We got to talk him in Aragon right before his race on Friday 20<sup>th<\/sup> in order to know more about him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When did you start playing videogames?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I started playing videogames when I was in grade 4 or 5 but I have never been heavily on videogames, I just played for fun occasionally. First time I realized about my potential was when I played WRC 8.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you make it to the E-Sports series?<br \/>\n<\/strong>When I bought the MotoGP game I had that feeling that I wanted to play it but I had no idea of what was going on with the E-Sports championship or anything and then in the loading screen I saw \u201cE-Sports\u201d, I clicked on it, and I registered. By the time it was in the third challenge that is four days, one ride, one track and the two fastest in each session go to pro draft. In that challenge I got P3. A week later it was challenge 4 in Motegi on wet conditions that was, by the way, the first ever wet track in the game. I was P2 there and I made it into pro draft. At that time I didn\u2019t worry about online challenge 5 or 6, I just focused in Thailand. I called work and said I was sick for 3 days in order to keep playing and improving as I knew I could improve a couple of tenths here and there. On day 4 of the challenge I was on the Top of the classification and it was 2a.m. when I knew I was in the E-Sports series, I was in the pub trying to release some stress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long did I get since you bought the game until you knew you where in?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Less than three months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many players did you have to fight against?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I don\u2019t really know but I checked once and I was facing over 300 participants over the globe. In a pro draft we where 12 of us in PS4, 12 of us on X-Box and 12 of us on PC and the 2 best from each would go forward in the competition. Those guys were really fast and I had to keep playing, improving and practicing in my bedroom without seeing day light.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has the first two races been?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I was 12<sup>th<\/sup> in first race in Mugello circuit and 11<sup>th<\/sup> in the second one. I\u2019m here to get good results \u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00adbut at the same time I\u2019m really looking forward to have fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many days where between you knew you where in and the day you race in Misano.<br \/>\n<\/strong>I believe less than 2 weeks. I had to ask for holidays at work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does it feel?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Unreal. I mean thinking that a videogame can make you pack your bags and travel the globe to be in a paddock which is something I always dreamed. I still can believe it, when I qualified I even cried, I feel over the moon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does your family think about it?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I think they cannot imagine how the videogame industry has grown in the recent years. They didn\u2019t understand how I was making those overseas, who was taking me over and all about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Telep is the 23 year old, he comes from Australia and he&#8217;s Reale Avintia Racing Team&#8217;s player in the MotoGP 2019 E-Sport competition.
