Rinie Ramli known as (Si_Jali) Secretary General of eSM , if you do not know Rinie was ranked 4th in the world in 2005 WCG of FIFA.

During the Press Conference one of the question asked caught my attention “Will gamers in Malaysia will given an official title of Athlete and treated as other professional gamers in other country” , Rinie answered the question confidently and said yes , but to achieve that the player/gamers must have a strong commitment to the community.

“one of the criteria to become a Professional Gamer is you need to be smart , if you cant balance between studies and gaming you will not become a Professional Gamer”, said Rinie Ramli . This is true, what Rinie mean if you just play games you will not achieve anything but just pure fun of playing games, to become a PRO in a certain game you need to study its mechanics its gamestyle and master it by learning every aspect of the game , so you can control the game not let the game control you.
