach mode.

Can you tell us about your goals, both personally and as More Esports?

My personal goal has always been to be a champion. I believe my team thinks so too. Our main goal at the moment is to establish our squad and become a strong team.

FOIZ recently left the team. What would you like to say about that?

I’m sorry for Foiz’s departure. As far as I have known him, he was both a good player and a hard worker. I hope he finds the best outcome for himself. Although I can’t say a name, I want our teammate to be a hardworking person like us, who can contribute to the team.

You won the Challengers 1 ticket by defeating Rare Esports in the Challengers 1 Open Qualifier, but you were eliminated by losing to Rare Esports in the Challengers 2 Open Open Qualifier. What did go wrong the 2nd time?

Both series extended to the third map. In both of them we were very close. As I said earlier, we haven’t structured our squad properly yet. I have no doubt that we will be better when our team gets into proper shape.

What would you like to say about Futbolist, Oxygen and BBL / Anatolia who will take part in EMEA Stage 2 Challengers Finals? How do you see the chances of our home teams?

All three teams that qualified to go there have experienced and good players. I hope they represent us well and be successful.

Thank you again for taking the time for this interview.

Thank you, I hope that you will see us soon again.
