His name is Gary Zubieta, he was born in Cochabamba (Bolivia) and he is an industrial engineer.
He is passionate about football, food, music, video games and chess. 

He played Hattrick for many years until he lost the team. He took over the team a few months ago, but at the moment he only connects so as not to lose it. He hopes to get organized soon and get back in the game with everything.

He played from season 3 (July 2004) until season 37 (March 2015), when he lost the team due to lack of time and inactivity.
During those 11 years, he was very much hooked on the game, liked to contribute with data and was an important part of several studies (transfers, study of the hidden form and others that mostly helped to understand the game better).

He was a moderator for several years, and was later selected as the GM of his country.

His best time as a manager was since the 14th season in which he took advantage of the power of the AoA line-ups, that season he was promoted to the second division, in the 15th he was second, but in the 16th he was promoted to the first division in which he was crowned champion in the 17th season. 

He was able to play the Hattrick Masters and passed a round. The success was due to a study they did on how managers paid much more for a player in good form than one in bad form. He was training form and lining up midfielders and defenders, and selling them a week or two later at much higher prices.

The colleague is gonna be interviewed this week is LocoxWilster, borned in Cochabamba (Bolivia)

It's an industrial engineer, videogames lover, whose Hattrick trajectory will be of interest. He hasn't only been moderator and GM, also precursor of certain studies as transferences types, hide form or both concepts mixed referring as the economical plus obtained training form (I imagine endurance too).

¡Let's go!

1. Let's talk about Hattrick, how nice is your return. ¿What reasons motivate you to leave Hattrick till nowadays?

Basically the work. I was manager of Contact Center in a telecommunications business for several years. Little by little the lack of time makes me neglect the team until finally I didn't realise I'd lost it.

2. Let me congratulate you for the utility of those studies you carried out, I imagine other users contributed too. Tell us something about them. 

I didn't make these studies for my own, in fact I participated in them, as I was member of a Spanish federation, maybe you remember the user Shulo, several studies were made and they posted the results in a website it doesn't exist now, it was more than 10 years ago so I don't see the utility of telling the details of those studies (furthermore I don't remember at all), but the one more used was one we made about transfers, we know what day and hour was the best for selling a player and what time was the best for buying them. I take profito f it with players with playmaking 16.

3. Referring to the competition, u have achieved several goals: winner of 1st bolivian division, participation in Hattrick Masters... What do you remember with more love of those successes? 

The friends I made in that time. We met in Bolivia for talking for hours about Hattrick, while the rest looked at us and didn't understand nothing ja ja ja. I remember with love several things, like the time Bolivia won Sweden using a 0-7-3 as a line-up, after that defeat Swedish guys changed HT's engine. I didn't play with this line-up, but I used the same idea for becoming the champion. Midfield reinforcement (spirit management was fundamental) and having a high trust and good forwards. The defense were players who only has playmaking, they played in offensive. Moreover I made money with steptrading as the midfielders who played as defense grew playmaking with residual training. The truth is that was very emotive became the champion in that way, as in my country no one used this kind of strategy.

4. AoA has been always very used. Having a great midfield, with attack, taking no care of the defense. It was a federation (I don't remember if it still exists). My question: was AoA before a way to achieve thhings in Hattrick while now is only a punctual solution?

Yes, before it was a way to achieve things, in that way I became the 1st division champion. It was too because Bolivian league wasn't so strong and it let me play that way. I think today you could win some match, but winning a title playing that way is impossible nowadays.

5. I haven't asked you about your experience as a Staff member. You will have several anecdotes. Tell us one of them.. Are you still joined in some way with the people you worked with?
I have lots of, but the worst was when Hattrick fell for several days. Databases were lost, promotions dissapeared, matches were replayed with different results... Promising youth players dissapeared, cancelled transfers and all you can imagine. We had thousands of tickets to solve. We got up in the morning solving problems, but there were a lot of people unhappy. My phone didn't stop ringing, as all my friends needed me.
Look, whilst I was answering this interview I found an article I just wrote for a Spanish page which interviewed me:

