Our third guest for the month is a SplinterlandsTV superstar. Armed with one of the greatest attitudes in the community, amazing sound effects and other bells & whistles alongside a knack for creating must-see TV, he also happens to be a formidable foe on the Splinterlands battlefield, routinely competing at the highest levels of our game. He represents one of the huge emerging markets in the Web3 gaming space and our potential next Splinterfest destination in the Philippines.
Damien started playing Splinterlands back in July 2021, but he's a long history with gaming that's led him to our corner of the Hive blockchain.
Boasting a well-rounded resume of achievements in Web2 gaming, including his holding of world records in Initial D Arcade games, finishing in the Top 20 in Gran Turismo Academy Philippines, he remains present in local tournament scenes for fighting games like King of Fighters and Street Fighter.
With his history of being a gamer since age of 3, people have been pushing him to livestream or make content and, fortunate for us, he did just that, starting with streaming MMORPG games like Ragnarok Mobile.
It was during the most recent bull run, however, that Splinterlands caught Damien's eye. He began looking at P2E games at the time, but being a longtime Magic: The Gathering vet, it was Splinterlands that made the most sense for him to get in to.
At the time, Filipinos were more concerned with Axie but when they finally found out how fun Splinterlands could be (not to mention the comparatively smaller investment needed to get into the game vs. Axie), they started to look around for local sources of information about the game and Damienwolf was the only one streaming.
Thus, his followers grew and he was known as the first Filipino streamer of the game. It helped that Damien was different from the majority of other local streamers of other games as he spoke English on his streams and could hold a conversation with other OG's of Splinterlands like Bulldog, Dwayne Cunningham, and LukePlays2Earn, all of which he interviewed on his channel much to the delight of the Filipino community.
Wolf gradually became more involved in the game and community being part of Splinterlands PH and although he is now streaming more of other games on his personal channel, he still has a regular time slot in SplinterlandsTV (available Sunday evenings Asia time) in which he was part of the first batch of hires for this epic team of streamers.
Be sure to catch his streams over on SPLTV. You can connect with Damien on Facebook or Twitter. Damien's also got a Twitch and YouTube channel where he posts some fantastic guides and techniques he uses in his own Diamond/Champion league ladder climbs.
We look forward to sitting down for a chat with our second OG of the month and picking Damien's brain on all things Splinterlands!
