    In an interview, Jonathan exclusively shared his journey from being a casual gamer to one of India's top
    the professional player in BGMI.

    Since his childhood, he loved to play sports and was greatly fascinated by football. He has always
    faced ignorance since he was a child and was stopped from participating in sports. In school, it was said
    that he cannot play well. He was very disappointed and hurt as he wasn't allowed to follow his passion.
    Having gone through a lot of hardships and struggles, he realized his true potential when PUBG Mobile
    released in India. With the transformation, he underwent to become a 'good player', those who ignored
    Jonathan Amaral those days were very eager to include him in their team.

    Right from the beginning, he had a special interest in shooting games and he stated, "Shooting games
    is just love!" The first time he downloaded the game PUBG Mobile, the game mechanics attracted him
    a lot. The continuous negligence made him stubborn enough to achieve something great in this game,
    which made him decide to give it a try.

    He started playing classic matches with his cousins, but gradually the overall environment of the game
    turned into an addiction for him. Having started playing custom rooms with his cousins, it's quite amusing
    how his cousins wanted him to play alone, while the rest formed a group in order to compete against
    him. That in itself was the first impression to the community as to how good a player Jonathan is.

    As we know that a plant requires both water and sunlight in order to grow into a tree, similarly in order
    to grow up and achieve something great in life, we too require both appreciation and criticism.

    Jonathan got criticized by people because he was excellent in playing Classic matches but had turned a
    blind eye towards his performance in customs. People believed that he will never be able to achieve
    something great, which made him feel really bad, but he decided to ignore them and kept chasing after
    his goals. He kept on progressing and in fact, he performed splendidly in the open tournaments where he
    single-handedly defeated numerous opponents simultaneously.

    Today, having reached the pinnacle of his career by competing against accomplished BGMI players in
    Tier-1 Esports, Jonathan is known for his clutches. In spite of having already displayed his potential,
    people refused to believe in his capability. People even accused him to be a hacker and complained to
    the officials to keep a constant vigil on his account. This negative backlash completely shattered his
    spirits, but he was so high-spirited that he took a look at the positivity in everything and overlooked the
    negativity in people's comments, and motivated himself by saying that he must be playing really well,
    which is why people have been trying to bring him down.

    As often happens to be the case with professional athletes, Jonathan also lost his track completely.
    Suddenly, one day a person appeared to him praising his gaming skills and performance, asking
    him to give it a try again, this time along with him. The person was none other than Ghatak, the owner of
    one of India's most famous Esports organizations of GodLike Esports. Being back with his old
    teammates, Jonathan once again began playing normal matches, and definitely lived up to his
    expectations. This time around, he was glad to have been able to shed all the negativity behind him, and
    with his new-formed team could discuss their mistakes in-game, and tried to not to repeat them in the
    future.

    Jonathan, when he got his first big break while playing PMGC for the first time, aged only 17 years, he
    received a lot of criticism from other players and the community as well, due to his inability to provide 
    good gameplay when it came to international standards. He used to think people were being honest in
    their opinion about him. He decided to take a break and used to spend time with himself in order to cope
    with the situation.

    Jonathan prioritized his passion more than anything and he believed in "Grind and Goal." He desired to
    be at the top of this game and never thought of making it his career. His parents supported him
    throughout his journey.

    He never used to practice before the match and has always played with a free mind without any worries and
    just keeping one thing in mind that you have to dominate in the game. He learned from his own mistakes
    and watched his overall performance after each match.

    Jonathan's dream has finally come true after a lot of struggle and torment he has faced throughout his
    life and his confidence has made him the best of all. He ended the interview with the last few words that
    would definitely inspire you as a player, "I'm here for the crown, and you know who the king is!"

    Jonathan advises people in general and those who are watching the video that nowadays being an
    Esports Player is quite difficult as there's a lot of competition. If your parents aren't providing you enough
    support then Jonathan asked the players to make their parents aware of the importance of Esports. He
    asked them to show their parents the streams of the top Esports players and their successful careers.

    The way Jonathan has achieved his dreams, even you can do so with your hard work and dedication.
    Most importantly, you should know to grind. If you aspire high, even you can reach where he is today.
    Just stay contented and focused on your goals, and never stop yourself from working hard. We all know
    that hard work truly conquers and while talking about finding success in BGMI, who can be a better
    example than Jonathan himself ??
