Hello guys, r3venger here
And today I'm making something different than my recent videos
An interview with Plz Enjoy Game
One of the best players in osu! and high-star maps king
Hello there!
Okay, so how are you feeling today?
Feeling good, just played for a while
Feeling a bit tired now, though
Oh, okay, so I'll try not to make you feel more tired by my questions
I hope they are pretty easy to answer
Okay.
Okay, so the first one.
A pretty general one, about yourself
What are you interested in besides osu?
I guess... I don't really play other games, so...
I usually just spend my time either watching
other streamers, like for example tyler1,
Well, no one likes him in osu anymore
in the community
But I like just other streamers in general, not really...
No, really no one in specific
And some anime.
Oh, okay, so it's actually pretty usual, right? for an osu player to watch anime
Which one is your favorite series?
I don't think I can pick a favorite series.
It's always what's hot right now that I care about.
I mean, if you watch a lot of animes, I don't think you can ever pick one, favorite one out of...
like all of the hundreds you watched.
Okay, but can you pick like your favorite category?
Like maybe romance or action?
It would probably be action.
So, like, mostly shounen ones?
Yeah, I like JoJo.
Pretty popular series.
Do you listen to any music?
Yeah, I listen to a lot of music whenever I'm free.
But which are your favorite bands or genres?
The one that created haitai, man
I listen to them everyday.
So, now the question that just can't be not asked in any interview with osu! player.
How and when have you started playing?
I think I started at around very late 2015, or something like that.
Yeah, and it was because my friend introduced it to me
That's why I started playing it and it's been about two or three years since I started.
Well, that's not a lot of time, because
Some players like Cookiezi or WubWoofWolf -
They've been playing for extremely long time, like
7, 8 years, maybe even more...
So, your progress is extremely fast.
Why have you progressed so fast, what do you think is a secret?
Honestly, I think it's just... "Enjoy the game"
You can't like really progress or anything if you hate it to the core.
So if you just...
think of what kind of player you want to be, you aspire to be,
and just fix your eyes on those goals, then walk towards those goals...
I think it's just a step by step process, never rush it.
But never give yourself a break as well.
Something like that.
Oh, okay.
Do you plan on ever getting back to being a regular “ranked” maps player and playing mostly just to get pp?
- I don't think so.
That's an interesting question, because...
I've gotten so used to unranked maps
I'm pretty sure 80% of my maps right now is just unranked.
So I just play what I see it fit, I don't really care if it's ranked or not.
I don't consciously keep up and say: "I don't wanna farm this" or whatever, I just
play whatever I see it fit, whether it's ranked or not.
And it always ends up on being unranked.
That's the reason.
Oh, so this is a pretty good attitude, I think.
Do you describe yourself rather as an HR or DT player?
I strongly insist, that I'm neither of them.
I don't consider myself a full HardRock or full DT player.
I consider mods is just game modifiers and...
and I think I should play all three as in like nomod, HR and DT.
I just treat them as modifiers
And I don't really consider myself any type of player.
Oh, okay. And I think that next questions is quite related to this.
On your osu! userpage you wrote that everyone has his specific skillset. what skillset do you think you have?
Probably jumps...
So, aim?
Pretty much, but aim is very very subjective, because it's
basically moving your eyes and using
your cursor to keep up with it and it's
very... it depends a lot on your everything
from the way you view the game
to the point how your grip works
Everything will affect how you play
that's what i mean by
playstyles, everyone has their own playstyles,
Which leads to their own skillsets
No one is ever a duplicate of another person.
They're all very unique... we're all very unique individuals,
we all set our own plays and we're not a carbon
copy of each other, that's what I think.
Yeah, really wise words, by the way
talking about play styles, I can
recommend you my friend's channel called
"circles!", where you can see different playstyles
of a lot of players, it's pretty good actually.
What an advertisement, wow
Wow, that's a very interesting channel, I'll be sure to check it out, man.
Is there anything you would change, fix or improve in osu! game itself?
Hmm, I personally think I would change the pp system, but
not in the way everyone expects me to say.
I would say: give the option to cover up
in display options to cover
up your rank, just rid of that.
