Playground Season 2 Contestant Ayan Ali- Speaks About His Journey And His Vision For The Current Season

Tell us about your journey and what inspired you to join the industry.
I was a civil engineer with a government job and I worked while gaming on the side. While I didn't get a lot of scopes back then, everything else with my time was running along. When I started hearing and paying attention to the gaming world from the news about PUBG, unfortunately by destiny I was left with a hand injury that put me on bed rest. Back then, PUBG started gaining momentum in India, allowing me to get a wish and play the game competitively and for content creation. 

I wanted such a chance to showcase myself and slowly the windows opened which helped me move up the ladder of the competitive world from early tournaments. After event qualifications and merging connections with steaming and competitive stuff, Mortal gave me a shot to pursue this further which took me off and got me started in this new life.

Has it been a tough ride for you? How has your experience been?
It sounds easy to compete and pledge yourself to your dreams but there is more to each of these struggles irrespective of the offers I got lucky with. With the ups and downs, I reached a place for feeling happy about my work and achievements.

My dad is pleased with the things I do in my day which by good graces has pushed me further into the gaming world with great satisfaction to continue on my stature in the competitions. I've checked and learned many things from quitting my job and taking a year off to prove myself to get a sense of accomplishment within the gaming industry.

What motivated you to be a part of Playground Season 2?
We had a wild card entry in Playground Season 2 that motivated us to try harder to reach the position we wanted, which excites my competitive nature.

Anything that you wish to say about any mentor?
I had amazing mentors and through great connectivity, within the world, I became stronger from CarryMinati's rise to MortaL's love.

How do you see yourself in this season ahead?
This season I expect and hope the best for everyone from my choice to pursue wins and growth to the community's strength to keep expanding and giving their best as I will also.
