So, for people who might not know you, can you give us an introduction to Griefdrums?

Hey! So I’m Griefdrums, a UK based content creator and Twitch Streamer currently serving full time in the military.

You are known for your Siege content among other titles, what got you involved in Rainbow Six Siege and inspired you to make content?

So I have been a big fan of shooter and stealth games for as long as I can remember, I used to play split screen Ghost Recon with my brother when I was younger and having played many of the original Rainbow Six games I was so hyped when I first saw the Alpha footage for Siege.

The game caught me by surprise as I didn’t realise what a departure it would be from the original games. I sort of expected a campaign with more planning etc. but fell in love with Siege as soon as I played it. When I saw how intricate the maps were, I really wanted to showcase to people how creative players could be within the game instead of taking 1 on 1 gunfights head on like most FPS games so decided to start trying my hand at YouTube and it kind of went from there!

You have been a creator in the space for a couple of years now, do you have a favourite memory from your time so far?

Besides some of the heart thumping moments in Siege when you manage to clutch a 1v5 in the final overtime round of some Ranked matches, my favourite memory is probably from the Paris Majors. It was the first big event I had ever been to and to be alongside so many great creators, friends and subscribers was incredible! Everyone went nuts during the finals it was awesome!

With so much time spent playing the game, if you could create an operator tomorrow, what would their set up/skill be? Aside from sporting a majestic moustache.

Well, the moustache is a given anyway! I personally love operators that seem simple on the surface but are meta changing, like a defender that has reinforcements that only go halfway up the wall! The number of ways to play around something like that could completely redefine bomb sites or even take bomb sites that aren’t normally viable and make them better. Combine that with a Mira window or Smoke... Game changing.

Create your own team - you are the coach, what 5 players are you picking up? It can be any player Pro or Am across the world.

Fabian is the best IGL in the game in my opinion, so I’d have to have him lead the team. I have so much respect for what he has accomplished, and I love how he is a straight talker, no messing around. BC would need to be in the team just for his legendary and creative grenade throwing ability.

Couple that with the likes of Rampy and CTZN and I think you’ve got a technically minded team with the potential to frag out when necessary. Last but certainly not least, you need a reliable Thermite/support main that can get the defuser down when necessary, is there any player in the game you would want over Goga??? Probably not...

Where’s the best place to find you?
