Many of us are very fond of the famous television project, which has been broadcast on domestic television for several decades in a row, entitled “What? Where? When?". In this elite intellectual casino for all the years of its existence, a lot of bright, smart, charming connoisseurs have appeared, whose names are well known. But there are also individuals whose charisma and outrageousness never leave anyone indifferent. One of them is Rovshan Askerov. The biography of this hot man in his temperament will be considered in the article.
basic information
The future television star was born on May 4, 1972 in the capital of Azerbaijan - the city of Baku. The father of our hero was the well-known artist Enver Askerov, and his mother was called Elvira Askerova. In 1994, Rovshan Askerov, whose biography has recently been of particular interest to young people, successfully graduated from Baku State University, and after a while successfully defended his candidate’s degree in history.
Labor activity
Before getting into the intellectual casino created by the late Voroshilov, the Azerbaijani worked as a sports columnist in the popular Sport Express newspaper, where he regularly covered events from the world of skiing, fencing, cycling, and German studies. In addition, Rovshan Askerov (his biography contains several interesting facts) was involved as a journalist at the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.
Since 2007, the man has been an employee of the NTV-Plus TV channel. He also worked on one of the football channels, but simultaneously covered events in other sports. Since 2009, an emotional native of Baku has been collaborating with the magazine of the same name and is the main PR department of this publication.
In 2008, Rovshan Askerov, whose biography and personal life does not fall out of sight of the ubiquitous journalists, became the author of a book devoted to those cities and countries in which he visited personally. The year 2011 was marked for a man by filming in a film directed by Julius Guzman, entitled “Do not be afraid, I'm with you!” 1919."
Intellectual casino life
Start of games in "What?" Where? When?" for an Azerbaijani is dated November 28, 1998. During his stay in the elite club, Rovshan Askerov, whose biography also contains scandals, was several times honored to be recognized as the best player in the team. Playing in the winter series of 2001, our hero received a prize - “Crystal Owl”. Until 2013, Rovshan was a member of the team of Alexei Blinov, which, in turn, turned out to be the best during the Jubilee Games in the 2005 season.
In 2010, Askerov, being the captain of the national team of his country, was able to lead the team to triumph at the world championship among television clubs in the series “What? Where? When?". In 2016, the Azerbaijani created his own team, which, in addition to him, included five women.
On July 2, 2017, Askerov’s team managed to set an anti-record, which hardly anyone would want to imitate in the future: Rovshan, along with his casino colleagues, devastatingly lost to the audience with a score of 0: 6. In early 2018, the man received the title of Grandmaster of the club “What? Where? When?" in the city of Baku as the best league player for all five years of the existence of this game in Azerbaijan.
Scandalous behavior
The biography of Rovshan Askerov says that during his life he repeatedly entered into skirmishes and insulted his partners on the gaming table. So, for example, he had a fight with a representative of his own team, Iya Metreveli, who as a result was forced to leave the table. In general, an Azerbaijani was repeatedly expelled from the casino hall for gross violations of existing institution rules.
Another scandal involving Askerov, and live, occurred on March 27, 2016 during the Spring series of games. During the confrontation between connoisseurs and spectators, a situation occurred when the presenter Boris Kryuk first awarded a point to viewers, but after persuading Askerov, he still gave a point to connoisseurs. This situation greatly outraged the club’s master, Alexander Druz, who considered that the Azerbaijani was too much asking the host for a point in his favor.
In response to the reaction of Druce Askerov, he spoke very harshly: “Alexander, go nuts!” Moreover, Rovshan also categorically declared that he did not care at all about the opinion of the respected master and that he did not consider him a man of impeccable reputation. In addition, Askerov said that for him the opinion of not only Friends, but absolutely all other members of the elite intellectual casino of Moscow does not matter. It is worth noting that this incident was fairly quickly exhausted and did not go beyond decency. Nobody insulted anyone, and even more so there was no assault.
