Brief Introduction
A guide of insights, inspiration, advice and tools to gain a concrete vision of what it means to become a pro gamer.Description
The most important moment in a pro eSports gamer's career is its initiation, how one makes the transition from being a hobby or amateur player to a dedicated, determined, hard working and winning professional. This transition is also the hardest stage of any eSports gamers' career.
Long time Evil Geniuses StarCraft 2 gamer Chris "Huk" Loranger mentions his transition and the hard work involved in pro gaming (from the article, "Chris 'Huk' Loranger Believes eSports Is A Lot Harder Than People Think," GameSkinny.):
"I played StarCraft I and other videogames for a long period of time, but after high school I wasn't sure what to do with my life basically. I was going to join the US Military to help pay for school – and I didn't want to take out loans – one, because I didn't want to take out loans and two, because I didn't really know what I wanted to do anyway. So I was in the process of joining the military, I took the tests, I was on a waiting list, and StarCraft 2 came out. I was playing it for fun, and then I started doing good. I got an offer on a team for like $500 a month, and they offered to fly me out to tournaments for three months. So I said, 'What the hell, I'm waiting anyway, I can do this.' And since then, I've gotten better and better deals, and now the military is something I obviously decided not to do.
It's a lot harder than most people realize. You've got to be hard working. You have to be able to take criticism, and be able to be humble. And then generally, you've got to be pretty dexterous and smart, I guess, in some ways."
