I won’t be very supprised if we see these boys hit much larger forms of press. To think: a professional team from good ol’ Kalispell Montana making a name for themselves in the world area of MLG.

I’ve played with these kids before. They’re mediocre at best. What they don’t tell you is how angry they get when they lose. I know for a fact that little Andrew kid has broken multiple controllers because his skill just wasn’t up to par with the people he plays against.

So is there actually a career here?

Yes, most definitely a career and can be a lucrative at that—no different than the professional card players, athletes, etc. Some move from being gamers to well-paid game developers and programmers.

No different than professional card players until the specific game dies out. But then I guess you can move to the next game in the series if there is one or a new game entirely. But I’ve seen these children play and these little guys will probably never even be a top 16 team in MLG. I guess that’s what you get for playing like garbage.

Andrew Gorton is nineteen and doesnt have a job. His mommy and daddy do everything for him. He doesnt even have a drivers license HAHAHA. Jesse and justin are just fat and have no future in store for them. And chad is just a scrawny ginger. None of them have ever had girlfriends either, what losers.

That’s unfortunate. Attitude is everything. Without a positive attitude and demeanor, no one wants to be around you. Success also will be limited.

Halo has never “died out” ever since it started MLG in 2002. Any other games can’t really be taken seriously since no one can get anywhere to support themselves in it.
