I can understand watching tournaments, but Ali a has like 8 million viewers and he just shows a couple kills or a round or whatever


The prize pool for the largest Dota 2 tournament in the world last year was over 18 million.

Lmk when pro sports has a pot like that for a champion. :D

To play for money and actually do well you would need to play 10+ hours a day. It's a full time job.

Fighters make ridiculous money.

10 hours is on the money, most play 8 to 12 a day. I wish I could do that, but I'm no longer in denial that I'd ever be good enough to be pro at anything. Missed my window with halo 3 lol.

Yea I always thought I could be back around gears 1 and halo 2 in the early 2000s but it wasn't really anything big back then and my mom hated video games because she's a dumb cunt.

Then I played against some top guys and got raped and realized it would have never been anyway

E: but I'm seriously interested in what Cheesehead does. That shit is legit and I could easily see myself talking about video games on a stream like that

Casting is awesome. I just don't have the personality for it.

Sure you do! You're not retarded and you know video games! But I think the only way I could do it is with massive amounts of mind altering substances.

It took a long time to create a following and a body of work before getting connected with the right people to cover sponsored pro tournaments. Was worth it, I think though, since even on smaller streaming sites like Hitbox and Azubu I can still draw 1500+ viewers for tier-2 matchups

Dang, if you're getting 1500 on Azubu/Hitbox, you must be really good. What's the next event you're casting / what's the link to your stream?
