Hopefully she didn't tell to many embarrassing stories 🤦🏽♂️ https://t.co/5B9rwCxBeO— NYSL Attach (@Attach) May 10, 2020
MomAttach explained in the podcast when her son approached them initially about a career as a professional Call of Duty player, they weren’t supportive, especially his dad, who was the stricter parent. His parents would rather see him get good grades and go to college and get a degree. Making a career out of playing video games was still a strange idea at the time.

Back in the day, Dillion used to play baseball in junior high school. A friend of his in the school’s travel baseball team used to go to CoD LAN tournaments. Later, Attach also started going to the local matches. MomAttach would drive her son to those events, and on one such occasion, people approached her, claiming Attach was a natural talent and insanely good at Call of Duty. Dillon Price became a professional CoD player aged 17. Eventually, he started performing well, and his parents began noticing. The MLG X-Games in Austin, Texas, was the first event MomAttach attended where she met the likes of Seth “Scump” Abner and Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag.
Attach performed remarkably at the tournament going 12-0 on Search & Destroy. Rise Nation drafted him as #1. Finally, winning the Call of Duty World Championship with Denial in 2015, convinced his parents that a career in video games is indeed an option.
