Ben ‘Brig’ Brigdale Shares Pro Gaming Insights and Meeting David Beckham

Ever wondered about the dedication required to become a professional gamer? Ben ‘Brig’ Brigdale, an 18-year-old player for Guild Academy Esports, sheds light on the daily practice regimen, the importance of fast internet, and the surreal experience of meeting football legend David Beckham.

As part of Guild Esports’ partnership with Sky Broadband, Brigdale met Beckham, who gifted him Sky Full Fibre broadband to enhance his professional gaming journey. This collaboration is featured in Sky Broadband’s three-part series, “Path to Pro,” available on YouTube. The series follows Ben, Ruby, and Suleymon as they pursue their paths to becoming professional gamers.

Brigdale emphasizes the critical role of reliable internet in gaming, describing weak connections as a “nightmare.” Unlike traditional broadband, Sky Full Fibre delivers faster and more stable connectivity with a direct fiber cable to homes.

Expressing gratitude for the upgraded broadband, Brigdale acknowledges the impact of strong internet on his intensive training schedule. Practicing EA Sports’ FC 24 (formerly FIFA) for up to five hours a day, he stresses the need for a robust connection to navigate the competitive gaming landscape.

Brigdale’s journey to professional gaming began with family competitions against his brother and father. Now, supported by Guild Esports and enhanced internet, he aspires to elevate his skills to new heights.

Reflecting on the mental skills required for success, Brigdale draws parallels with his experience in cricket. Patience, composure, and adaptability are crucial attributes for competitive gaming, mirroring the challenges of the sport he enjoys.

Gaming has not only honed Brigdale’s skills but also expanded his social circle and boosted his confidence in everyday life. Meeting David Beckham, a football icon, was a surreal experience for Brigdale, who expressed disbelief and gratitude for the opportunity to discuss his gaming journey with the legendary athlete.

As Brigdale continues his quest to become a top-tier gamer, the combination of dedicated practice, reliable internet, and supportive partnerships positions him for success in the ever-evolving world of esports.
