These days, many PC and mobile games are produced. As many games are developed, the number of pro gamers is increasing. People usually think that a job of a pro gamer is just to play games, but it is not like that. A process to become a pro gamer requires lots of things.

▲ Pro gamers compete at many competitions.

Pro gamers play at many professional game competitions and practice playing games. They use computers to play games, so need to play using a computer effectively. They spend much time in front of a computer, so they need lots of patience, too. They also need to design strategies to play games effectively.

The advantage of pro gamers is that they get a big salary every year. For example, Ryujehong of Seoul Dynasty Overwatch team gets at least fifty thousand dollars every year, Also, they become famous if they win at the World Cup.

However, the life of pro gamers does not sound great. Many children think that they always play games, but they do not. They practice a lot. They wake up at 7 a.m and practice until they sleep. The trainees practice to play games 20 hours a day, and many pro gamers are under 30 years old, so we have to think about what to do after we retire, too.

The effect, an Overwatch player of team Dallas Fuel, said that when he was young, he wanted to be a pro gamer. So, he just concentrated on playing games. He slept at school and played games all day after school. He even practices more these days. He plays rhythm punch for two hours to make his fingers fast, and he plays Aimbot for one hour every day. Life of a pro gamer is not enjoyable as what people think.

It is good to be a pro gamer if you want. However, it is not easy. You have to be responsible and practice a lot. You should think about your future, too.
