29 Aug Meet the Community – Liam Granlund
- Who are you? (First and Last Name)
- Liam Granlund
- What Organization do you represent? (As it relates to why you’d be getting highlighted in an Esports Newsletter)
-
I represent the University of Wisconsin Madison! I work in their Recreation and Wellbeing department (shortened to Rec Well) as their Intramural Esports Coordinator.
-
- Why do you personally believe esports is important, both to our region and in general?
-
Esports is not only a gateway for teaching communication and teamwork but is also a way for people to create a community. It is important that we continue to invest in gaming as it appeals to such a wide audience and is an opportunity to lower barriers to social experiences for diverse audiences. And of course, above all else, it is pure, unadulterated fun!
-
- What games did you grow up playing and what are you playing the most now?
-
I grew up playing Crash Team Racing and other mascot platformers like Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Spyro the Dragon. I try and play 40 to 50 new games a year if I can! I am currently playing through the Indie darling Citizen Sleeper while continuously playing more competitive games like League of Legends and Fall Guys.
-
- If you could only play one game for the rest of your life, what would it be?
-
League of Legends, mostly because there is so much content there to learn and get good at and I can share my experience with others!
