He began to engage in computer simulators not for fun. For himself, he decided that he did not want to stay just at the amateur level - for him it was a serious occupation in which he continued to develop. Over time, the hobby grew into something more and led to fame - a simple guy Alan Enileev became a professional cybersportsman of the world level. How did he become famous? Thanks to perseverance, work and … of course, faith in your dream.
Let's talk about what eSports is. Esports are gaming competitions, they only happen in the virtual world. Using computer technology, a virtual space is simulated in which players compete with each other.
Esports is spread all over the world, but the first country that recognized these virtual competitions as an official sport was Russia. Five years later, in 2006, e-sports was excluded from the register in which it had previously been entered. This happened due to the fact that e-sports was recognized as inappropriate to certain criteria by which it could continue to be considered a sport.
For some time, e-sports even had an analogue of the Olympics - World Cyber Games, now this championship no longer exists. However, other major competitions are being held, gathering thousands of participants.
Dream - Motorsport
In school years, he, like most boys, dreamed of getting into motorsport and driving cars. But at the same time, he already then understood that this was a very expensive sport, which required large investments, and he had no opportunities for this.
For the first time he sat behind the wheel of a virtual machine at age 12. Alan could then train only on a car simulator, and participation in real races seemed a pipe dream.
Alan Enileev recalls how his father bought a expensive steering wheel for a car simulator as a gift - then it seemed to him the ultimate dream. There were no funds to seriously engage in motorsport at that time, and for a while he replaced real races with virtual ones. Alan did not think that soon his passion for cars would nevertheless lead him to his cherished dream.
Only after a time when Alan became known as a virtual racer, he mastered a real car.
Alan Enileev is a member of the Boyko Racing racing team, the same one that they organized together with the famous racer Alexander Boyko, but we'll talk about this a bit later.
Summer 2006
Alan decided to reach a new level and take part in the championships - this happened in 2006. At that time he managed to win one game after another. Luck was on his side.
When he joined the USSR Team, preparations for the WCG began. The venue for the championship was the Formula 1 circuit, located near Milan. Soon, Alan was lucky to win the qualifying Russian stage for the World Cup.
Competitions were then held at the Italian circuit Monza, they were attended by representatives of 75 countries. The fight was difficult, but still in that world-class game he won.

Achievements and rewards
In e-sports, he brought Russia the first gold medal and was inscribed in the country's sports history as a high-level e-sportsman. So, one could say his dream came true. He was able to partially realize his cherished desire to be involved in motorsport, but still wanted something more than just being a virtual racer.
In 2006, he was the CIS champion in the ASUS Open championship, in the same year he was the Moscow champion in the World Cyber Games Russia, as well as the Russian champion in the WCG version, the world champion in the WCG Grand Final, and in 2007 he was the vice champion CIS according to ASUS Open.

A year later, he failed to pass the qualifying stage. As Alan Enileev said, then he was condemned, but he did not become upset about this. Defeat opened the way for him to other possibilities. He leaves eSports and soon becomes a race car driver.

Thanks to cooperation with well-known magazines about tuning, he had the opportunity to get acquainted and communicate with famous racers. With one such departure, he met with the master of sports of international class - Boyko. They were able to find those who will finance their idea. This is where constant training began.

It turns out that he realized his dream both in reality and in the virtual world, becoming a professional racer.
Invitation to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Sochi

And already at the rehearsal, Alan Enileev learns that he will carry the Olympic flag along with famous people of Russia - then he was once again shocked by the unexpected proposal.
