From travelling alone at 11 to e-sports glory: uHigh's journey
JASIN: Travelling alone at the age of 11 to pursue his passion for competitive gaming, Serkam-born Dhiya Ulhaq Muhammad Arasz never imagined that he would one day compete on the international e-sports stage.
Dhiya Ulhaq Muhammad Arasz, known professionally as uHigh, started his e-sports journey at the age of 11 by travelling alone to pursue his passion for competitive gaming. Coming from a small town in Melaka, he had to travel across Malaysia to participate in tournaments due to the lack of local opportunities. Despite facing opposition from his father, who initially saw gaming as a mere hobby, Dhiya persisted in his pursuit of a career in the industry.
His breakthrough came when he joined international e-sports organization Team Secret. After a stint with an Indonesian team, Dhiya returned to Malaysia and established his own team. His father, initially skeptical, became his biggest supporter after witnessing his success. Dhiya's ultimate goal is to lead Malaysia to victory in a PUBG Mobile world championship, encouraging young gamers to remain dedicated and dream big.
