I have a friend of mine named Jason, he's a pro gamer. Another friend Travis is known for his online competitions in Call of Duty. There are so many different ways to be a pro gamer, not just the high score. There are kills, shots on goal, and speed runs. This is what my friend Jason is known for. He does speed runs on Silent Hill series, and he just won a new contest 2 days ago for being the fastest. But did you realize that some gamers are even faster?
Another gamer managed to beat Super Mario Bros. in just four minutes and 54.565 seconds.
Niftski, who is known for speedrunning through games (kind of like my friend Jason I mentioned/Not his gamertag by the way), says “practice makes perfect.” “I spend at least 90% of my time practicing and 10% of my time doing speedruns.
This is how most people train for their speed sessions, and they play with other gamers around the world, at all hours of the day.
But Niftski said he's not going to be happy till he can shave .3 seconds off his time.
These guys can make a LOT of money, so before you give someone crap about playing video games all day/night, you might want to look up what a pro gamer can make.
