FOUNDER’S MESSAGE

Personally as a passionate gamer and esports evangelist turned entrepreneur and team owner, I have been through rough and bumpy roads. There is no school nor people that gave me what I needed for the lessons and thus I wasted a lot of opportunities, time and money.

In short, I banged enough walls. Seeing esports is here to stay and millions of youth is flowing into the space with only minimal knowledge in the field just like me years ago, I dedicated in building this gaming and esports education platform to benefit young man like you in a far more affordable manner.
