Yes there are a few gamers making a living from pro-gaming while others are barely getting buy and being ripped off by team managers and sponsors. There are so many leagues now that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with them all, and each of them are claiming to be the best.

I really haven’t had much of a relationship with them for the past few years so this seemed like a good time to catch up. They have three Kids two boys and the oldest is a girl who is 5, that makes me an uncle three times over. Makes me feel old sometimes but I will be 25 in less than a month. Hard to believe I started gaming so so so long ago. Anyway during our dinner I found out that my brother in law had been bitten by the WoW bug. He went on and on about how much he loves to play WoW and how his co-workers at Home Depot got him into it (ages 30-55). I was blow away at how even today, years after World of Warcrafts release it can still pull in new players and get them so addicted. I have no interest in playing WoW but you have to respect a game that has such a large player base and is still growing years after it’s initial release. My brother in-law even went on to tell me about how my 5 year old neice will ask him to go play his game so she can watch. I guess even 5 year old little girls can love WoW…

    All I have to say is wow WoW, way to go! GG!World of Warcraft Logo
