What Is My e-Sport Story?

Hi everyone,
I have noticed that I post a lot on my blog about e-Sports but never have talked about what I have done myself that has to do with e-Sports. Well, here is my story!

Ever since the release of Call of Duty 4 I was competitive gamer. I never went to competitions but that is the game where it all started for me wanting to beat my friends. From there on, I have bought every single Call of Duty that came out, even up to the newest release of Call of Duty Ghosts.

In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is where I started looking into putting together a competitive Call of Duty team and competing like all the pros. That is when I started watching live events of pro teams winning events, and learning strategies of all the games that have been coming out. The sad side to the story is I turned out to be a bust. I couldn't put together a steady team at the age of 15 years old and I almost wanted to give up. But one thing my dad always taught me, is if at you first don't succeed, try and try again. So I did. I kept on pushing my efforts into being a good Call of Duty player and then the release of Call of Duty Black Ops 2 came out. That is where my competitive world really took the biggest turn.

In Call of Duty Black Ops 2 I finally established a constant 4 man team and was able to compete. That is where I went to MLG.com and played against other teams that were looking to get to the top. My team rose up the ranks, of course losing some before he we hit the top 50 teams in the world for competitive Call of Duty on MLG.com. That doesn't include all the pro teams out there and the teams that practice in other ways. I spent the majority of my days constantly playing Call of Duty to where my mom hated me being home because all I did was sit in my room. It wasn't the healthiest diet plan I shall say. I became recognized as a Top 3 player in the State of Maine for Call of Duty. Then the release of Call of Duty Ghosts came about.

When Call of Duty Ghosts was released my same 4 man team was able to get a sponsorship with Aroma Joes Rush Energy and that is where I stand now with my competitive Call of Duty career. It never gets boring to me, even though I do get really frustrated. I will always have a passion for being a Call of Duty player and soon become a Call of Duty pro.

Besides me becoming a top player in my state for Call of Duty, I have always noticed the growth in e-Sports in the years. I am now getting a liking into the evolution of PC competitive games and once in a while enjoy watching Dota 2 or Star Craft 2 players go against each other. ESports will always be the biggest passion of mine and even when I get too old to play video games, I will sure keep up on all my favorite teams progress as I support them like most people do their favorite sports teams.

Thank you for reading, if you have any questions comment on my blog!
Have a great day!
