I would have loved to be a pro gamer – I’ve put in the time in my youth. My wife and I LAN almost every day – we’re doing Divinity at the moment, LANning LoL next weekend, did Diablo 3 to Paragon 555 in Jan this year. I’m currently doing the new NFS, playing Assassins Creed Black Flag again and still need to get to my Dragon Age 3 for the DLC I got with Origin Access. I see they are now introducing eSports as a school activity so maybe it can be a reality for my son in the next 15 years.
It is sad to see that you can have protea colours and yet not a badass sponsored rig. My PC at home is not the best but it is marginally better and still relevant to play everything at full HD. I do dream of 29″ gaming monitors, wireless 7.1 headsets, m2 drives, DDR4, etc.
If Corsair/Asus/Alienware etc. was sponsoring me I would make them a big list of “must have” components to ensure I play at my best.
I think the fact we South Africans play on average PCs with below average internet makes us to be more skilled because we need to compensate for performance and lag – running a game on 30fps with 700ms latency can really handicap you!
