The Beginning of the Journey: Love of Games from an Early Age

Muhammaad Snape Ridho is a name that is starting to become known in the competitive arena of PUBG Mobile Indonesia. Born and raised in the city of Makassar, South Sulawesi, Snape has shown great interest in the world of games since childhood. Starting from playing console and PC games at an internet cafe near his house, Snape's interest developed when he first learned about PUBG Mobile in 2018. At that time, PUBG Mobile had just been released and immediately stole his attention.

Snape played this game just for fun, but slowly he began to feel that there was something bigger than just competitive entertainment.

First Steps in a Competitive World

Snape started getting serious in 2019 when he formed a small community team called Phoenix Reign. Armed with enthusiasm and strong cooperation with their playing friends, they started taking part in local and online tournaments such as the PUBG Mobile Campus Championship (PMCC) and community scrims. Even though he experienced consecutive defeats, Snape used each defeat as a lesson.

His individual abilities as a fragger continue to develop, especially in terms of spray control and fast rotation. This is what made his name start to be noticed by several semi-pro teams.

Semi-Pro Stage: Early Recognition

His big opportunity came in early 2021 when Snape was recruited by semi-pro team Griffin United. With this team, Snape experienced the rigors of competition in the PMPL Qualifier tournament and several tier two tournaments. Even though he has not yet qualified for the PMPL, his consistent performance has made Snape increasingly well known among pro team observers and coaches.

He is known as a player who is disciplined, unselfish and adapts quickly. This advantage makes him trusted to be the in-game leader of his new team.

Turning Point: Joining a Professional Team

2022 was a turning point when he received an offer to join a big team: Red Vulture Esports, a professional team participating in PMPL ID. This is where Snape really stepped into the professional world. He admitted that he was nervous about facing big names like Luxxy, Zuxxy, and Ryzen, but he chose to use them as inspiration.

His debut season in PMPL was not easy. His team only finished in mid-table, but Snape's contribution was recognized by many parties. He was even nominated for Best Rookie Player in the local PUBGM community.

Career Peak: Being the Backbone of the Team

In 2023, Red Vulture successfully penetrated PMPL SEA. Snape was one of the key players with extraordinary clutch play at several important moments. He even recorded a 1v4 against a strong team from Thailand which went viral on social media. His popularity skyrocketed, and he began to be known as one of the rising stars of PUBG Mobile Southeast Asia.

Not only that, Snape is also trusted to be the brand ambassador for one of the local gaming gear brands. His career outside of gaming began to develop, but his main focus remained on performance in tournaments.

Personal Story: The Child Who Never Gives Up

Behind the scenes, Snape is known as a child who is very close to his mother. He once said that the only person who always believed in him was his mother, even when he decided to postpone college to pursue his dream in the world of gaming. "If it weren't for Mama, I probably would have stopped playing a long time ago," said Snape in an interview.

He also experienced difficult times when he experienced burnout and thought about retiring early. However, thanks to the support of his family and fans, he managed to get up and become stronger.

Snape also actively shares educational and motivational content on social media, especially for young players who want to enter the world of esports. He wants to show that games can be a way of life as long as they are pursued with discipline and hard work.

Closing: A Bright Future

Now, Snape is still an important part of Red Vulture Esports and is preparing for the 2025 season with great ambition. With the experience, hard work and dedication he has, it is not impossible that Snape will become one of the legends of PUBG Mobile Indonesia in the future.
