The ‘night_watch’ Interview: Bulgaria\u2019s FIFA eSports Legend<\/h1>\n

Ivan ”night_watch” Churov talks to LWOF and Hristo Andreev about his FIFA accomplishments and everyday life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1) First of all congratulations on signing with Manchester City and Epsilon_eSports! I guess that the last few weeks have been very emotional and stressful. Where are you now and how are you feeling?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Thanks! The last weeks really were emotional, but mostly very exciting. I\u2019m currently in Bucharest where I\u2019m pursuing one of my master’s degrees. I\u2019m feeling very well, but I also know that the following weeks will be even tougher and busier.<\/p>\n

2) So, education is a priority of yours. What and where are you studying exactly?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As I said I\u2019m doing two master\u2019s degrees. \u00a0The first one is Computer Science in Bucharest and the other one is European Diplomacy in Sofia.<\/p>\n

3) What is your daily regime and how many hours a day do you spend playing FIFA?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I don\u2019t have a strict regime, to be honest. Practising FIFA depends on whether I have lectures or a tournament coming soon.<\/p>\n

4) You have a rather strange FIFA Ultimate Team – Cristiano Ronaldo as a central midfielder and De Marcos as your right back. Why have you chosen such a strategy and can you give us another example of a good, cheap player like De Marcos?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I play Ronaldo as a midfielder just for chemistry, FUT players should know what I mean.
\nTo be honest, I’m not aware of players’ prices this year as I started with top players very early on.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

5) Which console do you prefer to play on – PS4 or XBOX?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I prefer the XBOX because this is where I started on a competitive\u00a0level. Anyways, I play on both and I don\u2019t think that there\u2019s a rather big difference.<\/p>\n

6) So what are your hobbies outside of the monitor?
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My passion outside of FIFA is shockingly playing football.<\/p>\n

7) Do you have a favourite song on FIFA 19 or in the game overall?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I haven’t listened to songs on FIFA for three years. The last song I remember is ‘Mercy’ on FIFA 2007 if I’m not mistaken.<\/p>\n

8) And finally, what are some tips you can give to other FIFA players?
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Don’t take the game too seriously. Play calmly and don’t get angry. There will always be mistakes – for you as well as for your opponent, so chill and don’t let it get to you!<\/p>\n
