Who is William Truong? I was born in Toronto, Ontario and moved to Mississauga (west of Toronto) when I was 2 and have lived there all of my life. Sports has been apart of my life since I was young. I remember watching Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday evenings with my dad. I participated in a variety of sports throughout my childhood including skating, swimming, baseball, basketball, volleyball, etc. This continued as I got into my 20s, where I participated in intramurals in university and then in a variety of sports leagues afterward.​
I would consider myself a secondary gamer. I owned the NES and played Dunk Hut and Mario are a child, but I was never a hardcore gamer who spent hours playing. I played whenever I was with my cousins or friends, but I never owned the latest and greatest system. I got introduced into MOBAs through Dota on Warcraft 3 and then I played League of Legends when it first came out in 2009. I stopped playing League of Legends after the first year, but I continued to follow the game on the professional scene as streaming became more popular. A few friends continued to play throughout the years and so we would go to live viewing events in Toronto, such as the 2013 World Championship where Faker and SK Telecom T1 exploded onto the scene sweeping Royal Club 3-0. The next major e-sports memory was in 2015 when Evil Geniuses won The International 5 and each player took home over US$ 1 million as the prize pool grew to over US$ 18 million as a result of the compendium.
With the growth of the internet, Reddit, YouTube, and apps (i.e. theScore and theScore e-sports), it is very easy to keep up with e-sports throughout the world. I still follow and watch all types of sports from tennis to basketball to football, both American and European. E-sports such as League of Legends and Overwatch have become staples in my life. In my mind, there is no difference between sports and e-sports as I love watching "athletes" performing at a high level in a competitive environment.
