Not only is Luke fast on the virtual track, he says his career is moving at top speed too.
“I started driving with just a 100-pound steering wheel on my desk, and it was kind of fun,” he says.
It wasn't long before his fellow competitors noticed his potential and his parents helped buy him a better simulator.
“That’s when things really started to take off,” he says.
“I joined Team Redline and it has continued to grow ever since.”
He said esports tournaments are still “very niche and new.”
“With so much prize money and such a big competition underway, there aren't many stories of people making it to the end.”
In that sense, he is a pioneer, and acknowledges that the “future is somewhat uncertain” for esports champions.
