    so envious of pros. Not just being paid to play, but envious of being that good! Addiction is the right word though. CS is up there as a life long passion, along with Saints and getting ****ed up.

    Same for most sites on the internet recently, to be fair.

    ...and that's the end of Krueger's, I'd imagine.

    Being a pro gamer seems to be not that amazingly well paid for the amount of hours you put into it, although I suppose theoretically unlike football or cricket or whatever, anyone can be good enough if they put enough time into it. Maybe even myself.... On the other hand, I'm sure only like the top 20 or so make enough money to live off it.

    In other news,

    I'm undecided whether that's epic or a bit weird

    Should add for others that there is currently 66% off FM14 for anyone wishing to purchase via Steam over the Easter weekend. (£11.60 I think)

    Ha, mine gives an advantage of a couple of quid compared to that. I'm the man.

    The U18s are flying to France tomorrow for a tournament against 7 other sides. Tough being a footballer!

    Well a lot of it is about just pure practice but people are also just naturally predisposed to being better or worse at some video games. Also these days pro gamers can make stupid amounts of money, particularly from League of Legends and Dota 2 and the like, because not only are they playing in tournaments with hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of prize money but on top of that they can make loads of money from livestreaming with ad revenue and donations. I was watching a guy who was a borderline semi-pro/pro CS player who livestreams and he showed his list of top donators and there were 4 or 5 different people who had given him over $10000 each over an extended period of time just for him to give them shoutouts and occasionally play with them. And I believe the MOBA guys get even more than that.

    People with popular Youtube channels can make full time careers out of it. I'm talking several hundred thousand views a week, but there are quite a few living comfortably off it without doing another job.
