Stories of the bootcamp

PGF 2019 has always been packed with esports players and enthusiasts. But the recent Summer Assembly had a rare sighting: one of the Logitech G Bootcamp finalists brought his mom and the entire family to cheer him on.

Emma Alejandro, mom of one of Team Red’s players supported and cheered for her youngest son for moving to the next round of the boot camp.

“I raised my hands because they won the elimination round… It was his first time that he had the chance to compete,” she said, pointing out that the entire family has always been supportive of each other’s endeavors.

Emma shared that Alejandro is only allowed to play computer games once he’s done with household chores and his homework. When he’s on a game, she regularly checks on his son just to see if he has already eaten his meal.

“If he doesn’t follow my rules, he is grounded. But Gian always did his tasks and his

She was also encouraged to support her son’s gaming interests when she saw how he saves up his baon to purchase his Logitech products.

“I saw his initiative to improve his gaming lifestyle. Gian is also an honor student. He never neglected his studies. Of course, I will support him,” she said.

“What makes gaming different from the older generation’s activities? It’s not different from basketball or chess… If gaming is his inclination, why would I stop him? It is his source of happiness,” she said.

“Gaming brings joy to him. But it also trains him to improve your decision-making, reflexes, among others. It can also contribute to his academic activities as it hones his problem-solving skills. Since it is usually a group game, he can even enhance his leadership skills.”

Emma also shared that she supports her son in pursuing his dream of becoming a gaming streamer.

“I will really encourage him to pursue his next goal. I will support him to improve his confidence, personality, and abilities… For me, academics is not the only important thing in life. My son’s gaming interests matter, too,­­” Mrs. Alejandro said.
