🖐🏻 Hi everyone, I'm Doğukan. I was born in a small town in Türkiye (you've probably never heard of my town, even if I tell you its name :D). My gaming passion began in 2006 when I first encountered computers and the internet. Despite the prevailing sentiment that these pursuits were frivolous, my passion for gaming only grew stronger. By 2012, I had immersed myself in Counter-Strike esports, beginning my journey into this vibrant and challenging industry. I want to share a story that is very close to my heart – the journey of GG Esports Media – a project born out of passion and perseverance in the face of immense challenges. Four years ago, with nothing but a dream and an unwavering love for esports, I founded GG Esports Media in Turkey. What began as a modest venture quickly turned into a mission to create the largest esports platform and media outlet in the country. However, the path was anything but easy. In the beginning, we were a small team of enthusiasts working tirelessly around the clock. We faced countless obstacles – from financial constraints that threatened to shut us down to the daunting task of making a name for ourselves in an industry dominated by big players. There were moments when it felt like the odds were stacked against us, but giving up was never an option. When the financial challenges became insurmountable, we had to close our website a year ago, and the team went their separate ways. But even then, I couldn’t let go of the vision. I decided to continue GG Esports Media alone, pouring every bit of my energy and resources into our Instagram presence. It was a daunting task – creating news, statistics, content designs, and engaging reels single-handedly, all while battling the reality of limited funds. Despite the hardships, my determination never wavered. I believed in the potential of GG Esports Media, and slowly but surely, we began to see the fruits of our labor. Our Instagram account started gaining traction, and soon, we became Turkey's most-followed and interacted esports media platform on Instagram. We even earned a meta-verified blue tick, a testament to our growing influence. Our journey is far from over. I have visions and ideas that expand my horizons, such as organizing esports tournaments under the umbrella of GG Esports Media and establishing an academy to nurture young and talented players. ⚡ The future holds endless possibilities and I am more determined than ever to realize our vision. #Gaming #Esports #Media #ContentCreation #Passion #Journey
