Trashy steps up for Enemy eSports
Coming off their win against Team Dragon Knights, Enemy eSports' (NME) jungler Jonas "Trashy" Andersen breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"After that win I was actually really, really happy," he says with a smile. "We've kept losing every week and it's really hard to keep losing. Especially for your morale and how you look at yourself as well, you get disappointed in yourself. So even though it's just one win, it actually meant a lot to me."
What's more, is that Trashy was pleased with his commanding performance on Rek'Sai. Going 7/2/16 on the Void Burrower, the rookie stepped up and led his team to victory through his decisive shotcalling, which is something he's been working on in his debut NA LCS season. "Sometimes it's hard because we do mixed stuff and there's a lot of emotion on stage and you get over hyped," he says. "That's why we maybe have been struggling a bit. Sometimes, we just need to calm down and take it slow, and just get the win."
For Trashy, learning to keep his cool while shot calling on the NA LCS stage has been a big change from playing in the comfort of his home during the NA Challenger Series. "There are a lot of factors here in the crowd that will make you more hyped or let your emotions come through and affect your decisions."

He also mentions how, as the team's shot caller, it's been important for him to learn to keep his emotions under control every time he goes on stage in order to make the best decisions. "I think that's what a lot of the games come down to. If you're decisive in what you want to do, and you lead your team in doing something decisive, then most of the time it will pay off in a good way."
"That's mostly what I'm focusing on," he continues. "And in general, keeping up a good spirit on the team on stage...even if someone is doing something bad, you make sure they're looking forward and not back at a mistake."
Trashy's taking his own advice and looking ahead towards the tough matches NME will face in the upcoming week against Gravity and Team SoloMid. "Both are really hard, but honestly we can beat both teams if we play to our best and we just have a really good game plan."
