Over time, the hobby turned into something more and led to glory - a professional world-class cyber sportsman was a simple guy Alan Yenileev. How did he become famous? Thanks to perseverance, hard work and ... of course, a belief in your dream.

Let's talk about what is eSports. E-sports are gaming competitions, only they happen in the virtual world. With the help of computer technology, a virtual space is simulated, in which players compete with each other.

Cybersport is spread all over the world, but Russia became the first country to recognize these virtual competitions as an official sport. Five years later, in 2006, e-sports was ruled out of the roster in which it was previously listed. This was due to the fact that e-sports was found to be inadequate to certain criteria by which it could be continued to be considered a sport.

For a while cybersport even had an analogue of the Olympics - World Cyber Games, now this championship does not exist anymore. However, now there are other major competitions that gather thousands of participants.

Dream - motor sport

In his school years, he, like most boys, dreamed of getting into motorsports and driving cars. But at the same time he already understood that this is a very costly sport that requires large investments, and he had no opportunities for it.

For the first time behind the wheel of a virtual machine, he sat in 12 years. Alan could then train only on the auto-simulator, and participation in real races seemed a pipe dream.

Alan Yenileev remembers how his father bought a more expensive driving wheel for a car simulator - then it seemed to him the limit of dreams. Means to do serious motor racing, at that time was not, and for a while he replaced the real race to virtual. Alan also did not think that soon the fascination with cars would still lead him to the cherished dream.

Only after a time when Alan became known as a virtual racer, he mastered the real car.

Alan Yenileev is a participant in the racing team Boyko Racing, the same one that they organized together with the famous racer Alexander Boyko, but we will talk about this a little later.

Summer 2006
