Why aren't you making a living from playing vidya?

>dota 2
>csgo
>overwatch
>lol
>pubg
???

Because I never expected video games to start paying people stupidly large amounts of money like pro sports teams did.

Stupid me went and fell for the education ruse when I should've focused on gaming and tournament play.

>dota 2
MOBAs are shit

good game in the sense that chess is a good game, doesn't make it fun to play
>overwatch
astroturfed kiddie shooter

see DOTA
>pubg
intolerably shitty and unfun to play

Nice for them. I think it's pretty cool. I hope their parents don't fuck them over though.

>these kids just made more money than you'll make in your lifetime

Doesn't really matter, games are only this big now and your old arthritic ass would have no chance against today's 16 year old zoomers no matter how much you'd practiced.

Asian kids do stuff because their parents tell them too. White kids are usually lazy fucks but will do something if they want to. Fortnite is popular, so the white kids want to play it, so they get good and BTFO the yellow swarthoids

Looks like you named them, good job.

Because I don't want to waste my life grinding out a game that I cannot fucking stand only to get bodied without a single cent to show for it.

>10 y-o
>set for life
mane I hope their parents know how to invest

>get rekt by asians
>only good choice for 20+ yo boomers
>you have to be young & dedicated (also prizes aren't as big)
>get rekt by asians
>are there even tournaments???

cope

It would probably ruin my life and I'm a grown-ass man. Money changes those around you even if you yourself don't change.

Reminder there were adults that played and lost to these kids.

I'd rather be dead in a ditch than career any of these games.

Bugha about to win 3 mil ez, buy and sell all your sorry asses. Enjoy your weebshit and "niche" taste cause you can't git gud at a fucking kids game.

Top skill gap age for Fortnite is 14-18, anyone older is too old and their reaction time is to low. Meanwhile in CsGo.

Do you really need twitch skills to be good at Fortnite? I thought the most important skill was being able to fucking tolerate playing Fortnite for any length of time, which only underageb& have.

Is the kid on the left the one who's in those autistic dancing webms?

Of course you do, but the game is 10% shooting, the rest is filled with building, editing, zoning, positioning, and a bunch of other autistic stuff.

CSGO is the closest to a noble profession of those. The game has a good pedigree of pro gaming since before the zoomers took over.

Cute

cope

I wish i was them, imagine having 3 million before 18, you don't need to work or study ever and still be comfy

Literally the NEET dream

Maybe asian kids dont play That game for zoomer amerifats.

There are two bugmen in the top ten solo, no EU fags though.

Noble my ass. So many CSGO "pros" are cheaters themselves.

>sorry son about that championship money you won when you where 13
>your mother and i decided to blow it on our honeymoon and retirement home in Fiji, but we also bought you a new Xbox so remember that

>NOOO I"M NOT BAD THE KIDS ARE JUST UNFAIR!!!
AHAHAHAHA

they play fartnite instead of going to school, it was ruined long ago.

asians are only good at rts, mobas and fighting games
they've never been good at fps or tps

>surprise
>aimbots
>competitive
Fartnite is such a joke

Epic games actually has it in their contracts that make it so parents have no access to the prize pool money.
I am just writing what I am physically seeing right now in the Solo Finals. so ALL CAPS HAHAH EPIC WIN somewhere else zoomer faggots. I dont ever play this game but it is interesting to watch.

You can relish in the knowledge that their parents will steal it and use it on retarded shit like cars and vacations and if they don't, the kids will. There are countless of examples of white trash lottery winners going back to the poorhouse in a year.

That's right

I make a living with a patreon porn game with trickle updates (at the rate im going it'll be done in 2025 or something). Patreon money keeps growing every release too, it's the perfect scam. I literally work like 7-10 days a month on it.

What is this kid thinking right now?

Reminder that Yea Forums mocked MLG Halo hardcore gaymurs like Ninja for playing FPS competitively, now they all jealously envy Ninja.

The future is fortnite

imagine playing a game for kids

No one gives a shit about Ninja and even Ninja's "fans" make fun of that faggot.
This kids family is pure.

Pic is misleading, Americans suck at esports so obviously Europeans won.

All video games are for kids.
Get the fuck over it.

Taxes are gonna fuck em in the butt and its gonna be hilarious.
also I do make a living playing vidya, but not through competing.

literally stan and cartman

How come ninja didn't win, was there an age limit to this tourney?

Hopefully this will be my reality within the week. I lucked out and snagged a spot in a 10-man tryout tomorrow for a burgeoning Esports league in Vegas. Top 2 contenders get a cash prize and go on to play full time in the league for very nice pay, obviously this is a dream gig. The game is Tekken 7, I haven’t played Tekken since probably PS2, much more familiar with MK titles. Any tips on good noob characters that can be studied to a decent level of confidence in 24 hours? Or am I going to be facing humiliation at the hands of a 16 year old Korean autist? Cheers!

This. Kids are going to retire at 20 with arthritis

euros are really only better in CS:GO/Dota 2 which is pretty much dead at this point

Because you have to dedicate yourself to it for beyond normal work hours, learn to treat it more seriously than as entertainment, and push yourself to inhuman levels of reaction and speed through heavy Adderall intake for a chance to compete. After all that, you play the lottery on how high your personal skill ceiling is and most likely fail to make any money, leaving you with a subpar body, poor social skills, and perfectionist archetype disorders all for nothing.

This.

Parents taught me all the wrong shit on purpose.

