Skylar “Virtuosa” Hew's Exclusive Interview
Support player Skylar “Virtuosa” Hew spoke with Sheep Esports about her path from the American west coast to Paris, overcoming idols, and the personal significance of the LGC scene.
“I'm feeling pretty good. When I started playing, I didn’t think I’d end up in Paris. I thought everyone had already found their teams, so I probably wouldn’t be able to join anyone for open qualifiers. With the residency limitations for EEC, I couldn’t play either, so even the teams I talked to didn’t really work out.
I remember trying out for Nexus Reapers, who later became Blue Otter. Their manager, Atreides (Paul Quinn), was really nice—he gave me a lot of opportunities and was the first person to kind of start me on this path.
I was pretty disappointed back then, but I got really lucky finding Eterna and all my amazing teammates. All four of them are just incredible, and I’m really lucky and thankful to have them.”