Personally I think that the people who
want to farm can farm and people who
don't want to farm, well, they can have the
choice now to not look at the rank,
because I think that PP while being very
inaccurate in my opinion
as a representation of skill, I think it's
pretty inaccurate, but personally I think
it's also motivating to see that number
rise, especially for new players and
as they see that number rise, it gives
them meaning to continue playing the game
and when they get to a certain level,
then they can decide how they want to
branch out as a player, but that starting
point is always the hardest to get motivation, because it's just circles
You have to find your own meaning in the game, I think
So covering up the rank is
probably a good solution.
Yeah, and sometimes PP even leads to addictions
Oh yeah, that's definitely.
Yeah, there are some extra extreme cases like that, but
that's an interesting suggestion, like I
have never heard actually anyone
would have such a request, but that's
really interesting, I think I would also
like to see such a feature.
Which other top players do you admire the most, like...
who is your favorite one?
Cookiezi, basically top 5, Rafis,
Vaxei, everyone, so I think that
goes to show like... those are like the for
sure I would pick top players, but I
want to mention players that really
motivated me when I was starting off.
So people like Kynan, he was extremely big part of me when I was starting off.
Really, he was basically my senpai at that point
when I was 15k and I was looking at this guy playing 10.3 AR
and I was like: holy shit. And he yelling PUTAIN every 30 seconds.
There's a lot of players... I respect
all players but these... Rafis and Kynan
are probably the the two players that have
the biggest influence to me ever, because
of how they were with me as I progressed.
More like... there were some... they
were two people who I look up to
and really just feel motivated to
continue playing, because I aspire to
reach even just near that level right now,
That would be just like
a dream for me back then.
So, definitely those two are player in their own class, players in their own class.
Yeah, nice.
Have you ever had a moment when you wanted to quit the game?
quit w
Yeah, there is a point when I was PP
farming and I was climbing pretty
quickly, but still only caught on to me
that I was very stressful and everything
was a suffering, as in like my eyesight I was
suffering, my grades were already
suffering and I felt like although I
love the game from the bottom of my
heart, but I thought that there are
better things, they're more important
things to do in my life and as you can
see, I did not choose these important things.
I chose circles.
That's all we do, choose circles instead of real life.
Who needs friends, man?
Which category of maps is your favorite? Like, technical, jump, stream maps?
I would pick straightforward jumps, like I
like fullscreen jumps and I like to
push myself on fullscreen jumps, so yeah,
those are definitely my favorite
types of maps.
Yeah, we can see it on your channel that you have like...
five videos a day: fullscreen jumps godmode
Do you often get stressed while doing a good score?
Oh boy
Always, man, every good score. I have like... let me check real quick...
Sixteen, I have sixteen 8-star 1xmiss chokes.
On all different maps.
Wow, you count it?
Yeah, I'm counting, man.
Road to 100 soon.
So, that goes to show I am very stressed
when I get a good... when I'm coming to an FC
on a good score and, well it, ends up in
my choke folder.
Yeah, I know that feel. Everyone does... most of us does
like I think not being stressed is kinda inhuman.
Yeah, it's just how you manage that stress, man.
Can you agree with a statement that osu! plays an important part in your life?
Definitely I think, definitely
because considering how I spend almost
all my time in osu!, I don't think I
can't say it's not part of my life, it is part of my life,
it is the biggest thing I have ever
done in my life so far, so I definitely...
If one day osu! just disappear, I will
just be left with nothing to do with my life.
So, yeah, it's a big part of my life.
As I can see, you are a religious person. You often openly speak about your faith, which is a really brave move in my opinion. What have you learned in Bible about competition, wins, loses? Cause these are things we need to deal with while playing osu! every day.
That's an interesting question.
I strongly believe that God wants people
to reign, God wants his people to reign and
prayer is an expression of grace, so when
the most humble thing you can do is to
say that: I'm nothing and I cannot but
God can, so in fact if you are
entrusting everything to Him,
you're saying he's everything and you're
basically... you're just human, you're
nothing and when God opens doors, no
one can shut it, no man can shut it and
when God closes doors, no man can open it.
