In Response To: Re: My Thoughts On Infinity Challenge (SonGoharotto)

: But your assertion that pro gamers have "an abundance of time" is
: inherently wrong.

: A professional gamer is a 'professional' because they spend their time
: practicing the player-to-player competitive aspect of a particular game,
: and as a result, have accumulated experience and skill to such a degree
: that a profit-generating business model can be built around the premise of
: other people watching pros play. That is how all professional sports work.

: Derek Jeter is a pro baseball player. He plays baseball to make money. He
: practices baseball to get better at baseball to make MORE money. He does
: NOT play baseball in his free time. He plays golf or goes to parties or
: whatever.

: To a pro gamer, playing the game is their job. They are working to make
: money. The time they spend working at their job is not time they can
: simply allot to doing something else, like entering a Forge contest.
: StrongSide (for example) might mess around with Forge in his free time,
: but he does NOT have MORE free time than anybody else just because his job
: happens to be "playing Halo."

This is ridiculous--we're not talking the daily habits of professional gamers and what contests they may or may not want to participate in.
