How To Become A Pro Gamer
GameDailyBiz reports on what it takes to make it on the pro gaming circuit. From the article: "The simplest answer would be by getting good enough in their game of choice to attract the attention of others already playing the sport. While gaming is still not at the point where there is a vast network scouting talent and coaches turning players into champions, there are people looking for up-and-coming talent. Win enough and you'll attract their attention."
Can we please stop calling gamers althetes (or the execrable "cyber-athlete")? They're gamers. That's a good description.
If you're so dull that you actually need an analogy to understand what they're doing, you probably don't read anyhow.
Literalism isn't a form of humor, it's you being irritating.