ONE DAY IN A GM'S LIFE 

6 am and my phone rings again, I wake up after having answered hundreds of e-mails. While I answered the phone I enter to Hattrick in order to see if server is working again, while I connect, my brother asks me if I know when Hattrick will be available again. My answer is the same: Not, Johan hasn't called me yet. The answer tries to hide my worry running through my veins, powerless, anguished and desperate for knowing what was happening to hattrick.
Today is Wednesday and that was the day when Hattrick would be back to work after the longest fall in its history. F5 button (refreshing) seems that asked me leaving to use it as I pressed it all night and the result was the same, I saw a guy in a deckchair who I detested as he was taking a nap while I woke up 15 times during Tuesday waiting hattrick to recover the normality.
A fast bath and an uncommon breakfast accompanied me that morning I had to go early to work. Whan I arrived my boss had sent me several emails invitating me to a meetings, I said that will be a hard day. It was near midday and my phone rang again with that Hattrick boys ringtone "♪♪ Hattrick, hattrick, is a way of life... ♪♪", it was my wife and I guessed the reason of that call. I escaped for a while of that meeting and yes, hattrick had came back to the normality excepting that the friendly game my wife had played, now had lost it for W.O, in addition that the "world class" she had bought on Sunday night had disappeared, he wasn't in her team. Before coming back to the meeting I made 3 or 4 callings, in order to tell some friends and familiars that Hattrick was working okay again. Minutes later I regretted for doing that...
Uncountable callings in my phone interrupted my boss voice who was transmitting his vision to the following semester, familiars, friends, acquaintance and unknown had called me for asking me how we where gonna compensate them for the things that had occurred during the fall.
I opened my laptop pretending I was taking notes of the things my boss was saying, whose voice sounds me like a language I'd never heard before, I took a fast look on the conference and I saw Enrique (Bolivia's MOD) answering that GM's were going to appear for answering officially to the things that had occurred, I was trying to obtain a communication from the big bosses (HT's) for helping Enrique......a soft kick turned me into the reality, as my boss was looking at me as waiting for my answer, I had to say I hadn't understood him and If he could repeat it again :$
That was my working day, with distractions and worries for the occurred in Hattrick, but at the same time concerning all the problems in my work and the desperate callings from my wife fa_vermelha due to her training's lack.
The conference in Bolivia hadn't been solved as it should and the cup matches now had another results, chaos took possession of the conference and HT's repeated that now more than ever our work was extremely important. Of course... and what about my team? I couldn't yet take a look of the consequences suffered by my Hattrick team.A fast explanation of what occurred and promise that I will answer all the questions one by one, the reclamations and the swear words someone made to the website. It was too the disorientated who entered the conference talking about other football virtual manager that never falls.
I wrote an automatic answer to the e-mail and I ran to my old-school... yes, I almost forgot that today we play the quarter finals match in the futsal championship of old-students. The rest in the match was a bit relaxed as we won 7-2 and it looked the result seems we were the favourites for reach the final, we commented with polters about Hattrick, being both so worried. I thought futsal would made me forget about the problems, but no, that day I learned the passion for the nicest online game was very inside me, every opportunity I had I talked about Hattrick.
I came back home exhausted, my 2 yo son André was waiting for me in order to play Micromachines and for helping him to open its solitaire "Carta Blanca" as every night we did. I wanted to open Hattrick while we did it, but the sweat voice of my son saying: "I'm going to click ALT-F4, now?" left me with no arguments for not following with the most important mission in that moment, open the solitaire again!
Near to 11 pm, we had already played 20 Carta Blanca's games and my son felt asleep in my arms, I took him to the bed and I entered to see my team after several hours, it seems the luck was with me, my team hadn't suffered any important consequences for the fall, I felt better to enter the conference for chatting with other users and calm them. My heart began to beat faster, my hands went to my mouse, did click in my club a first advice something would be add to the day, another fast click to players and noooooooo, Pánfilo Escobar had become a dream, after long seasons waiting for a decent youth player, with good playmaking and acceptable passes with 17 years, he wasn't no longer in my team. Yes, the backup...I'd forgotten.
456 mails in the HT-mails, thousands of accusations of cheating teams, tickets to see, new teams to bring, questions in the conference to ask and thousands of laments, my wife's one included, resigned to the occurred and waiting for me to give her support, made me leaving Hattrick for a while...
A long Thursday was waiting for me. In that moment light turned off with my wife between my arms, finishing another day in a GM's life...

6. Talk about Bolivia. Politics, economics, society, gastronomy...

I life in Cochabamba, known as the gastronomic Bolivian paradise, it has spicy food,flavoured and served in abundance. It may sound weird ja ja ja. I found some photos in my friend's álbum for you to see: https://www.facebook.com/marcosalex.figueroacandia/media_set?set=a.10150097600282888&type=3
Politically my country is happy as we are free of Evo Morales, who was our president for more than 14 years. Sadly the misuses still follows as there are lots of rural people who are being forced to manifest or abandon, as if they don't do it the syndicates burned their homes or steal their lands, I think liberate the rural people from that will take long time... Most of them are ignorant and controlled by the syndicates, only for understanding the ignorance's level and the control they had over them, they told them " the coronavirus has been brought by the right's president and we cannot afford it remains in the power", with it they made them going out causing instability. Anyway, the country is very nice: I invite you to know Titicaca's lake, "Salar de Uyuni" and take a round in Cochambamba's valleys and taste the different food we have.

7. Music or videogames are things I know you like them. Sum up the present as a comparison with the past.

I left the PC's videogames, I mean, every time I'm less gamer, but I still love them. I've remplaced them by the mobile phone's game, as I can play them at any place I'm. I like a lot Supercell games (Clash Royale, Clash of Clans y Brawl Stars)

8. I can't obviate you love chess. I'm very bad playing it. May be the backgammon... Do you practise it? How did you learn to play it? Did somebody transmit that passion to you?

My uncle was national champion and my dad was university champion, so they taught me how to play. I defend myself, I've never played it professionally, after several years I begin again to play it as my oldest son like this game, so this last month we are playing 4 times a week.
About the backgammon, my dad told me the game was so good, but I never learnt how to play. Now we are in quarantine due to Coronavirus, I try to go deeper in that world.

9. What has Hattrick brought to your life? 

Lots of Friends

That's today's interview! I hope it has been interesting. I say goodbye with a song from a band originary from Cochabamba:
