StarCraft II Gamer Receives US Pro-Athlete Visa
dotarray writes "The world's first professional StarCraft II gamer has been granted a five-year pro athlete visa for the United States, making Kim 'viOLet' Dong Hwan the first of his kind. viOLet was one of the first gamers to apply for the P-1A visa when they were introduced in July. The new paperwork doesn't mean that he can live permanently in the U.S., but it does mean he'll be treated like other (more traditional) athletes, able to easily enter the country temporarily to participate in tournaments."
LOL EVERYONE WHO PLAYS VIDEO GAMES IS FAT LOL AND EATS DO RIDE LOL
The guy looks to be in damn good shape, better shape than most Americans. He gets paid to smash letters on a keyboard just like a huge employment sector already has been for decades. Just because it can be more enjoyable means it needs a stigma attached to it?
Perhaps the envy will wear off of you one day.
Diving a car is a risk factor for obesity; professional race drivers are not obese.
No kidding!!! What do you say at this point?
Ah Ackbar, the true hero to end the empire.
Unlike Luke, who abandon his post and joined with the enemy.
Or Solo and Lieha who, just barely achieved their mission by turning a cloak and dagger mission to a full frontal assault, killing many civilians.
Ackbar, caught the trap quickly and professionally organized his troops to hold the line until he had the tactical advantage.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
