About

Moving away from international esports

In 2o20, he was originally set to host the Dota 2 Major ESL One Los Angeles 2020. It would be his first time hosting a Dota 2 Major, which would increase his chances of participating in The International. However, the event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After spending 2 years with his family during the COVID lockdown, he realized that a successful international esports hosting career would require a significant time away from his family. He chose to focus on a career locally in the Philippines, "to live a life where [he gets] to see his family every day." He is still open to esports opportunities, so long as it does not compromise his priorities in life.[note 1]
