Ocean Sharma talks about his early experiences as a caster for PUBG Mobile AND BGMI tournaments
Upon being asked if he ever wanted to play the game professionally rather than watch exhilarating clutches from the sidelines, Ocean replied that he had previously competed in the PUBG Mobile India Tour 2019 and shared an interesting anecdote. He said:
“Very few people in the community are aware that I competed at the first PMIT back in 2019. The contest was divided into four groups, and I was in group A with my team, WARP. I was supposed to cast the matches from Group C onwards. However, the circumstances were such that one of my teammates, who now represents India in chess, was not allowed to compete further by his family, so we had to withdraw our name. This was also why my casting began a little early.”
Ocean added:
“I really used to feel that I wanted to play like these guys, but then I realized a few things. If I spend 5-6 hours casting, these gamers grind for 8-8 hours. My work is associated with my voice, whilst their job is associated with the game in another way.”
He also talked about career opportunities in the field of esports, stressing that the industry holds vast potential that is not limited to merely playing or commentating, as some youngsters might assume.
