I’ve been working on this story for a while, The idea originally came when an e-sports team admitted to using adderall to win a tournament. I thought it would be interesting to be a person on that team who did not want to cheat.

I am also interested in the use of video games as a coping method and pseudo-therapy and wanted to explore that.

This story will focus on the main character making friends through his favourite game, creating his own support system using it, and those friends will take him into the competitive e-sports scene.

There will be a balance of the characters life; meeting new friends, honing his skills, dealing with agents and sponsors, and the stress of competing at a high level. How his hobby becomes his life, and how that helps him (or not) with his personal problems.

But at the core this book will be about the game, and winning at it, not matter the cost.

I hope you find this interesting.
