If there is one thing I can share from personal experience which may be of benefit to you it is this: When you share your dreams and aspirations with people, it completely alters how they view you.

A prime example is my parents. I spend a lot of time on the computer both for work but predominantly for gaming/esports. They used to think I just sat in front of the computer "wasting time" and avoiding doing work. This was definitely not what I was doing. I was networking with people in the esport industry, learning about the scene and working towards my dreams of running the biggest esports event in the world - and still continue to do so today.

When I shared with them what I was doing on the computer but more importantly WHY I was doing it and what it both meant to me and also what my long term visions were - it completely altered their view of what I do.

This situation could be transferred to close friends, work colleagues - anybody who is involved in your life. If you want to succeed in your dreams, you have to have a support base around you. The only way to have that - is to share it with as many people as you can who are willing to listen.

All the best with your endeavors - I look forward to seeing your growth.

I completely agree with what you say baldie. Asian parents, except korean parents, are pretty close minded, they think sitting infront of the computer is just all about wasting time / playing games. But they don't know, some of us, are doing whatever we can to contribute to the community, to make e-sports a better thing / place to be in. I spent 80% of my time 'playing computer', which also mean 80% of my time trying to get better as a pro-gamer. They don't understand what pro-gamer do, and what it is or it means to be a progamer, until i explained to them clearly. Now, my dad who always disagree with me playing computer or being a progamer, is showing his support for me, which is what i really needed. P.S. i have a very very supportive and loving mom thats why i'm where i am now
