A Little Bit About My Passion For Gaming

Hmm, why did I said that my passion was on gaming again? Well, the truth comes now. I've been gaming for almost 9 years (I started when I was 8). But at the first it definitely wasn't Dota, I used to play the PS2 (PlayStation 2) most gamers would probably know it. My favorite game was "Black" it's an first person shooter game but the graphic for "Black" back then was already the best I could ever imagine. I get very excited to game every single weekend because my parents only allow me to play during the weekends those days.

But as I move on to life, I started to like how the online games on computer works. I then started to play a very famous in SEA (South East Asia) game called Sudden Attack when I was 11 years old. I got to play as the role of a Rifler in my team and my favorite rifle was definitely the AK-47. But I had always wanted the sniper role but I wasn't good enough to be in. I remember that I judged the MOBA community when I was 12 by saying "What is the purpose of a game that don't really use the keyboard." But until I move to Dota I realize that the keyboard is the most important thing for the game.

There comes Dota, one of the world's most famous MOBA game ever. I have always been dying to try Dota but no one ever taught me how to play and I was lazy to try it out. Then there goes a true Chinese idiom of me "The fox complain that the grape was sour just because he did not have the chance to eat it". But then I finally got the chance to play the newer version of DotA, Dota2 when I was 14. But it was different from the way I play Dota from Sudden Attack. I have never played a MOBA game before in my entire life and there goes my first try. It was really hard for me to cope. All the items, hero builds, last hits and also the "Secret Shop". I never knew about the Secret Shop until someone told me. I thought I was just playing a simple and a normal game which you there will only be items sold in the base (Fountain). I will explain more details about the game further on.

But the main point is, I never knew that I will succeed in this game because it's a game that I've never played before. Then I realize, in life you have to keep trying and to keep moving forward. Don't just look at how bad are you now but to look at yourself you have to seek deeper into the future. Also thanking God that he gave me this opportunity to try out the game; not just try out but to also be better in it.

Oh yeah and I have never mentioned, the person that introduced me to this game to me is Jessie. Yes... I know I know she's a girl and she's introducing and teaching a guy how to play a game. But you simply can't imagine she taught me that right? Anyways, most of you guys know who is she to me.  At first I didn't know that she plays game, because she introduced me to this game when we the in the 8th grade. BACK THEN SHE WAS QUIET AND CHEERFUL, not sure what has happened to her now..... Just kidding yaaa. So yeah, she played pretty well and I couldn't picture me getting owned by a girl because I'm a very competitive person. Then so I got a little bit 'Kiasu Laaa' (Afraid to be Defeated).

Me for Being too kiasu

So I started to work hard on Dota and there were few of my schoolmates that accompanied me playing it too! Kah Ming (Another person that taught me), Justin (He was a close friend but he moved to another school), and most importantly Yong Jie (My brother from another mother) "YEAH FEEL TOUCHED SMALL SANS YJ". Kah Ming don't play Dota anymore but you can definitely catch him playing CS:GO (Counter Strike: Global Offensive). Justin, I don't really catch up with him now. Jessie, Yong Jie and I will usually play Dota on the weekends together to improve our teamwork and to also have fun at the same time.

I have never found my passion in Dota until a year later, I said "Hey, you know what? I am going to take this game to the next level. Soon I will be going to tournaments by tournaments and one they I'll tell the people that I actually succeeded in something to prove that I'm actually not useless". Until now, I still have that passion and that thinking of Dota. Dota is something that I really do not want to give up on because I know deep down inside I can do it and I am going to make this dream happen to my life.

This is about it guys I hope that you guys liked the post and I'll catch you guys on the next blog.

Basically Dota is a passion of mine and I would love to take Dota to the future and make it my career. But I know that there would be obstacles. All I have to know is to never give up in my dreams.
