Jovan “Ćiro” Ćirović, the captain of Metizport’s Brawl Stars team, has had a rough first split with the team as the trio failed to qualify both in March and April to the Monthly Finals in BSC.

 

Now the 20-year-old is regathering strength in between the splits together with teammate Decaii, after Marko “Remica” Ćirović was released from Metizport last week, and trials are already well on the way with the goal of filling the last spot in the team and gear up for the second split starting in June. We sat down for an interview with Jovan, touching on topics such as the experience of joining Metizport, the team’s performance so far, life as a professional player and more.

 

Over 2 months have passed since you joined Metizport – how has it been so far?

 

It’s been a great experience so far. Joining Metizport motivated me a lot. The environment is very professional, and everyone is focused on improving and winning. Going to Norway for the first time was really amazing. Everything was well organized, and it was a new experience for me.

 

 

Tell me a bit about the past two Monthly Qualifiers – how did they go?

 

The last two Monthly Qualifiers were a mix of emotions. They didn’t go as we planned, and the results were below our expectations. That being said, we’re taking a lot from those experiences. We are working hard to improve, so we can come back stronger and perform more consistently in the upcoming qualifiers.

 

Last week it was announced that Remica is parting ways with Metizport. What happens now?

 

Right now we are mainly focused on finding the best third possible for upcoming split. We already started doing tryouts with new players to see who fits us best. Besides that, we are also looking to add a coach to help us going forward. At the moment there is no final decision yet but the goal is to be fully ready for June Monthly Qualifers.

 

 

What is your goal for the remainder of the 2026 season?

 

My main goal for the rest of the 2026 season is to qualify for all three of the Monthly Finals and perform at the highest level possible. I want to keep improving individually and help my team achieve better results. Main goal for us as a team would be qualifying to LAN event.

 

 

What is life like as a professional Brawl Stars player? What does a normal day look like for you?

 

Life as a professional Brawl Stars player is actually quite balanced I would say. A typical day usually includes practice with the team and playing the game to improve individually. Outside of that, I’m also attending university and studying for my exams, so it’s about managing both responsibilities and staying consistent in both of them.

 

 

In your opinion, what are the most important things to keep in mind for someone who wants to reach the top?

 

I think the most important things are consistency and mindset. You need to practice a lot and always be open to learn from mistakes. Teamplay and communication are also very important, especially at a high level. Also you need to stay motivated and not give up, even when things don’t go your way.
