Thoughts on Being a Professional

Translated by NotBlueYet

Edited by Kingavent

There is no clear definition of what it means to be a professional gamer.

I started working as a professional gamer about a year and a half ago.

Yes, it all started when I won the ProHople tournament in Japan.

Its been a year and a half already huh~.

I somehow remembered that.

It wasnt that I wanted to be a professional gamer.

At first, I started playing games just to escape reality.

I lost my mother, and the eyes of the world looked at us with kindness, but it was the eyes of pity.

Thats when I saw the game.

The game was good.

I could forget about the world and reality.

Only when I was playing games, I could enter my own world.

Why dont you try streaming your games?

Thats what my father said to me one day.

Why?

Because its fun to play games alone, but isnt it also fun to play games with other people?

With those words from my father, I started streaming games.

My username is Takamori.

I just changed my last name to romaji.

At first, I had only a few viewers.

However, the number of viewers in my streams grew suddenly.

There were many people who told me that they were fascinated by my play.

And when my channel had over 60,000 subscribers, I received an offer to participate in the ProHople Kanto tournament.

Why dont you enter?

You can do it!

My father and sister both supported my entry into the tournament.

With their encouragement, I decided to enter the tournament.

I made my first appearance in the Kanto tournament and won for the first time in my career.

However, Takamoris unrivaled performance did not stop there.

If you finish high enough in the Kanto tournament, you are invited to participate in the national tournament.

Of course, I also won the right to participate in the nationals.

And the result of the national tournament?

I won the championship.

This result attracted the attention of not only the gaming industry but also many media.

At the time, there was talk that esports might become an Olympic sport.

From there, I went on to win the Asian Games.

Finally, I achieved the extraordinary result of winning the World Championship.

At the time, I was the youngest world champion, so I was the subject of a great deal of attention.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, buddy.

Thank you.

My father and sister were as happy as if they had won.

After winning the world championship, my world changed drastically.

First of all, the number of subscribers to my channel increased dramatically.

I also received a tremendous amount of prize money.

My streaming became popular as well.

I want to be the kind of adult who can make someone else dream.

This became my belief as a professional gamer, Takamori and Ryo Takamori.
