MTV True Life: I\'m a professional gamer
They had another one of these again recently. They had one before where a bunch of kids were working at UPS or FedEx or something while playing video games during night.
This time they had a group of girls that went to France and won. This one chick from Alhambra I believe seemed pretty cute for a gamer. I don't know, just thought it was interesting. Being a pro gamer and all. |

Definitely a lot of kids' dream.
Then again, so is being a [cardgame] pro. Which is probably easier. |

[/ QUOTE ] I was reading that some kid (His handle is Fatal1ty I think) earned $100K last year playing video games professionally. He expected to rake in about $200K this year with sponsors. I agree that a game like poker is a far better profession since any and everybody plays poker, and they play it absolutely terribly. I love video games, but poker is a far more attractive way to make money and is far more competetive. |

Thresh of course is the poster boy for this. He parlayed his Quake mastery into a successful website, tons of endorsements, and into being a millionaire when he still looked like he probably wasn't even in puberty yet.
I was never a bully and can't stand them, but I joked to a friend once after seeing Thresh at E3 that he was so twerpy even I was half-tempted to punch him. My friend did not find this funny at all or forgive me for this remark. |
