Yeah I was just that random kid in a weird group with weird people talking about things that had no future (according to adults a decade ago).
I was that kid who loved video games so much I saved money from my weekly pocket money to buy PS2 games every week.
I was that kid who woke up early at 5 in the morning just so that I can play alone and without any disturbance from a sleeping little brother.
I was that kid who bought comics and magazines just because they have news on new and upcoming games for that year.
Little to say I've been growing up with video games like a snail with its shell. I'm not talented in gaming, I don't have professional level skills. But I love video games. And it would be my dream come true, if I can make a living from PLAYING video games. I thought it would be a good idea to try going into tourneys so I can improve myself and be at a higher level.
The challenges are many though.
Firstly one of my teammates isn't exactly studying in a local university, so I don't get to see him often. Plus he lives far away from my neighborhood.
Secondly, I've got teammates who are only in for their personal glory and satisfaction. It's not that bad if they manage to benefit the team indirectly. But it gets annoying when YOU have to be the one to step down from a fight (not a literal one) because you just had to take care of their feelings.
Thirdly, it's hard to find motivation in an atmosphere where people play just for fun. And that's it. You can't (I mean it's hard, not that it's impossible) find people who are in the game so they can go pro.
Fourth, we got the typical society where random/weird/no-future-kinda-shit stuff are looked at as if it's the most craziest idea since Sylvester Stallone wanted to be the lead actor for Rocky. I mean, they don't get much positive feedback from the.. typical community.
Sure wish I could find that motivation to strive for success.
