About Addict Gaming
Your ultimate source for competitive gaming, esports news, and in-depth guides.
Hi! I'm playforpride (Dota 2 player since 2015) 👋
I am the founder and lead editor behind Addict Gaming. Whether you're looking for the latest Dota 2 patch analysis, rumors about upcoming AAA titles, or tips to climb the MMR ladder, I built this space for hardcore gamers like you.
Why I Started This Site
Addict Gaming was born out of pure passion for the esports scene. A few years ago, I realized it was incredibly difficult to find reliable, unbiased, and deep-dive content about the games I loved.
I wanted to create a solution: a lightning-fast, beautifully designed, and community-driven hub where players could get their daily dose of gaming news without the fluff.
Why You Can Trust Our Coverage
As a veteran gamer, I don't just regurgitate press releases—I play the games and analyze the metas.
- Esports Expertise: With years of experience following the Dota 2 Pro Circuit and The International, our analyses are built on deep game knowledge.
- Quality Over Clickbait: Every article, rumor, and guide on this site is rigorously researched and verified before publishing.
- Community First: We listen to our readers. Our content is tailored to what hardcore gamers actually care about.
The Gamer Behind the Screen
I am currently based in the beautiful coastal city of Da Nang, Vietnam 🌴.
When I am not grinding ranked matches or writing up the latest patch notes, you can usually find me:
- Sipping on traditional Vietnamese iced coffee (Cà phê sữa đá) at a local cafe.
- Enjoying evening walks along My Khe beach to reset after a bad losing streak.
- Testing out the newest indie games and hardware releases.

I love hearing from the gaming community! If you have a suggestion for an article, found a bug on the site, or just want to talk about the current meta, my inbox is always open.
