So there's this kid who I've known for a couple of years now and he lives just right up the street, and he's one of the biggest WoW geeks around. Now I hate WoW, but this kid is SPONSORED for this shit. He's ranked 5th in 2v2 and 4th in 5v5, and his team used to be like 1 or 2 in 3v3 before some guy hacked the leader's account and deleted shit (apparently). Here's the guys characters, if you're interested. The World of Warcraft Armory - Massivez @ Blackrock - Profile The World of Warcraft Armory - Cirranis @ Blackrock - Profile This guy has been flown to California once so far for a tournament and placed 4th (top 3 were money prizes), plus has gotten things like a Modern Warfare 2 for the comp (which I play all the time now ), a 22-piece surround sound system, one of those g15 keyboards that shows your game stats on the screen, a huge mousepad with his face on it, etc. I just thought it was crazy that I actually know a guy who is THAT good (and that 'dedicated') to WoW. Does anybody else know someone who is a top ranked player in WoW/another game?
go on WoW and just type in chat "hail satan". then sit back and watch the shit storm fly, much lolz to be had
No, he's a white kid. But, he said at the tournament he went to in California, there was a top ranked Asian team that every time they killed someone, they would all scream this stuff in Chinese/Japanese/Korean (not sure which it was). I thought that was pretty funny.
If you go to a large scale LAN companies usually give away shit out the yingyang just to promote their product. A friend of mine was just sitting at his computer and a guy came up to him and asked what graphics card he had, he just has some crappy one so the guy said "here, have this one" and gave him a brand new ATI 4850. My CSS team was sponsored for a while when I still played, they just gave us a free server and vent, nothing crazy. If we ever decided to go to a LAN they would've payed all of our fees too.
Awesome, makes me miss WoW, although that's a train that's already departed. Some friend of mine were part of CAL O for CS:S
Hahahaha. I used to know a professional CS player that went to my high school. He got banned from Cevo for hacking in a match, but he still destroyed on LAN on team iDemise.
Seeing WoW and sponsors in the same sentence is a bit much to take in. WHTF? And I used to think those real life Pokemon battles were nerdy. This just blows that out of the ball park.
my 12 year old cousin is sponsored to play halo 3 and MW2. whats pretty cool is i started playing MW2 now and can beat him half the time maybe i should buy a ps3 and get sponsored.
Just so you know your buddy isn't ranked #5 in the world(of WoW) but for that battle group. /wow nerd. also, wow sponsors=lolwtf?
Yeah I just left after a 3 year bong and WOW session. I am still GM of the guild "EXALTED WITH MC DONALDS" on nagrand which my officers and a few dedicated 80;s still raid but Im not going back until they release the Worgen class.
I remember my buddy used to play DoD. He was in a clan and used to have clan battles or some shit all the time. He would be screaming at his computer like drill sergeant and cussing up a storm. He was pretty hilarious. But anyways, he entered a tournament one year back east and came back with a few grand in cash and a new monitor. Not bad for someone who is addicted to smoking OC.
Lol, twitard.,. jk. Man I wish I could get sponsored to play WoW. Eh, play a fun game with friends and smoke weed all day.
