Lola Gaming’s favorite heroes in the game are Angela, Khaleed, and Uranus. She finds a connection with Uranus, as she sees the tank hero as tough as herself.
Her journey into gaming began during the pandemic in 2020 when she noticed her grandchildren spending too much time playing Mobile Legends instead of helping with household chores. Curiosity got the better of her, and her grandson, Johnrey, taught her how to play. He even suggested broadcasting her gameplay on Facebook, which she agreed to.

Initially, Lola Gaming would spend up to 8 hours a day playing, but her grandchildren reminded her to take breaks. Now, she limits her playtime to 2-3 hours a day to take care of her eyes.
Playing Mobile Legends brings happiness to Lola Gaming, and she encourages people of her age to give it a try. She believes that video games can bring joy to older individuals as well.

Expressing her gratitude, Lola Gaming thanks Moonton, the creator of Mobile Legends, for bringing joy into her life. The game has become an integral part of her daily routine, bringing her happiness whenever she sits down to play and stream.
Overall, Lola Gaming’s story is a testament to the fact that age should not limit one’s passion for gaming. She is breaking stereotypes and inspiring others to pursue their interests, regardless of their age.
