That sucks you had to stop playing ball because them injuries.Hey what up RIU community,
The reason I felt so inclined to post a thread like this is because I know most people appreciate how damn fun video games are well stoned off your ass. So I started playing Call of Duty first when World at War(5) came out, howver, I rarley played. The next year however, I injured my shoulder severly and was told by my doctor I would not be able to play football (I was grabage anyway) and Basketball (was hoping to play in college) normally for at least 2 years (a year later a bad fall would end the possiblity of ever having a full recovery) Just prior to my reinjury I discovered gambattles, which is an organiazed site through which one can play against other high level gamers. This for me, replaced the intensity and fueled my competive nature the way sports used to. When Modern Warfare 2 came out I became very good at it.
At this point I was constantly playing on gamebattles as well as participating in local live tournaments with some buddies that Ive know for ages (grade 3 to be exact) With my teams contiuning success we began to attend MLG semi-pro events and play tournaments with the elite players on gamebattles. Major Leauge Gaming (MLG) created the gamebattles website in order to have a pool of gamers to pick from while sponsering pros. At this point I became very curious with professional gaming and frustrated by the varrying figures when googling " How much does an MLG player make?" Shortly after MLG realeased its own internaet channel with literally thousands of stored videos they had. Among them was a show called Pro player feauture which gave a bio on any given pro gamer. TSquared (Halo 3) , who, from what I saw is the highest paid gamer (or at least was) admitted in his interview to making approx. 3 million per year total off his MLG contract and all his sponserships. When I heard this figure I decided professional gaming may actually be an option, although, I had met Call of Duty pros and was aware your average cod pro makes substatially less than a halo pro(between 50-150k yearly).With Black Ops just relased this figure is bound to rise, that isof course, only if MLG deicdes it will pick up Black Ops. Now that those of you without information about competitive/pro gaming have the low down and I've rambled for years I have some questions for the community.
First of all, Are any of you gamers bored of the low level of competiton in regular multiplayer games? If so you should deifnitly gives www.gamebattles.com a try, it's very fun I garuntee(warning: highly addictive, haha, a site you could end up browsing for hours) Next question is, what do you guys think, serious gamers and people who play once a year, is watching talented gamers live exciting? MLG owner says that he beleives MLG will be as big as the popular sports leauges(NFL, NBA) during his lifetime, I personally disagree, what do you guys think? I honestly think that nothing can replace humans out on a feild, court, ect., busting thier asses to entertain and please thier fans. Lemme know what you guys think.
Thanks for reading.
hahaha thats way too funny. And yea man they have a huge amount of people playing madden. Hahaha im sure yur fuckin sick man, I have faith that pot heads are the best gamers;PThat sucks you had to stop playing ball because them injuries.
I dont think it would ever end up being bigger then real sports either.
I might check that site out.Do they got a spot for madden?
I got pretty good at it when I was on house arrest last year.I can atleast bust all my friends ass in it lol.
It's fun to get drunk,light up some green and bet your friends in madden or fight night lol.
I would always lose the first game then run it back for triple and win lol.I got so much weed and money doing this lmfao.Then they finally caught on.
