From Home to the Studio - Sternab

We spoke to James “Sternab” Parkinson, the OGA Pit, CCS and T3H League caster, to discuss his career so far.

Sternab is a British R6 caster who has seen a huge growth in popularity and success in recent months as he went from casting just the amateur “E-Sports Association” (ESA) League to now cast over 20 Pro League teams in the "One Game Agency" (OGA) Pit tournament. We asked him what it was like to work with these various leagues as well as his thoughts on the ongoing OGA Pit tournament:

To start, tell us a bit about yourself.
How did you originally get into Siege as a player?
Back in April, you began casting the T3H League alongside mzo, NeTfLeX and Demo. What was this like as a caster to cover?
Shortly after that, you started casting the European League of CCS Season 3 alongside the ex-Pro League caster of Panky. What is it like casting with a Siege personality such as him?
Most people, however, will know you from the casting of the OGA Pit series which involves 22 Pro League teams. What differences would you say there is casting these higher tier teams compared to T3H or CCS teams?
We have seen a number of surprise team showings in the OGA Pit series so far, especially in the Latin America League, which teams have you been the most surprised with so far?

In order to cast the OGA tournament you and your co-caster, med1czs, have been living in Croatia for the last week. How have you been finding this change and do you think this improves the casting quality?
Other than R6 have you cast any other games?
Do you have any tips for anyone aiming to become an R6 caster?
Finally, going into the future is there any extra projects we can expect?

Sternab will next be casting tonight at 5PM CEST when the OGA Pit European tournament restarts with PENTA Sports vs Mock-it Esports which you can watch on the ogarainbow6pit Twitch channel.
