Moe recently sat down with Valorant Arabia for an in-depth interview, shedding light on his unconventional career path and the dynamics of managing a Valorant team. With roots tracing back to the early days of competitive gaming in CS 1.6, his journey is as unique as it is inspiring.
Moe story begins in 2006 when he immersed himself in the world of Counter-Strike 1.6, eventually transitioning through CS:GO. Even during his high school days, he was deeply engaged in competitive gaming, honing his skills and fostering a passion for esports.
However, his journey took an unexpected turn when he enrolled in medical school in 2010 at Ain Shams University. Despite the demands of his medical studies, his passion for gaming remained undiminished. Upon graduating from medical school, he found himself at a crossroads, torn between pursuing a career in medicine or delving deeper into the realm of esports.
In 2020, the allure of Valorant’s beta drew him in, and he made the pivotal decision to transition from player to coach. Leveraging his experience and expertise garnered from years of competitive gaming, he embarked on a new chapter in his esports journey.
One of the key insights shared during the interview was the meticulous process of player scouting. Moe emphasized the importance of scouting talent from various tournaments, leveraging every opportunity to identify promising players who could enhance the team’s roster.
The significance of a gaming house in fostering team cohesion was also highlighted. By providing a dedicated space for the team to train and live together, bonds are formed faster, contributing to a more cohesive unit on and off the battlefield.
A typical day in the life of Team RA’AD’s Valorant manager involves long hours and strategic decision-making. From 12 PM to 8 PM, with a small break in between, he oversees all aspects of the team’s operations, from player rotations to coaching responsibilities.
