Zerin Tasnim tells the story of her childhood as she goes on to reflect on the recent feat of our glorious women in eSports, leaving a mark within the gaming scene of Bangladesh
Back when I was a child, visits to my cousins’ homes consisted of me spending hours pressing the right-left-up-down keys with my little fingers on their computers – trying to drive my car through all obstacles on NFS; or ride away to win the race on Road Rash! Afterward, as I grew older and went deeper into gaming, I began visiting “gaming hubs” quite often to play video games with friends and other gaming enthusiasts.
These “gaming hubs” would regularly organize gaming competitions and tournaments in which the best players would participate. My team and I also made a place within the winner list a few times. Although these hubs got lost over time, many software companies started arranging such tournaments in Dhaka and other regions in Bangladesh.
As of now, Bangladeshi gamers are not only limited to these national borders but are also soaring to newer heights across international gaming platforms, as Bangladesh is hitting newer milestones within the eSports sphere.
And that brings me to the recent feat of the incredible all-female team that represented Bangladesh in the official esports tournament ‘Global Esports Games 2022’, competing at Dota 2. Let’s take a look at these incredible achievers within the country’s eSports sphere:
