Ive been using this website as a SC2 news portal since SC2 beta and only made an account now to post on this. This guy is really unbelievable. Ive met few people in my life who are as happy and work as hard as you, and they have 0 disabilities. In fact, I myself, the president of the top fraternity on my campus, would say Im not as happy as you. I really wish that I knew about that fundraiser before. I would have 100% donated. GLHF man.

I knew about this from awhile back but never came across the MrBitter interview. Watched the whole thing with a grin and went and favorited Mathew's stream. Looking forward to more and I hope the time at EG is well spent and fun!

As someone earlier in the thread wrote this makes me want to tackle the world tomorrow with a full head of steam.
All the best Mr Fink and I will be looking forward to hearing more.

Very nice article, it's good to see him get this kind of exposure because he kind of fell of the radar after the fundraiser.

"Here he outlined the fact that, while people with disabilities are often encouraged to compete, the truth of that competition is that it takes place between people with disabilities. By contrast, he feels that esports offer scenarios in which he feels as though he's at no disadvantage. The dream, he says, is that there will come a time when people with disabilities compete on even footing with able-bodied players in what he calls, "a shining example of what can be accomplished when people are willing to look past another person's physical appearance and see their potential and valuable perspective."


Well put. This is my dream for esport, i wish that in the future we will see disabled people competing with others fellow from different genders, race, whatever sexual orientation (as long as it's not children yeah) at the top level of esports. Not only it would be a marvelous thing to see, it would also be the best way to show to the world that esport is far more than just gaming, it's about competition, passion and dedication and whatever physical attribute you have, you can be the best.

I wish the very best to Matthew Fink, i hope his story inspires more disabled people to try their hand (no pun intended) at esports.

Also check out the story of Space, a korean progamer from warcraft3 if you don't know it. This guy is the real deal, he was badly disabled and managed to be one of the very best warcraft3 player.

I think it's incredible that he can play that well without hands. He definitely pushed through barriers that I would have probably stopped at. As long as we're being open, however, I think he needs to spend a little more time learning the game from a mental perspective. I don't know if he had to focus so much on the physical aspect of the game that he couldn't learn more about the game's details, but it's clear from the videos I've seen that he doesn't have a basic understanding of timings, unit compositions, builds, etc. That's the part of the game where he's not limited, and I think that might be the low hanging fruit that allows him to get quite a bit better at the game. Clearly, mechanically, he can do enough to be pretty good. Sorry if that sounds insensitive, but I really think it would help him improve.

At the end of this article, tears are not far away.... This guy is amazing !

His story is quite a lesson in itself, about willingness, about following dreams, about overcoming whatever life throws at you...

He deserves a lot of attention and support imo !
