Gaming is big business. My son played for people. They didn't want to put in the work to level up so they paid him. They have some of the tournaments on ESPN. Good for them.

All 13 year old boys will print this article and hand to parents as validation to continue to game for 10 hours a day.

eSports is big business now and will continue to grow. My son is 25 years old, still enjoys gaming sporadically and says you can't believe how good these guys are that game daily online.

The problem lies with when they are in their mid 30's and still playing for that 1st million...that will never come. Get out of your mom's house!
