While the OP sucks, this topic is something I can relate to and I'm interested in...so I'll try breathe some life into it.

Players have been getting paid to game for years at the highest levels. I've played on a bunch of top teams and in professional settings, and the phenomenon is continually growing. Professional Computer Gaming is already huge in Asia, and I wouldn't be surprised if it became fairly big here too.

I'm talking spectator sport kind of huge. I can hope at least ;o
