Eric Wrona, AKA Snip3down, currently plays the flex role for Team Solo Mid in Apex Legends.
Snip3down is one of the most decorated and longest-lasting ESPORTS Pros competing in First Person Shooters. He began his career playing Halo and went on to rack up multiple tournament wins and championships.
Now playing Apex Legends for Team Solo Mid, he’s looking to write the next chapter in his legacy.
Snip3down lives with his wife Yasmin in Las Vegas, NV. They live just a short walk from TSM team members ImperialHal and Reps in order to build team chemistry outside the game.
MONITOR
ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QM 24.5” Monitor, 1080P Full HD
In order to get maximum frames and minimal input delay, Snip3dow chooses the ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QM 24.5” gaming monitor.
Even if you don’t have the latest graphics card, you should be able to pump decent frames at 1920x1080p.
This monitor shines as the portal into your FPS adventures with a gorgeous panel and outstanding mechanical design.
You can get one for a reasonable price. Do it, it will change your game!
PC
Lenovo Legion Desktop
Lenovo committed to Apex Legends big time by becoming their title sponsor. If you’ve ever watched the Apex Legends Online Global Series, you’ve certainly seen many ads for their Legion line of gaming desktops and laptops.
The legion 7i desktop model represents their esports tier offering from 2019. From Lenovo, you can expect a quality build, solid components, reasonable pricing, and good customer support. Lenovo mass produces pro-quality esports-capable machines that can compete with much more expensive boutique gaming PCs.
Snip3downs Lenovo Legion 7i Desktop Includes:
- i9-10850K
- Nvidia RTX 3090
- 32GB RAM
GPU
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition Graphics Card
The NVIDIA RTX 3090 is currently the fastest GPU on the market. In a game like Apex Legends, where milliseconds can be the difference between winning a championship or just another death box, you definitely want to invest in this aspect of your build. Snip3down counts on his superior frame rates to put his crosshairs on the enemy in every frame. At the highest levels of competition, if you don’t have the best gear, you’re at a disadvantage. Better to spend more upfront, allowing you to focus on your skill, instead of wondering, “If I had a higher frame rate and lower latency, would I have won that fight?”
CPU
Intel Core i9-10850K Desktop Processor 10 Cores up to 5.2 GHz
While having high frame rates depends more on your GPU, you still want a CPU that can handle the load. Especially if you plan on editing videos, creating thumbnails, or plan to stream from your gaming PC. Extra cores allow you to run multiple processes without slowing down your gaming experience or affecting your framerates.
Peripherals – Controller
SCUF Prestige Custom Performance Controller
Snip3down’s controller of choice comes from SCUF gaming, which ups his game with the inclusion of custom back paddles that are remappable to any control. Being the only controller player on TSM FTX, Snip3down shines in close combat with SMGs (the Prowler being his favorite) as well as shotguns.
The smooth, editable response curve allows Snip3down to dial in his aim to perfection. To be sure, teams are on notice when they see Snip3down in the kill feed and desperately try to find out TSM’s location before they become the next victim.
Peripherals – Earbuds
Bose SoundSport in-ear headphones
While these earbuds are expensive, they allow Snip3down to directionally hone in on his enemy’s footsteps and gunfire, giving him the edge when he’s on the hunt. A lot of novice gamers underappreciated the value gained from audio cues, but once you incorporating sound cues into your gameplay, it will unlock a new level of proficiency.
Gaming Chair
Herman Miller Embody
In order to rise to the top of any esport, every pro spends hundreds of hours each year seated at their computer. Herman Miller’s reputation for making the best office chairs led many gamers to adopt them as gaming chairs. While expensive, these chairs allow pros to sit for extended periods of time at their computer without fatigue. Herman Miller collaborated with Logitech to create the Embody gaming chair which promotes better posture and better game performance due to the multiple adjustments available. This allows ImperialHal to stay focused during extended tournaments.
<Authors note: Having just purchased one of these, I must admit, it’s really sweet. If you have the means, I highly suggest picking one up. The Herman Miller Embody Gaming Chair arrived in a huge box, right to my door, fully assembled. It took me less than five minutes to extricate it from the packaging and set it up for gaming.. I mean, for work! Also, if you’re worried about being slightly over the ‘warrantied weight’ I can confirm it is handling an extra 20lbs no problem. Your butt and back will thank you. Consider it an investment. If you spend lots of time at your computer or desk, you’ll notice increased energy and focus immediately. It’s that good.>
