my brother was 'paid to game' for a while... sponsored by nvidia and other large companies to compete in online tournaments.

blizzard/vivendi interactive awards the best WoW players with a million+ in cash and prizes every year in arena tournaments.

the catch? you can have no. life. whatsoever. outside of your room or wherever your computer is.

its like 'going pro' in anything else. you don't do much else besides it. but its much more accessible to your average person than real sports.
