Aurora Gaming star Renejay has made full use of his talents in Mobile Legends, using the game to elevate his family from hardship.
‘Kaka-cellphone mo ‘yan’ is the perfect way to describe Renejay’s incredible Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) journey.
Playing MLBB might have once seemed like just a pastime, but excelling at Mobile Legends and became the key to upgrading Renejay’s life and lifting his family out of hardship.
“Actually, sobrang laki ng naitulong sa akin ng ML kasi maraming nabago sa buhay ko, kumbaga iba na talaga ‘yung estado niya,” the Aurora Gaming star shared with One Sports.
Growing up with a life where daily survival was the focus, Renejay described how his family lived hand-to-mouth.
But everything changed when he turned his gaming hobby into a profession.
“Hindi na siya katulad dati na isang kahig, isang tuka. Parang ganyan, ngayon kasi iba na talaga, nabibilii ko na lahat ng gusto ko,” Renejay added, acknowledging his hard work throughout his career.
Renejay is not one to keep score about the amount of times he’s helped his parents as a ML star. But when asked about the biggest help he’s given them, he was quick to answer.
“Hindi ko sure kasi hindi ko talaga siya bininilang, kumbaga kung ano lang talaga ‘yung mga needs, 'yung mga sasakyan yan,” he said, downplaying his contributions with humility.
Yet, Renejay dreams of doing even more for his family.
“Soon, bahay pag nag-champion sa M6,” Renejay hinted, adding motivation to his world title chase.
For Renejay, MLBB was more than just a game as it had its purpose—to help his parents has always been the goal.
“'Yun ‘yung pinaka-first na purpose ko kung bakit ako pumasok sa paglalaro, or kung bakit gusto ko gumaling, and kung ano 'yung nagmomotivate sakin everyday, syempre tulungan parin talaga 'yung parents ko."
