There are few names that carry as much weight in the Call of Duty: Warzone<\/a> scene as Ethan “Fifakill” Pink, a regular contender in Warzone tournaments and perhaps best known for his World Series of Warzone Season 2 NA SoloYolo win back in 2022. Fifakill cut his teeth in Verdansk, and Warzone’s move to Urzikstan and Rebirth Island hasn’t slowed him down either. But thanks to the rise of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile<\/a>, Verdansk is back and just as fast-paced as ever. <\/p>\n

In the midst of filming a brand new Call of Duty campaign with Monster Energy and fellow ambassadors, we spoke to Fifakill to understand just how important Call of Duty is to him. <\/p>\n

GINX: Tell me what comes to mind when you think of Call of Duty. What do these games mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fifakill: “Call of Duty is everything. It’s literally been my entire life for as long as I can remember. I started when I was six. I mean, it’s a bit unorthodox, but just split-screening with my dad. Back in the day, that’s how it was done. Then it just carried on from there. My dad noticed that I was quite good, so he pitched me against his friends that were a bit older. I beat them, and then just slowly worked my way up the chain. Started grinding leaderboards, like MW3 (2011), trying to get as high as I could. Then from there, it became almost an addiction. I just loved it. How high can I push these limits? How far can we go? And it’s just been the story ever since. Just kept going and going and going.”<\/p>\n

GINX: What do you think sets you apart from just playing Call of Duty casually to turning it into your life and your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I think the main thing is that I didn’t go into it knowing or thinking it could be a job — It was a passion. I was so passionate about it, even now, that I can just outwork everyone else. I just put so much time in that at a certain point you’re bound to just end up quite good. I was looking at my stats yesterday; I’ve streamed 350 hours of CoD in the last 30 days, which averages out to 11 and a half hours a day. And I’ve been doing that for like four years!”<\/p>\n

GINX: And that’s what you have to do, right? Just to even make a dent. Especially when it comes to streaming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fifakill: “They say it takes 10,000 hours to master anything and I’m probably double that, if not more, on CoD.”<\/p>\n
