This charming and modest gamer girl certainly loves gaming, and her streams reflect that passion.
Ni3na12 is a DOTA 2 fan through and through, so much so that she enjoys hosting DOTA 2 trivia streams for those that fancy themselves die-hard fans.
She is also an official caster for DOTA 2 matches and plays “hard support” for her own DOTA 2 league “NwB eternal”.
She has a variety of additional interests and passions also, such as a love for dancing and her role as a mother.
We were curious about her enthusiasm for gaming and wanted to learn more, so we caught up with her for an interview to learn about her and explore her interests, future plans, etc.
Like most interviews we started with the obligatory question first, something everyone wants to know:
Who is Ni3na12? and what is your backstory?
“I am a 31-year-old mother of 3 boys and a try-hard gamer and streamer doing try-hard things. Currently playing Dota 2 as a position 5 (Hard Support) for NwB Eternal… Whatever I may lack in skills I make up for in personality, snarky comments, and sarcasm.
Starting off with Sims, then during Covid times on to Dota 2, the need to broaden my horizon and my interest in gaming led me to play other titles such as The Forest, We Were Here, It Takes Two, Apex Legends, Unravel Two, Escape Simulator and yes ……. Monopoly too.
During my time spent gaming I have acquired a few friends along the way who I enjoy spending my time playing games with or having a chilled gin and cheeky cranberry. I am also a dancer, dancing is something I took up in 2016.
At that time I didn’t know a thing about it. At the stage in my life where I started my dance career, the odds were against me but that did not deter my motivation to strive to become a better dancer.
Dancing is not just another hobby of mine, it brings me relaxation, something to take my mind off things, and a release for when the going gets tough. Dance is not just about learning and performing, it’s about ENJOYMENT!”
What is your role in the gaming community?
“I originally joined a competitive Dota 2 team called Noobs with Boobs back in 2020, in the time since I have taken over the team and converted it into an organization now called NwB.
We are now seven competitive Dota 2 teams and my most recent role in the gaming community would be my contribution to the competitive league called CML, an amateur Dota 2 league.
I am currently one of four shareholders in this competitive league and our current league has over 40 teams participating from Prem division to our very own D division for newcomers.”
What is your favourite genre of game?
‘I don’t really have a specific genre when it comes to gaming as I enjoy playing all sorts and love trying new things.”
What is your preferred gaming platform?
“I am a PC gamer by heart”
What is your favourite thing about gaming?
“As a socialite, I would say the people I meet through gaming, I am an extrovert, and getting to know people and their stories gives me a different drive.”
What are your current projects and what do you have planned for the future?
“My current projects as previously mentioned involves me running the NwB organization and the CML Dota 2 league. I am looking at expanding our organization (NwB) to other competitive games like Apex and CSGO. For the CML league, I would like to keep the aim of at least 40 teams entering per month.”
Well there you have it this self-proclaimed socialite has many facets and enjoys bringing her outgoing bubbly personality to her streams where she showcases her gaming skills as well as bringing joy to her audience.
