A SECOND love?
That might be the case for Emilio Aguinaldo College guard Kyle Carlos, who is out to prove he has what it takes in esports in the Collegiate Center for Esports (CCE) Mobile Legends: Bang Bang 5-on-5 Varsity Cup (MVC) set next month.
“Personally, aside from basketball, gusto ko talagang maging esports player,” Carlos said.
“Mahal ko ang esports. Personally, second choice ko siya next to basketball,” he added.
Carlos, who is starting his own stream Puppet, advanced to the semifinals of a 1-on-1 exhibition tournament recently and will link up with Jomar Amador, Ralph Vincent Robin, Adrian De Guzman, and Christian Angelo Cabuhat in the maiden esports league, which is streamed on CALM Network with Alaxan FR, Bio-Agrownica, Rebel Sports Pilipinas, Tagaytay Pura Vida Resort and Hotel, and SMDC Malls serving as sponsors.
Like in basketball, preparation will be among the keys in esports, according to Carlos.
“Kung anong kailangan sa basketball, ganoon din sa esports. Kailangang mag-practice, kailangan magpalakas, kailangan magpa-kundisyon. I-translate mo lang sa online games,” Carlos said.
“Kahit ano mang sports, practice ang sikreto. Ngayon, kung gusto mo makapasok naman sa esports varsity team ng mga school ninyo lalo’t may CCE na, ganoon din ang kailangang gawin.”
