Becoming a professional gamer

You have to love playing games, and you have to spend a lot of time playing them. The first thing to do is to decide what game you want to play as a professional. Then you have to spend as much time as possible playing it, and learning everything you can about it. It’s important to play the game against better players. You have to find out how they play differently from you. And you must practise by working hard on the things that are difficult for you. Also, don’t try to improve too many things all at the same time. But practising on your own will not be enough. Soon, you must join a group of gamers. It’s the only way to become a great player. Talking with others about how you play is really good for your game. Learn the rules of the group before you join – each group is different. Taking part in tournaments is important too, starting with small local tournaments. It’s a great way to see if you play well or not. Later, when you play better, you should enter bigger tournaments with more players taking part. Mark Durant, a professional gamer, says it’s very important to stay fit, too. Sitting at a screen all day is very bad for you. So last year while he was travelling to tournaments, he designed and made some exercise videos. Gamers can use them in their hotel rooms because there’s no time for doing fitness classes or other activities.
