KT Rolster’s midlaner, Gwak “Bdd” Bo-seong, has a lot to be thankful for when it comes to his friends. Bdd, who is currently in his 7th year of his career, has consistently been one of the top mid laners in the LCK. He has even won two LCK titles during the Summer 2017 and Spring 2018 seasons, where he was also crowned the regular season MVP.
A Promising Regular Season
This year, Bdd showed a return to form during the regular season, particularly in the Summer split where KT Rolster secured the top spot. They outperformed powerhouse teams like Gen.G and T1. Despite their success in the regular season, they faced setbacks in the playoffs, finishing third in both splits. They narrowly avoided elimination in the knockout stages, enduring two losses in the Swiss format, but ultimately triumphed over Dplus KIA.
The Origins of Bdd’s Esports Journey
Bdd traces the origins of his esports journey back to his childhood. He always had a passion for playing video games, and when his friends started playing League of Legends, he decided to give it a try. Despite starting later than his friends, Bdd quickly surpassed them in terms of skill and even started encountering professional players in his ranked games.
It was during these matches with the pros that Bdd began to consider the possibility of a career in esports. He realized that he had a unique talent for the game and a chance to pursue his passion on a professional level.
Ghost’s Role in Bdd’s Esports Career
Bdd’s entry into the competitive scene can be attributed to Jang “Ghost” Yong-jun, a former Worlds champion and a close acquaintance at the time. Ghost invited Bdd to participate in a tournament organized by CJ Entertainment, which turned out to be a pivotal moment in Bdd’s career. The top-performing teams in the tournament were given the opportunity to train under CJ Entertainment, and Bdd seized this chance.
By the time he was in his third year of middle school, Bdd had embarked on his path towards professional gaming. He made his debut in 2016, playing for CJ Entus. Bdd revealed that his family initially had reservations about his professional aspirations but became fully supportive as he started winning tournaments.
Bdd’s parents took an uncharacteristic stance, especially in an Asian context, as they never pressured him to pursue traditional academic or career paths. Instead, they embraced his passion for gaming and supported his goals.
A Non-Traditional Journey
Compared to his peers who were fiercely competing for spots in top universities, Bdd’s esports journey might seem unconventional. However, he has grown and learned a lot throughout his career. His LCK debut marked a significant turning point, where he saw a noticeable difference in the level of play and experienced personal growth.
Bdd reflected on his growth and said, “Initially, I was frustrated, feeling like I wasn’t progressing. But after my LCK debut, I recognized a stark difference in the levels of play and I learned a lot. Through my own efforts, I saw significant growth in myself, and that was one of the happiest moments of my career.”
Bdd’s journey is a testament to the importance of good friends and seizing opportunities when they arise. His story is an inspiration for aspiring esports players.
