“I’ve had an interest in esports since high school because I love playing games. During high school, I participated in tournaments organised by the school, and when I entered college, I started competing more seriously. My plan to become a pro player is uncertain; if I’m destined to be one, I’ll become a pro player,” said Muhamad Afif bin Muhamad Tarmizi (Kinder Bueno) from the LYK X USM team.
