Things You鈥檒l Need:



* Good Hand 2 Eye Coordination

* Natural Ability at Gaming

* TONS of Time to Practice

* Money to Spend on Travel and Food





Step1

To find a list of games you can compete at for a contract go to www.thecgs.com or if you want compete independently www.worldcybergames.com is the place to go. These are basically considered the big leagues.



Step2

To start you should choose a game you enjoy playing because what is the point in being a professional at it if you don't enjoy playing it.



Step3

Once you have chosen a game listed on one of the sites you should begin practicing for several hours a day minimum online or Xbox Live, etc depending on your platform. If you don't have that kind of time to devote to your game, you most likely will never reach professional caliber. If you have chosen a team game like Counter Strike, you should meet with your team everyday and practice, work on strategies and such. It is also recommended you do research for strategies on the internet and is a good idea to join several popular forums having to do with your game.



Step4

After you have practiced for a minimum of several months on your strict training schedule, it is time to test the waters. You should try to find a local competition, but if they are none in your area you can just go ahead and signup for the preliminaries for the Championship Gaming Series and/or the World Cyber Games closest to your area. This can be done on their websites



Step5

They will get back in touch with you and provide you with the necessary information and in some cases documents you may have to fill out and return.



Step6

Time to compete. Please remember it is only game so don't take it too personal if you lose. There will ALWAYS be more chances in the future. You should also remember good gamer etiquette if you go to a competition especially if you are on camera. It is fine to talk a little trash, but you should not swear on camera because a large percentage of the audience are kids and this is also frowned upon by producers and will most likely cut down your camera time.



Step7

Now if you are trying to get a contract you just keep trying until you get into the nationals for the Championship Gaming Series. They will have a combine to display your skills and you must impress one of the General Managers there enough for them to draft you. You should get to know each of them and keep coming every year until you get drafted. Make sure you bring your A-Game because you are playing for contract worth $30,000 minimum and up to $100,000 after endorsements for ONLY 2 MONTHS OF WORK!!



Step8

If you are not trying to get a contract and are just doing World Cyber Games, you are going to have to keep trying until you beat nationals and then you will get to compete at the World level. They have a hefty amount of prize money the further you get up the ladder in this one, but I personally prefer the Championship Gaming Series."



so it looks like your gonna need 3 major things. Time, Money and of course SkillHow do i become a pro gamer?Good luck. Professional gamers have been playing (and practicing) games for YEARS and years. No offense, but you're only 13 - no matter how well you play, you haven't had nearly enough experience. Give it a few years and, if you're serious about going for a career in pro gaming, keep practicing. It's the only way to reach professional level.How do i become a pro gamer?probably the first thing you'll need to do is get noticed. This means playing on your console online all the time. Eventually you should play more and get better at it. This will take a long time because there are already people out there who are already really good and play all the time. If you manage to get good then hopefully someone will notice or talent or you could find someone and show them how good you are.



It all matters on gaming skill. If you can get good enough you can do it.
