Dirty South Soccer had a chance to sit down with Atlanta United’s eSports athlete Paulo Neto. In this interview, we will dive into Paulo’s background, what it’s like to compete in a big tournament and how he prepares, and how the growth of gaming and eSports has changed his life.
While globetrotting around the world playing Fifa against the best players in the world is undoubtedly an amazing life experience, it hasn’t come without hard work and the necessary results for Paulo.
After starting competition in local tournaments in his native Brazil, Neto rose up the ranks and began to compete in bigger and more competitive tournaments until 2019 when he competed in a global tournament in Atlanta and signed with Atlanta United in December of that year.