>lol you won't have a calculator in your pocket. learn math rofl
>lol dude, just go to college and you'll have an awesome job lmao
>lol dude, video games are a complete waste of time, don't even bother kek
>lol like buy a car, everyone needs a car haha

Now I'm stuck in a boomer town rotting away. I should have just listened to myself

Psalm, who is currently #2 in Solo tournament, is 24.

Too bad that the parents had to co-sign the contract and us such these clauses rarely hold up until you can prove substantial abuse of funds.

>be kids
>no concept of what payroll/taxes are
>make $0/annually before tournament
>haha, instead of 3 MILLION DOLLARS, they only get 2 MILLION DOLLARS
what a huge fag you are. go outside. havesex

jokes on you, this applies to literally everything
the best money is in what people AREN'T doing at the time
nobody ever knows something will make money until it's already happened
there's always a gold rush happening

That's a very sweeping statement. Floyd Mayweather has the best defense in boxing, and he's pushing his 40's. I bet his reaction times are better than yours.

I'm not good at vidya. I'm statistically better than 90% of people but that's still in the absolute bottom of people who are actually good at the game. In order to be at the top, you not only need talent, but a mountain of hard work, good mindset and decent conditions in your life. In that vein, I'd rather play vidya for fun and do other stuff instead. I don't enjoy competition at all really.

Yeah in other esports like LoL gooks are the best, so not sure how that makes Americans not being bad in esports.

He is Asian, they stay 14-18 till they are 50.
The top 100 of the solo finals were 14-18, besides maybe 6 exceptions.

imagine caring

Taxes are gonna fuck em in the butt
oh nooo no no no that 3 million is actually 1.5 million!
the absolute state of people under 18 that have more than 1000 dollars to their name!
even if they got literally half of what the won, they'd still be better off than more than half the country

what the fuck is even happening in this pic

...Because I'm not very good at games, user.

Because Fighting games arent at the point where you can reliably make a living competing even if you have a big sponsor yet

Cybersport wasn't a big thing during my prime days. And now I'm just too rusty for shit like this. There is no point to go full competitive if you're 20+. Won't get too far anyways.

exactly how you can have CSGO tournaments. Fortnite has the benefit of being more mechanically skill based

fuck off troll

because google already blacklisted me even though ive done nothing wrong, I was just picked by the AI to be a "bad person".

Probably played too many army games cuz GUNS R EVIL N BAD AND DEY MAKE U A NAZI

>itt seething wagies

It explains right in the OP image. "Surprise winners"

imagine getting butthurt over kids making more money than you will ever see in your life

fortnite has MILLIONS of players, and only 2 got that dosh.
living from vidya is not for everybody.

I'm bad at videogames

>2nd place used aim assist
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Fuck off Tim.

I have no clue about Fortnite but even the commentators mentioned multiple times how lucky the winner was in regards to his position on the map and the circle.
I can understand how counterstrike is a competitive game but fortnite with random drops and positioning?

>former heroes of the storm pro gets second place
kinda happy for him because he is a nice down to earth guy who likes to play vidya and trains smart. used to hang out in voice chat with him before he went full pro with no time anymore.

>overwatch
>not intolerably shitty and unfun to play
lol user you're a fucking faggot

Asains are good at RTS, MOBAs, etc.
Euros have always been better at FPS/TPS
Americans are smelly autists who are only good at fighting games

user.

That kid and his family looked pretty genuine.

Because I'd rather die than play bing bing wahoo for a living.

Because I'm a fucking loser.

>using that pussy as an example
Kek

>bing bing wahoo
this is slang for nintendo games you stupid nigger

because i dont need to make a living.

It's called gaming, grandpa. Get with the times.

>a measly 3 million
>set for life
lol

Tim has to PAY people to play his games!?!
How low can these people go

nigga you can be set with 100k if you know where to invest and where/how to live

Better that they win and not some e celeb faggot.

>Literally bigger prizepool tha memenite
>Dead

might as well roll out a tombola in the middle of the arena and start pulling names, "grats you won 3 mil" ... but that's not entertaining, better have kids have a heated gamer moment for a while in a stupid game

To be fair you do need a car. I live in a community with 0 public transportation and i aint paying for an uber evert day to work.

Labrynth of autism.

Your american is showing.

no idea. Probably some minecraft tower building thingie with TF2 cartoon characters shooting rainbow fart guns at each other. Lets just go back to PS2 singleplayer games. I feel like getting CUUURRAZZY in DMC3 user. Lil' bitches never appreciate a good singleplayer experience.

Bc that would require me to socialize and see how shit how i am compared to others

You're trying too hard to fit in.

wow tfue and cloak really fell off after being drama fags

Their parents must be so proud.

I mean they most definitely are

Not everyone is willing to live extremely frugally.

no one cares about balance
people only care how many people will play

this is why you don't make games for the "competitive" market

Call me a dumb wagie, but I feel like turning certain hobbies like this into your main source of income ruins the hobby ultimately.
I mean maybe not for these kids right now, but down the line.

That's true but if you make that much bank it's worth it. The vast, vast majority won't obviously so it's really not worth the risk.

Played Dota for 3500 hours and he's pretty much spot on.

It's just a videogame, you can easily find a different one or a new hobby.

Regardless, I used to watch tons of competitive Dota and it's so much different than regular pub matches it's barely the same game.

Watching comp Dota got me out of playing that shit since pub games were so fucking bad compared to pro games.

Yeah it got to the point where I would just rather watch than play. You'd have a fun game every now and then but it would take 10 shitty games first.

He beat MP.

underaged b&

If luck mattered, the same people wouldn't constantly be the top players of these apparent 'lucky' games. Same for poker or similar.
