Pow3rto the century Giorgio CalandrelliFrontman and Content Creator for Fnatic, surprise meets for Netflix students of a Milanese middle school to convey a message of inspiration to them. The meeting took place in front of the Monteverdi school in via Vittoria Colonna.
Pow3r told the boys about his experience, the challenges and emotions experienced during the period of middle school. But above all, he asked the children to share their experiences, to motivate them to face any strong moment experienced during these years and to always believe in themselves and in their dreams.
In junior high they told me that with gaming I wouldn’t go far. Now playing is my job. My relationship with emotions? I am super introverted, I have only opened up in the last few years thanks to my girlfriend, and I started doing it more with my family and with the people who follow me.
Before, I only showed the most aseptic version of me, the one without feelings, but then things changed: from an introvert, I became an extrovert. And in large part it was thanks to streaming, being in contact with people, talking to them, communicating, joking, making jokes, opened me more and more. Now I have become talkative.
The world famous streamer continues:
I did my first serious competitions with a team where I was the youngest. I was a bit of the phenomenon, everyone had this new player on their lips, who came out of nowhere, very young. Nothing was known about me, because I had created a false alter ego, I didn’t want people to know my nickname, I was ashamed.
In the first official tournament game with this team I was immediately placed in the first team. It was disastrous, I played very badly, I was under too much pressure. At the end of the game, the foreman came to me and said ‘Giorgio plays like this one more time and you’re out.’ So my first debut was perhaps my biggest slip and from there I forced myself to control emotions.
To then conclude:
Everyone has their dreams in the drawer, I wanted to play video games. My dream was to live in the world of video games and I started doing it with nothing in hand. Imagine: tears, quarrels with my mother, with my family, with my friends, who were also a bit confused by this thing. But in the end I showed everyone that I could do it. You want for luck, you want for my dedication, for my perseverance and for my sacrifices.
