[ VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
Rendog is placing red terracotta and quartz blocks along the edge of Blue River Raceway.
Ren: How did I meet Doc, then, at this tournament? Well, Doc was also invited to this tournament, and Doc was playing, uh, of course, for the German team. And Nvidia had put us all up in the same hotel together, and-- well, not all in the same hotel but, like, I think most of us were in the same hotel. And, when I got to the hotel, uh, by-- like, a taxi picked us-- picked up a bunch of us from the airport and then took us to that hotel. When I got there, got out the taxi, everybody else went into the hotel. I hadn't really, like-- it was kind of an awkward taxi drive, because none of us really knew each other. We were from different countries, y'know? We were all Youtubers and streamers and stuff from different countries, so we didn't really know each other. So they, like-- the rest of the people from the taxi just, like, went into the hotel, and I got my suitcase and started walking to the hotel. And there, leaning against the glass wall of the hotel-- like the hotel has this massive glass wall that looked into the lobby-- was a ridiculously tall, very good-looking German fella, wearing a hat, of course, with a bunch of like, festival arm bands, or, like, armbands from conventions, I guess. Just looking like, basically, the coolest cat I had ever seen. I was like, 'Oh my god, I know this person. This is- This is Doc.' (laughs) And, uh, at the time, like, I was a pretty small channel, I was maybe, like, I dunno, 50 thousand subs, or something? And Doc was, like, in the millions. (laughs) So I was immediately, like, quite intimidated and quite starstruck, y'know? Uh, 'cause this is somebody that I'd been watching for a really long time. Plus, he was massive, u-r-uh, insanely handsome, and, like, super cool. (laughs) I was, like, just this ner- this Minecraft nerd, y'know?
