Q. Despite being widely regarded as one of India's finest FIFA eSports athletes, you did not participate in the inaugural season of the eISL. What influenced you to change your decision for the second season, and how has your experience been so far?
CJ: I didn’t participate in the first season of the eISL mainly because of the four-month bio bubble, which would have prohibited me from playing in the eNations and the TOTS cup. I made it to the LAN stages in Denmark and London, respectively, in both of these tournaments. As there is no bio bubble this year, I can easily participate in it without compromising with other tournaments.
Q. We are approaching the business end of the eISL season, and Bengaluru FC has already secured qualification for the playoffs. What has been your favorite memory/performance so far this season?
