Manfred Hanusek: As a newcomer to the world's largest Etentennis tournament - KICKE

In professional esport as in sport the rule applies: exercise makes the master. Only with hard work and lots of diligence, succeeds in. Especially if you want to come under the top ridge of the sport. In the case of Manfred Hanusek one speaks rather from the fast way to the breakthrough. The German representative at the Roland-Garros Etennis tournament benefited from the fact that the ESPORT scene in the virtual tennis is still in its infancy.

"Until shortly before the event, I have never played tennis on the console," reveals Hanusek. "As a huge tennis fan, I thought I can join me." Creating the qualification directly came for himself surprising. That he even reached the controller instead of the racket was "more a coincidence." However, the long-term tennis player was not alone in the final round as an eSport-Newbie, which was held in Paris in May. "Some of the other counterparties similar like I just started the game for the event."

One of the reasons why Etenis is still not so established as FIFA, the poor implementation is on the virtual place. Tennis World Tour 2 does not make the sport enacted enough.

"The game has, and there we agreed every eight players on the spot, still big problems as far as balaning and bugs are concerned," Hanusek describes the impressions of the final participants. The simulation unfortunately has really little together with real tennis. The ESPORT is through monotonous ball change, in which only Timing decisions, "also to watch very boring." Unfortunately, the entire event suffered from it. In the run-up to a great career promotion for Etennis announced, the Grand Final turned out to be a promotional event as an ESPORT event. "The tournament itself, at least it looked at us player, was not taken enough. It was not really about the winner or the fight between us."

During the final area, the moderators were completely the focus of the game and instead "talked about a tennis movie and with guests over very different topics." Enthusiasm and junior promotion is different. Hanusek still had fun at the final round. "The event was a mega great experience, but not because of the game, but because of the other players."

In the future tournaments, he wanted to participate in spite of all this. The ESPORT newcomers has hopes that Etentennis will be more professional in the future. Focus should be placed on the tournament on coming events. "Then Egennis could also have a possibility to get a handsome competitive area. If something is done at the game itself."
