 I started back in 1999 (I was then 14 years old), when only left the game Quake2, we played with the children in the computer lab at school. The spirit of victory in me grew and after a while I was already the best in the school.

After a while began to visit the city tournaments and then I was given to understand that I was still " lamer " in Q2. We have created a team , united , almost every day of training . Played on a 3x3 box of beer with different teams , we hang out together , in general , it was great = )  

A little later, I (aka Versus) and my teammate (aka MUk) is in the top 3 in the republic for Quake2 , traveled to cities in the tournament, won them. (Photo from the time there )

Then came the era of DOTA! 

I was the first in the Republic who began to play and, accordingly, founded a dota-motion. It all started with the local nets and Internet development in the country captured more large scale. 

And tournaments in cities of the first place. 

In 2008 my team was 1 on recent findings of the Volga region, after winning the Cup we went to Moscow for crapty tournament among the CIS countries "ASUS"! For us it was a great event, overall, we played well, took the 9th place! 

Going to conquer MOSCOW and the whole country:

After that, my ten-year career of players can say over, although we still with the same guy flexing in DOTA2, but of course everyone has other priorities in life, their families, their businesses. But a time when some Pro-gaming environment you were the authority, a legend, when the nights were going to workout with the team, then a deep sense of victory, drive, which all depends on your reaction, intention of winning, teamwork, stamped in memory and soul, and, at times, remember the moments, fall into nostalgia.
