Based on your stats, it is challenging to be good at a video game, as well as based on mine. Out of my group of buddies that I play with I am the best at crucible and I (in my opinion) have mediocre stats, but am in the top 9% for KD ratio. This goes to show that even though I seem mediocre, I am still a strong player compared to many others. The chances of becoming a successful gamer are almost the same as becoming a sports star. I also don't see why excercise has anything to with whether or not something is worthy of being a profession. Developers do the same thing, they sit at a desk and work on the game, and they Are respected for it. I don't see why gaming isn't a worthy profession when compared to sports, or other careers for that matter.
