– Member Korean Assembly meets Pakistani e-Gamer
Islamabad: Member of a visiting Korean Parliamentary delegation, Lee Sangheon held a meeting with renowned Pakistani e-gamer Bilal Ilya on Wednesday and presented fifty sets of ‘Make Stick Pro and Knee Level-I” kits to him to be distributed amongst other aspiring e-gamers of Pakistan and to incentivize them towards honing their skills further with the right equipment and preparing themselves for international competitions.
The meeting took place in the backdrop of the Evolution Championship Series “Evo 2022” which is the largest and longest running fighting game tournaments in the world, and was held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On 8th August, 2022, in the final round of the Tekken, a street fight video game, an e-gamer from Pakistan Imran Khan came head to head for this championship trophy with Jae Min Bae of Korea. Despite the time difference between Las Vegas and Korea, hundreds of thousands of young Korean e-gamers tuned in to watch the spectacular match.
Noting the significance of e-gaming in both the countries, Lee Sangheon stated that he foresees great potential in further enhancing relationship between the two countries through the medium of e-gaming and offered to be the focal person for Korea. The Korean lawmaker promised to focus on the development and growth of e-gaming industry in Pakistan with the cooperation of young e-gamers such as Bilal Ilyas.
Bilal Ilyas, in his remarks, said there is no proper e-gaming infrastructure and official e-sports association present in Pakistan which can harness the e-gaming potential of the country. –PR
