Mtv - Real Life "i'm A Pro Gamer" anyone catch the show

[atomicnacho 0]

MTV just ran a show about professional gamers. They followed three basic stories. A Smash player in NYC, a female Counter Strike team playing internationally, and a Halo team. It was pretty interesting.It really looks like professional gaming is really starting to take off. I think in the next few years it will start to be more main stream and get more and more TV airtime. ESPN already televisizes Eating competitions and Scrabble tourneyments, why not video games.What are everyone elses thoughts on the future of Pro Gaming?

I'd definately try and become a famous pro-gamer, being a teenager(13) I have many years left I hope on which I could practise to become a great vide game player, lol, so yeah I think it's a great idea of something that should take off.

pro gamers dont get paid much but just get sponsored. if you win tournies, endorsement. I wanted to go cpl (i went to cal-m and cal-i) for CS:S when I turn 18, but i got grounded for pretty much forever and I got other stuff to do. Professional gaming kind of sucks. You're going to get bored of the games before you get any good.
