![]() ![]() Q: You started to play on the Asia server last week-does that mean you’re planning to compete in the Hong Kong Qualifier Tournament for the Hearthstone World Championship? After playing on two different servers, America and Asia, do you feel there are any big differences regarding the meta and strategies you’re seeing?Īmaz: That’s right: the Asia qualifiers require me to have at least a Legend ranking, so it’s time for me to really focus on that to make the deadline for this season. I think it is a good partnership because I share a lot of the same points of view with Liquid as well.įor now, the most important things for us are building our Hearthstone community, recruiting teammates, and joining major tournaments. ![]() Are you currently the only member of the Hearthstone team? What goals do you have for it?Īmaz: Yes, I am the only member of Team Liquid’s Hearthstone division-for now! Even though this team is new, I know that Liquid is a team made of not only skillful players, but players with a lot of sportsmanship and style. In the end, what makes you happy is the most important thing, right? While some family members were initially concerned, they understood that I really enjoyed what I did with Hearthstone. So I did put saxophone teaching on pause, but so far it has paid off! If that’s true, what led you to make that decision? What did your family think about that?Īmaz: With the amount of work required, like responding to messages, editing videos, and streaming, I had to make a hard decision to focus on one thing in my life. Q: We heard that you took a hiatus from your job teaching saxophone so that you could focus all of your efforts on your streaming activities. I would like to think that these qualities are my strong points, and to anyone who wants to start streaming: remember to have a lot of passion for whatever game you intend to play! What made my channel interesting was a combination of my enthusiasm and passion for the game, my choice of class-Priest is quite special-and my interaction with my viewers. Some of his viewers came over to my stream and liked what they saw, and those people became my first 100 or so viewers. Q: You have gathered more than 100,000 followers in a short period of time, which is a remarkable feat! Can you share tips about the ways you manage your Twitch channel?Īmaz: It was pretty crazy that my channel exploded so fast! I was lucky in the sense that I queued up with another famous streamer, Artosis, quite often and beat him in a lot of games. I actually did my first stream January of this year. One day my friend told me that I should stream, and since I was playing anyway, it was just a matter of turning on a program and my webcam. Q: What led you to start streaming on Twitch, and how long have you been at it?Īmaz: I’m a very big fan of gaming, and even before Twitch I would game an average of 4 hours a day. People who watch my videos know that he hits the target I need to kill every time, earning him the title “Sniper Rag.” The cards I mentioned are definitely my favorites, but if I had to choose one it would have to be Ragnaros. Did you write the lyrics yourself? You mention Ragnaros the Firelord, Sylvanas Windrunner, Thoughtsteal, Wild Pyromancer, and Mind Blast in the song-are these your favorite cards? If you had to pick the card you like the most, which one would you pick?Īmaz: Yep! I was just eating one day and I thought of the lyrics to match the Hearthstone theme song. ![]() Q: Recently, you sang the Amaz Theme Song on your live channel. Then I realized that the term is used everywhere-I don’t sell things online!-so I shortened it to Amaz and it has stuck ever since. Does the name Amazon have any special significance to you?Īmaz: When I wanted to make a username for online games, I wanted to merge “Amazing” and “Jason” together, so “Amazon” seemed like an awesome creation. Q: We heard that you originally wanted to use the name Amazon as your ID, but that you eventually shortened it to Amaz. ![]() Our Taiwan Hearthstone Community team interviewed Amaz back in July, and we’ve reproduced it here for your reading pleasure. Tune into the stream Monday, September 1 starting at 10:00 am PDT to catch all the action live! Now Amaz, alongside another prominent Hearthstone player and streamer Realz, will be shoutcasting the North American Collegiate Hearthstone Open 2 Grand Finals at PAX Prime 2014! You might already be familiar with Amaz’s energetic streaming style and clever combo plays. ![]()
