Kids nowadays usually at the age of 8 have dreams of becoming a doctor, soldier, pilot or police officer, in contrast to SumaiL who instead wants to become a professional DOTA 2 player.

A bold choice for a child who has not yet stepped on his teens but thanks to his strong determination, SumaiL managed to prove that his dream is not just a dream. SumaiL succeeded in realizing his dream and became the youngest player ever to enter The International. At that time, he was only 15 years old when he joined the Evil Geniuses team and immediately won the TI 5 title.

Syed Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan was first recruited by Evil Geniuses in January 2015. With a very short time, Sumail was able to make a big contribution to Evil Geniuses, so the Evil Geniuses team finally won the title.

Evil Geniuses itself consists of Peter “Ppd” Dagger (captain, support), Clinton “Fear” Loomis (carry), Syed “Sumail” Hassan (mid), Saahil “Universe” Arora (offlane), and Kurtis “Aui_2000″ Ling. What caught the attention of this team is Sumail (15) at a very early age, he has succeeded in becoming a millionaire.

Sumail was born and lives in Pakistan, where he lives "gaming" is something that is rare and not as popular in big cities. Sumail lives from an ordinary family. He doesn't even have a computer. To play games, Sumail has to go to an internet cafe (a kind of internet cafe). Sumail really wants to play, but he doesn't have enough money. To be able to fulfill this desire, he finally sold his bicycle so he could play DotA, even if only for a few hours.

SumaiL was first introduced to DOTA by his cousin when he was 8 years old. Since then, he has become interested in the game made by Valve and continues to play for hours every day. But, to be able to play MOBA games, SumaiL has to fight tooth and nail, bro. The lack of gaming facilities in the area where SumaiL lives makes him have to travel quite a distance to get to an internet cafe in the city. Because at that time, games weren't as popular as they were in big cities. Because of his strong ambition to become a professional player, he is willing to sell his favorite bicycle.

SumaiL was willing to do such a brave thing because he had no more money to play in an internet cafe. He doesn't want his desire to become an esports athlete to stop halfway. Luckily, SumaiL's parents were not against his dream but instead supported his son's dream. To be able to help SumaiL achieve his goals, SumaiL's father worked hard so he could invite his family to move to North America to get a better life and education for his children. While living there, SumaiL started participating in various tournaments until his name began to soar up in the North American community and was drawn by the Evil Geniuses team.

How inspiring right? When the family supports a child's hobby of playing games, the child will develop his hobby into a potential that actually leads him to success!
