Check-Six Interviews 'MaximusBlack'
Author: Jayp
01/15/2012

Hello everyone I'm here with MaximusBlack, and although I highly doubt it is necessary, please introduce yourself to those who may not know you!

Hey guys! I'm MaximusBlack from LifesAGlitchTV and that cheese fail show "When Cheese Fails."

Welcome to Check-Six! We're very excited to have you on the team. Tell us a little about your history, what did you do before Check-Six?

Well, my casting partner NovaWar and I started up LifesAGlitchTV (LAGTV) about a year ago. We realized that there weren't any popular Starcraft channels that really catered to the low-level players. When I say low-level I'm talking Bronze - Platinum. So on our channel for the most part, we have only casted games of the fans or low-level games since day one, giving the everyday players the spotlight for once. We use comedy in our casts as a way to make the game fun again. A lot of players lost the fun in SC2, so we wanted people to re-install their games and get back on the ladder.

Then I started my own solo channel where I have a series called Quest To Grand Masters. Just 4 short months ago it was Quest To Diamond, where the fans could watch me ladder first hand and be there every step of the way. I never thought in a million years I would now be part of such a kick-ass team.

What are your expectations for Check-Six, and where would you like to see yourself in three months?

My goal is to always remain a voice for the average player. So I would like to be able to hold Check-Six events for fans, where lower-level players can be part of a King of the Hill or some sort of tournament with some great prizes. I would also like to be able to cast team matches. As for myself, I would like to be able to hit top 8 masters in the next 3 months. There are already a number of top teammates that want to help me get to GM now. I'm really excited!

What events would you like to attend with Check-Six over the course of this year?

I was at MLG Providence a few months back and had a blast. So I think getting to another MLG this year would be great.

How did you get into Starcraft, when did you first start playing it?

I started playing Starcraft when I was 14 years old. My cousin got me into the game by renting it for the N64, he then told me the game was also on the PC. I went and picked up the battle chest. I can't count the number of times my parents grounded me from the game for skipping school to play it. Dad used to hide the Starcraft disk so that I would go out and play in the summer like the rest of the kids. When I told him I cast and play Starcraft for a living he laughs.

Any final comments?

I want to thank the Check-Six managing team, the sponsors; TteSports, Puretrak, GamersUniforms, End Of Reality, Pure Voice, and Isgodly Hosting. Also to all the players for making me feel welcome and believing in what I do. I also can't forget all the bouses and bousettes that watch my streams and youtube channels every day. Without you guys I wouldn't be where I am at today. Thanks for your time John and the next time we chat, it will be about my GSL win lmao!

.....no seriously it will be my GSL win.

How bouse is it to be on a bouse team with bouse players?

Pretty bouse.
