A few years ago, one might be tempted to even imagine that online gaming will be so famous and that gamers will become seasoned professionals competing at international levels. Online gaming tournaments have become quite a rage in the past few years with the invention of Xbox live consoles and some exciting games like the Halo trilogy, Gears of war, Shadowrun and others.
There has to be one or the other major factor contributing to this attraction quotient for online games. The idea of starting a career in online gaming might be foolish then, but not now. The first factor is obviously a possible career option, and then comes the funny thing called Fun which is more prevalent among teenagers. Huge cash prizes and bonuses play a major role in the popularity of online games. Now online gaming has become highly organized with major leagues conducting events and signing up teams and players.
