Sharkshe is an Indian content creator who specializes in gaming and entertainment. She had first made her mark by creating content related to fashion and lifestyle content. Due to having a passion for Esports and Video Games since she was a child, she transitioned into the world of gaming. Since the jump she has become one of the largest Indian female content creators in the scene and is associated with one of the biggest esports organizations in India, Godlike Esports.

Bryan Francis: You’ve been on quite a roll since the start of this year.

How has joining GodLike Esports and being part of the coontent group been for you?

Sharkshe: I consider myself to be living in the best of all possible worlds, as I began my career in lifestyle fashion, followed by gaming. Now, I am able to enjoy a variety of content, while still maintaining a passion for gaming. I believe that I have been able to experience the best of the worlds, even though it was a risky venture for me to begin with.

However, I believe it has been worth it, as I am having a great time. It may be more hectic than I would have preferred, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Do you feel that the Indian gaming community has treated you quote differently compared to your fashion & lifestyle content fans?

Sharkshe: It is my opinion that gamers and their fans are more passionate than ever. I have observed this during gaming events, and the people are so passionate about the subject. I can observe the desire in their eyes. Which I believe is more in line with those who follow my lifestyle or fashion content.

The fans of gaming are driven by curiosity and ambition to reach their goals, whether it be as a gamer or content creator for gaming or Esports.

Bryan: Lets talk about Red Bull Game On..

How has the Red Bull Game On experience been for you thus far?

Sharkshe: I am very happy as my team has won the match in quite a dominating fashion. We came today to win this match but to win it in such a style was the cherry on the top. Red Bull events are honestly my favorite events to attend during the calendar year.

This event’s unique selling point is that they have added a lot of cool rules to keep the game a bit more interactive and entertaining for the fans at home.  Having such rules at such a traditional sport of cricket is very cool and worked to our benefit at least in the first half.

Comparing this event to the one last year, what were they key differences for you?

Sharkshe: Last year, many spectators were of the opinion that the teams selected were too one-sided as they were preparing for the event. While both teams were training, we observed that the selection of the teams was quite well-balanced. With our team batting first, our main objective was to score maximum runs.

As the teams were more evenly balanced, I was able to get more involved in the game than last year. It is worth noting that the venue chosen for the event is quite unique as Cricket athletes visit this pitch to train and prepare for various tournaments in the country.

Red Bull Game On was a 10-match cricket match consisting of some of the biggest esports content creators in India. Players such as Ankit “Venom” Panth, Techno Gamerz & the recently announced Jonathan Gaming were present at this event. Additionally, content creators such as Xyaa, Rakazone, Hydraflick & Dobby Gaming took part in this one-of-a-kind event.
