Teamwork and Careers in Gaming

I was watching Major League Gaming (MLG) yesterday. I was impressed with the teams organization and their ability to work together towards a common goal, especially the tournament champions, Final Boss. The game they were playing was a first person shooter like BoB. I think it would be great if the creators of BoB could organise an arena or tournaments for team challenges. Perhaps something like cowboys against the showgirls.

The program yesterday also highlighted people who were playing in the tournament for whom gaming was their career (and quite a lucrative one at that!) It’s games like BoB that make it possible for people to realistically have a career in gaming or to game oneself through college! Just like us die hard gamers have always dreamed : )
