Hehe. Harsh words, but true, most likely. Or you would be a colleague of Moon by now ;)

Man, that's the dream. It's amazing how differently professional gamers are perceived in the east.

Some even have models as girlfriends.

The gamers don't really look like your stereotypical gamer, though. They actually have to stay somewhat physically fit in order to have fast reactions.

There are actually pro gamers from all over the world. the thing is, most likely you're already in your 20's and a bit too late for professional gaming. You literary need 10-16 hours a day worth of just *gaming* to reach or keep that skill level.

Yeah, it's a commitment. If I'd stop playing Team Fortress 2 for a week and come back, I'll suck ***! There are only a few games I've truly mastered and even then I'm no match for pro's... I guess.

That would be over 100 000 Swedish Krona per month for just playing games 8 hours a day.

But meh, the boy needs it, he's not pretty!

I wish I could figure out how to spend only eight hours playing a game to make enough money to live! Do these guys get sponsorship too?

Besides free lodging, food and limo everywhere they want, this is "all" they get...

Again, he's the second highest paid, so it doesn't get better than this. I mean athletes can get more.
