One of the things that fans think little about when mentioning esports is cooking. Players and coaches often have enough on their plates without having to put actual food on their too. During Team Liquid's championship run at The International 7, they had a personal chef take care of them throughout the tournament. On Dec. 8th that chef, Jeff "eXtine" Extine did a Reddit AMA about TI 7.​

​​

EXtine talked very candidly about his time with the team, speaking about the players preferred meals, giving out recipes for hungry gamers, and even talking about Kuro "KuroKy" Salehi Takhasomi's favorite breakfast. The whole AMA is a fun and interesting insight into a side of professional gaming that most people don't think about.

The reason eXtine for the AMA was to promote a charity live stream that he is hosting on Dec. 9th and 10th. The charity will benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the goal has been set at $5,000. While there may not be any Dota 2 gameplay on the stream, eXtine will be doing some live cooking demos from his time with Team Liquid.

The full link to the AMA can be​ found here. No doubt it made many Redditors hungry, specifically for breakfast foods which took up a majority of the questions. Hopefully more AMA's like this happen in the future so fans can get a taste of working behind the scenes at big events.
