EPTWhen i first got my hand at SC2 i was like, "fuck yeah i would!"
Already then, I know that E-sports would be a big part of my future.
During when Quake was huge and WCG was just starting, I always try my best to follow what the latest happenings in the scene is.
I think my favorite news was when a countryman of mine beat a Korean during a WCG Championship Brackets for BroodWar.
It was pretty amazing...
When i stepped in college, i completely disbanded myself from e-sports and just hanged out with a lot of friends.
DotA was in its early stages back then and that was the easiest, most engaging thing to do with your peers during your break periods without breaking a sweat.
And when i saw the SC2 Beta Tournies on youtube, it just dragged me back in and then i realized that so many things have happened in E-sports since i last checked.
SC2 is a great game.
I knew that this would be the game i will invest a lot of time into.
And the field i chose to invest my time into is... casting.
I have been casting since August of last year.
With the ambition of being a professional, I did my best and learned a lot for castings.
I even went out of my comfort zone as I used to be the quiet one in the group.
Casting is amazing.
It is during when I cast that I feel happy specially when there's an epic match happening.
After a long day of casting, I feel accomplished. I want to do more.
I have done a lot of stuff already with the Philippine SC2 scene.
A community that started out with 30 members now has almost 2000.
This is a pretty huge achievement for us as a community and things are just looking better in the future as the Philippines just got back the WCG Qualifiers after a 2 year hiatus in our country.
Now, I am 23. I live in NY and very far from where all of my investment is happening.
With a full-time job, i am having a hard time breaking in the foreigner scene.
I want to commit to casting for live events but with my broken schedule at work, it's pretty hard.
It's starting to feel like this might be the best thing for me to do.... But I still want to..
And now i realize all those wasted years away from this.
I could've done more before that could be helping me right now.
Now, i guess i can say that i am willing to work a hundred hours for e-sports.
But is this the right choice for me?
Is this what i was really meant to do?
