We all have seen and heard stories of e-sports legends , gamers going on stages lifting huge trophies, earning millions of dollars , fans cheering from all over the world , getting sponsors and what not .but…Its not that easy as you think it is , especially not in India .

If you think you can just get hyped up one day and ask or express your parents on supporting you on this journey of yours .You cant expect your parents to buy you an expensive PC with blinking RGB LED’s , 32Gb ram , RTX 2080 and what not .Things doesn’t work like that , not in India where majority is a middle class and with different cultures .You should know better than anyone else about the hard work of your parents, they work and hope to give you a better life, you should try to see things from their perspective which will actually help you get closer to your dream. You have house , food to eat , roof on your head all because of your parents .The case is different if you a kid of “Ambani” , but mostly even if your parents are rich that doesn’t mean your parents are gonna support you .Its your job to make them believe in your dream , you have to show them what you got , the passion , the energy , the willingness to not give up . There is always a right way to do things , a right path . There is no guarantee that you will surely become a “FAKER” or an E-sports “legend”, you should choose a path where you will have a backup plan , don’t skip studies do it alongside with your gaming , keep a balance between both , show your parents that you are not getting behind everyone else surely they will believe and supports in your dream.

Gaming is not just about playing any video game , gaming is a huge market with lots of attributes and roles .A career in gaming is not only limited to just playing games and championship battles. There are diverse careers in gaming to choose from and you can actually be a part of this exciting gaming industry. For instance, Video Game Developers/Designers write and debug codes to develop games for different platforms. They determine the design and basic concept of the game as well as the story and sketch of how the game will look like. The entire game development team consists of a programmer, writer, audio programmer, level designer, animator, modeler, license support engineer and software engineer. If you are really looking for a career in gaming , then you can consider multiple possibilities.

There is no easy path to get into the gaming industry, it’s a world full of hardcore and professional gamers coming together to make better and bigger games for everyone. Therefore, plan it right , take it slowly , make a balance in your life, keep your parents happy , and keep hitting that keyboard.
