Ash Parish, writing for The Verge, regarding The Game Awards 2022:
But despite all the awards and announcements […] tonight’s winner by a country mile was a curly haired session musician by the name of Pedro Eustache and the infectious, ebullient energy with which he played his flutes.
Passion is contagious. And this is why Flute Guy went viral.
During the medley of the main themes of the nominated video games, he was rocking with energy and pumping his fist in the air, while playing various types of flute. In the end, he celebrated as if the orchestra had won an award. He was just so into it.
Here is a video of all the shots that captured him.
A few hours ago, he responded with a personal video thanking everyone for their support.
Pedro made us feel his passion. What a legendary performance.
