Q. There have been ongoing debates in the Reddit FUT communities regarding position shifts and how the consumables work in a FIFA 21 game, where you can shift highly attacking players like Mbappe or Ronaldo into a CDM or CB role. If you have enough consumables, you can play them with 100% chemistry, which is very unrealistic compared to real-world football. Meanwhile, if an RB or LB is played as a CB or a Wing Back, you get a hit in team chemistry, which is not logical. What’s your take on this?
Jenasid: That’s how FUT has evolved over the years, and as a professional player, all you can do is adapt. There will always be glitches in the game, but you’ve got to make sure you know what the meta is, like the RB or LB players being forced to play at CB because of through balls.
Squad building is also an important factor, but you need to make sure you do everything you need to win a game of FIFA.
Q. Who is that one footballer whom you don’t like missing out on in your FUT squad while playing a competitive game and which football player is your all-time favorite?
Jenasid: Patrick Vieira, an icon in the game, is someone I always choose in my FUT squad, and his former teammate Thierry Henry is my favorite football player of all time.
Q. We all know that grinding on one game for days can get tiring and monotonous. Tell us what else you do when you’re not in the mood for FIFA? Have you tried other games like Valorant or COD?
Jenasid: FIFA can get highly draining at times, so I spend a lot of hours playing COD with my mates, and I love watching competitive COD too. When I’m not playing, I usually like to take care of my physical health and spend a lot of time at the gym.
Q. You have recently started streaming on Twitch. What is your take on full-time streaming, and can we expect a similar stint from you in the future?
Jenasid: A hundred percent. Content creation has transformed the esports industry, and that’s where most of its revenue comes from. When I retire as a professional FIFA player, I would like to start my organization and get into content creation full time.
Q. India is still in a state of infancy, considering the country’s developing esports infrastructure. Many aspiring Indian FIFA players go through the usual problems and drop their dreams for something more “secure.” What is your take on a career in gaming in India, and what changes can be made to make it more mainstream?
Jenasid: I would say follow your dreams. If you aspire to be a professional esports athlete, you need to make sure you put in the hours. It’s not an overnight process.
Make sure you’re still carrying on with your education simultaneously because that is extremely important. India is evolving, and esports will be the next big thing in our country. If I can do it, then you can do it too!
