Throughout my growth, competition has always attracted me. Competition is not just about winning or losing, but the kind that motivates you to improve every day. Whether it's playing soccer with friends or constantly leveling up in new games, I yearn to master it, understand game mechanics, find advantages, and then defeat everyone with that.
This mindset has accompanied me through every stage of life and has shaped my career - first in esports, now in Web3.
(Fortnite) was the first game that truly opened my eyes. I became a professional player when I was very young, not because I was pursuing anything, but because I simply couldn’t stop. I fell in love with it, the continuous intensity, the desire to think beyond and build - it’s addictive. Long ago, I realized that my building and editing speed, combined with my natural aiming ability, took me to another level.
I would participate in scrims with top players to maintain my edge, sometimes even dominating. But the moment that truly made my dreams come true was qualifying for the (Fortnite) World Cup Solo tournament. That was my turning point; at that moment, I knew I belonged at the top.
Since then, the elements of the game have changed significantly. In the past, it all depended on who edited the fastest. Now, it’s more about game awareness - predicting opponents’ moves and mastering piece control. If you want to stay competitive, you must constantly evolve, and I have always been happy to accept challenges.
When I was younger, it was very difficult to balance streaming and competing. At first, I didn’t stream much; I just wanted to win. But over time, I learned to manage both. Now, I really enjoy streaming during competitions, engaging in chat, and observing their reactions to great plays or key victories, making the whole experience more fun and meaningful.
It was this mindset that attracted me to join Dookey Dash. My two old friends, Mitr0 and Milan, introduced me to the game. At first, I was just curious, but when I realized there were leaderboards and prizes, I was immediately hooked. I worked hard every day to optimize my gaming experience, just like participating in Fortnite tournaments.
When I finally won the Key NFT, the excitement was unbelievable. At that moment, I didn’t even think about its value - the pure satisfaction came from investing time and finally winning. It wasn't arrogance, but I also placed second and third.
Ultimately, I sold the Key on OpenSea for 1,000 ETH, which was a significant decision but felt right. Beyond the money, it connected me to a larger cause. Web3 has always been on my radar, but this was my first real moment in the spotlight through it.
I want to do this the right way, so I paid Yuga the full royalty, which is important to me as a sign of respect for this space and its builders.
I truly believe that blockchain can make gaming better. Ownership is a significant issue. In the Web2 era, you can invest thousands of hours and money into a game, but if your account gets banned or the game shuts down, you lose everything. With blockchain, players actually own their in-game assets. This level of transparency and security could change everything.
I’m sure that large studios like Epic and Riot will also enter this space. Just look at (Fortnite) UEFN - they are already breaking boundaries. With the shift in game economic models, players are expected to have more control, whether through prize pools, tradable items, or player-driven ecosystems.
The profit model is also evolving. Currently, most professional players earn far more through streaming, sponsorships, and content revenue than actual competitions. I’m not sure how Web3 will change this status quo, but I believe the potential is there, especially for players who dominate certain games or have scarce digital assets. With the increasing popularity of DAOs and decentralized tournaments, this could empower communities to shape the competitive landscape.
That’s one of the reasons why partnering with OpenSea makes so much sense. During Dookey Dash, I used it every day. It is my preferred marketplace for buying NFTs. I genuinely believe it has the potential to connect Web3 and gaming in a meaningful way. Currently, NFTs still have a negative image in some gaming circles, but what about the idea of trading in-game items across different games? That’s significant.
Imagine when you stop playing the game, or when you can use them outside the game in the future, you won’t lose all your in-game items. Instead, you can trade or sell them on OpenSea.
As for my upcoming plans, I can finally share more experiences about cryptocurrency and Web3. I have been navigating this field for a while, collecting NFTs and learning about it. Now it's time to share those experiences with my community and further explore the games in this space.
I’m excited to partner with OpenSea to help everyone understand how these games work and their features. Besides that, I will continue to stream, keep working hard, and start filming more real-life content later this year.
So far, it has been a crazy journey, and I feel like it has just begun.
