“If you look at me today, you’d never have expected me to say that I actually had a pretty normal upbringing. I’m not a school dropout and I grew up listening to music and reading books just like you. I started gaming back in 2016 when I was still in university in the UK. Believe it or not, stress was the main reason why I decided to give Overwatch ago after a friend told me that there was this place where I could try out for free over the weekend. I badly needed a break from completing my thesis and since I couldn’t get in touch with my support group back in Malaysia, I decided to follow my friend’s advice and give this game a try. Surprisingly, I only finished at 4am and the first thing that came out of my mouth to him after that was, “I’ve never felt so relaxed like this in the longest time!” And that’s how it all started. I saw an opening in Malaysia where the M8 team was recruiting players for a tournament that led me to being accepted as a player until today. But I must say that some people are still in shock of my new-found hobby and these are some of the common assumptions people have about gamers and the type of problems we face.”
