Professionally Awesome

I'm thinking about starting up an article here maybe once a week to reflect on writing for a gaming company as opposed to self-sustained writing. I can definitely tell you that I can't talk about ***** as much as I'd like to. More on that later.

Anywho, this week's article isn't so groundbreaking, but I'm not a groundbreaking kind of guy.

OK!?

Depending on where you live and where you come from, you’ve probably heard of the growing community of MANABUUURRRRNNN professional e-gamers; cyber athletes who rake in the cash by playing the games that they love (or end up hating because they play them so much). I say depending on where you live and where you come from in this case because if we imagine that you hail from, say, Korea, the country that invented the “I-can’t-see-your-fingers-they-are-moving-too-fast” syndrome and the ailment known as “I-can-micromanage-better-than-a-computer-itis”, then you’re probably more than well aware of what I’m talking about. If, on the other hand, you’ve just emerged from your rock, blinking and confused at this internet substance, then I’m willing to bet that video game athletes aren’t something that you saw coming. Either way, this article is not aimed at discussing the growing market that comes from professional FPS or RTS gaming. Rather, it is aimed at the new, acronym-awkward professional MMO PVP athlete (I might as well just say World of Warcraft e-athlete). In particular, this article is aimed towards answering the real question: is MMO PVP a viable path in e-athleticism. . . . .
