SIGNED BY THE WOLVES<br />

BENJAMIN CREANOR<br />

Year 12 student Benjamin Creanor has been honing his <strong>online</strong><br />

gaming skills for some time now. This year all of his hard work and<br />

training paid off, as he won the championship final of the META<br />

High School E-sports competition, where he represented Damascus<br />

College in the NBA2K basketball game.<br />

In addition to this achievement, Ben was also signed this year by the<br />

LG Dire Wolves Professional Esports team and now has a manager.<br />

This is a true testament to Ben’s ability and tenacity to be the best he<br />

can be in his chosen passion.<br />

Ben said that being signed to the Wolves is a massive achievement<br />

for him: “It represents the effort I have put in over the years of playing<br />

the NBA2K franchise. Being signed enables me to become the<br />

best player that I could possibly be, whilst also growing my <strong>online</strong><br />

platform as well.”<br />

Next year Ben plans to study a Bachelor of Film at SAE Institute in<br />

South Melbourne.“I am hoping this will lead to a career in video<br />

post-production, however a career in gaming/content creation is not<br />

out of the question for my future.”<br />
