> Hello, I'm AlperenAoe. I'm a 22 years old Turkish AoE2/4 player. I was studying architecture at a university and working as an operations manager at a hotel. During the corona pandemic, I've started playing AoE2. I liked this game very much and I left my job in order to become a streamer and a professional player. Unfortunately, since I was streaming in Turkish, I didn't have enough support. I'm currently member of a small e-sports team. I have reached 2k2 ELO in a year.
> With the release of AoE4, I wanted to test myself all over again. I've reached the top 100 in AoE4, attended to tournaments. However, I couldn't earn a living from neither my streams nor the tournaments.
> After 5 months, I'm back at AoE2 again. I've reached 2k2 again and I decided that I don't want to play this game as a hobby, I want to do this professionally. I'm looking for a sponsor, I want to make my and my sponsors names heard in the tournaments. I have never been able to give myself 100% to the game due to financial problems. Furthermore, since I do not live in Turkey, the money I earned from my streams and tournament prizes in Turkish liras haven't been enough to secure my living. I'm currently spending my savings to be able to play and stream full time.
> I've been creating content on platforms such as Twitch and YouTube. I created many build order and educational videos in order to popularize and teach the game to the Turkish community. We've been organizing tournaments with small prize pools, allowing lower rated players to join and creating a sweet competetive environment.
> I'm looking for a person, company or organization that would like to sponsor me. Until I start earning money from tournaments, I need a sponsorship of something around $250-300 per month to make a living.
> Many thanks to anyone who took the time to read this and special thanks to those who supported me on this journey so far.
