"I love expanding my panorama and participating in new projects. We had to go through a lot of selection filters but in the end we stay. "
Monica is recognized as a pokémon fan. Someone who, even, has adopted the philosophy of mewtwo ("what you do with your gifts is what determines who you are") as part of the daily life of it, without excluding appreciation to the characters of the franchise. That is why be part of this initiative is for her a dream come true, besides that she already expected the arrival of this game to the world of the ESPORTS.
"A MOBA Pokémon for mobile is definitely enjoyable, within reach of many people and making it an esport seems incredibly ated. I am very happy because the ESPORTS industry will grow more with the support of people who enter it, "says the Caster and Content Creator.
"In fact, I think it is being underestimated, since in the first competition that is being done officially, it is developing worldwide with a physical face-to-face that will lead to the best teams to London with an incredibly high prize pool," he adds Avilés, highlighting the analysis that those responsible have made of the industry around electronic sport. "That's something to recognize since that is usually achieved with many years of development."
Eryritra considers that this title, amenus and fun, has allowed him to share moments with her friends at relaxation moments.

"My best advice is to try it, it is better to try to stay with the desire or doubts that it had happened, you never know where life will take you."
Chaining dreams in the world Pokémon
Toon Laguna is one of the most recognized voices in the series of Smash Bros. and its competitive. He actually became, narrating Smash Bros. Ultimate, in the first Mexican participating in Evo. However, he is not alien to Pokémon Unite. The Caster is assiduous to comment on all types of titles and joined the competitive terrain of this adventure from the amateur levels in League ACE ESPORTS, TXK ESPORTS and SMASHBOX. In the Championship series he serves as an analyst.
"I take Pokémon playing since I was small. Pokémon Stadium and Mario Kart 64 were my first games. In fact, I followed everything from the series, from the anime to the mugs. With diamond and pearl I also had my first real practice of speaking in English with other players through the voice chat at the Nintendo DS, "Laguna tells us. "Participating in something like that makes me very excited and as well as at the time working in smash with Nintendo was a dream come true, now working with Pokémon is also."
While many of the players have already expected to have a scene of ESPORTS, for many there was no clarity on the horizon according to Toon. This did not prevent him from getting thrilled by this new circuit, added to the opportunity to play the championship in London along with a good monetary bag as a prize.
"From now on it has a lot of potential, especially because there is already the assurance that there is an event with a serious perspective of ESPORTS," adds the analyst. "Contrary to VGC or the card game, in this game there is not so much luck involved, only good strategy (and secure zap, hehe), so it gives more certainty to the teams."

The team has also reached an important synergy with its members full of talent and hoping to improve date after date. This added to players who are a show to see like Froy, Solstice and Ogalex, who adapt patch after patch to the game conditions in front.
"UNITE, contrary to other mobile games, has an incarnation of console that gives you more freedoms. You can have a very versatile team playing on phone or switch and will have more or less the same experience. Apart from the game does not require an ultra performance. It does not try to be realistic and therefore consumes less resources, "the analyst tells us about the advantages of the title at the time of becoming a competitive experience. And, of course, he also left advice to those who want to do something more serious.
"Apart from this professional league there are many community efforts to make leagues and tournaments where you can try your luck. Maybe full time is not so viable, but it is still something that is worth dedicating time. The creation of content also gives for a lot, it is a matter of seeing what people do such as spraels, indiebe, mutane, Kishtar, Olihouse, etc. Find your niche and grow, "Toon ends.
At the end of April, this competitive circuit is expected to have a new monthly end. This, of course, in parallel to the Community and Amateur leagues that are developing throughout Latin America. The reward is great, yes. However, the road is long and the opportunities must be taken advantage of. Not only as players, but also as part of those who have decided to give voice to the items that will define the best in each region.