I believe that when you set
your eyes on Jesus, you can do anything
just as how Peter set his eyes on Jesus and
he could walk on water, so if you fix
your eyes on him, we definitely can do
anything and I also believe that fits
the facts of this world, everything
will come to an end that is...
that is for sure, even facts of this
world will come to an end, like, for example
the fact that the Sun gives light and peak to the Earth,
Will also one day, that fact will...well, it'll end as well.
But I believe, that His choose will outlast even facts of this world.
When everything ends, this world will remain.
And, like... a lot of people have been...
It's a lot of controversy about this topic, because a
lot of people think that just because I
strongly believe in my religion, it means
I disrespect every other religion.
No I don't, I respect everyone and I treat
them all as people, as individual people
that are nice, I don't... I don't shit
on people just because I have a
religion, but I strongly believe that
this is where I stand and I will not
back down because of... well,
people flaming me and and this is I know where I stand in this.
As I said before,
expressing your faith so openly is really
brave of you, you have really interesting thoughts.
Any tips for players aspiring to play as well as you do?
Whenever someone says they aspire to play as well as I do,
I think of is as... my first answer in my
mind is: don't, because you don't want to
be a carbon copy of me, because that...
you're not me, you see, you're
your own player, you are special, so don't
don't look at me as this perfect player or whatever.
Find your own thing and to
pursue your own aspects, it is very good
to be motivated by other people, I look
at the player plays all the time and
I'm motivated by every single one of these players.
But it all comes down to what, like how do I say it...
What you want to be and what you are, because
you shouldn't just pursue this top player, because: he's like that,
so I'll be like that. No, I personally think you
should find your own aspect, find what
you find fun and whoever talks shit
about you in the sense where they say in
this aspect doesn't matter, whatever...
Just ignore them and go your own path,
because you don't own anyone anything when you play, it's more like...
pursue your own aspect,
find yourself, don't be a carbon copy of
someone else. You're not a robot, you're a human being.
Yeah, you're exatly right
A lot of beginner players, I think they try
to copy for example settings, like
tablet area or grips of some top
players, but it often doesn't go well
with them and, well, this is not really a
good thing, so you're one hundred percent right.
I wouldn't say 100, it's just my opinion.
mhmm (roasted smh? :^)
Which one do you think is the best score you've done so far?
Oh God, another hard question, oh God, oh man, I don't know
Seriously? Well you have a lot of these, soo...
I can't decide, man... oh no...
I read that you have like four 8-star FCs, so maybe choose one of them?
Nah, those are... I don't look at my FCs as anything special, I prefer...
I prefer extreme plays.
Maybe... I'm not too sure, but
but maybe my Tengaku one.
It was mapped by someone, I don't remember who it was mapped by,
but it was 9.81 stars, yeah,
maybe that play, I think.
Oh yeah, seems pretty impressive.
Yeah, I got an A rank and I was really shocked that I even passed it,
so that one's probably one of my
favorite plays so far.
Do you have any goals you want to achieve in osu?
Many goals, improving myself is always a
goal and how I judge how far I have to
go is by other top players, like for
example if I want to think about aim,
I would think about Cookiezi and every single score he's done.
I totally aspire to be pretty much as good as him, but
of course there'll be scores that will
be different as an in the sense, where...
stuff that he can do and I can do, and stuff that
I can't completely even start read and he can do them.
Just like this.
It all comes down to: we are our own players, but I look
up to him as a... kinda like a goal to look forward to.
Yeah, so you get motivated by him?
Yeah, definitely
Maybe you should like... put a poster with his face on
your wall or something
That's too far, man, that's too far
I don't think he would appreciate that either
Some of osu! players like... make their own Cookiezi shrines and pray every day.
Haha, oh God
Okay, so we are coming to the last question
What do your friends or family think about you being one of the best osu! players? Do they even know about you playing circles?
My friends are very very supportive, they watch my streams,
they compliment me and they're really
supportive overall and i'm very grateful
for every single... for every friend that I know.
And for my parents... my dad
doesn't really like it, but he has to deal with it.
My mom is okay with it as long as it doesn't affect my studies,
but it is, so...
My mother says like... osu! is like putting beans on the table?
I don't know what does she even mean, but...
Well, she apparently doesn't really like it.
Okay, so thank you for letting me interview you,
I think this interview was really interesting and a lot of people can know you better.
So, thanks again!
And thank you for the opportunity!
