WHAT STOPPING US?

Its been awhile since I type on my keyboard for serious writing. But it has been in my mind since then to write about it but couldnt find the perfect timing. Now i've learn there is no such thing as perfect timing, its all about if I wanted to do it or not.. and so I did!



I believe everyone as gamers,be it casual gamers or competitive gamers would like to see E-Sports grow in Malaysia. Im not talking about the same old small tournament here and there which always base on popularity or trend of a certain game, im talking about the true E-Sports; Having our own national gaming league irregardless to games popularity and trend, E-Sports as a career and most importantly, E-Sports as a national sports.


So what stopping us? We have the numbers, we have the quality, we have tournaments every now and then, so what stopping us?


This question seems to amazed me everyday. Because as I go deeper,more and more theory pop up out of a sudden. It can even confused you which is the correct path and which is not.


But from all the path, everything share a common and main reason of it success. It is

UNITY

Scrap all those bullshit talk about no financial support, no government support or what ever brilliant excuses many had think of. The only reason why we are still nowhere is because we are not united enough. We brag about how good are our popular game is and look down on the rest. We ridicule those who think are playing unrealistic game and talk about the awesomeness gameplay of our sacred game. We envy other communities success and giving out excuses of why they can do it but not us. We even form up our very own group of haters to justify our low IQ thinking and to.. well to hate other games! What the hell?


Scrap this. Scrap that. Scrap it all! Scrap all of this gamist nonsense!


How can we be united when we find reason to divide among ourself? Why cant we just live in peace? All of us want E-Sports to be true in Malaysia. We all have the same dream. So why should we fight among each other?


As what my mom perfectly summarize it to me

“ We shall not envy others ability. We shall thank God that God has blessed us with great abilities and God shall blessed us more when we learn to appreciate ourselves and OTHERS. Coz God loves us all and hate to see we fight among each other. For that is the devil's plan”

Think for a moment now. Are we matured enough to form our very own E-Sports?
