  • athlete? what a joke...

  • When I play guitar for about 30min my playing skills rise for some reason :)

  • @DschangoTV playing isn't everything. There's so many more possibilities.

  • Comment removed

  • "Right now we're sponsoring two gamers, one from italy and one from sweden" which two is he talking about?

  • And when people start about talking about fat kids in star wars t-shirts, they loose all credibility, not only is that just bullshit. but gaming as a job DOES give u values as to staying in shape/looking good, MORE SO than any other job, but ofc its down to the people. ofc you dont hear someone is a doctor, teacher, engineer, blablabla and go think they are fat or whatever, ridiculous. And the reason one think pop-stars are "good" is because they are in the spotlight, like gamers are now

  • Reading some of these comments makes me loose faith in humanity, seeing how brainwashed some of you cowards are, sure fatal1ty was one of the few brave guys who went out and set everything straight while it still was small, now that its the biggest thing on planet earth, whos laughing now :D? Also i hope people realise it doenst just breed intelligence, but now that its becoming so huge as a spectator sport it does mean having good looks, and a superstar is not "shy".

  • Now seeing as Hollywood tried to bribe USA government with bill s.978 to stop gaming from COMPLETELY dwarfing movies and TV (wich it now has) Failed. And now, even hollywood corruption or music cant compete, gaming is btw a 100 billion dollar industry, and sell more than music AND movies combined.

  • Feel its stupid to call it "video games" this is gaming, the worlds biggest hobby, the fastest growing sport in the world. and saying that it breeds geeks or social akwardness? some pros look like models, some are geeks (nothing wrong with that) Some are great at everything, one married MISS usa, others are ur stupid stereotypes all that is just down to the people! nothing to do with a job/hobby. But it does however breed intelligence, no doubt about that.

  • video gaming id for LOSERS !!! why dont you go play hockey or wrestling or something REAL. this is what the majority of kids these days are doing - gaming and becoming a fatass

  • @Blueberry954 1:02 he fucking runs and he isnt fat and he's making more money than you probly he owns a fucking brand, i buy his shit. Yea...what a loser

  • @Blueberry954 BTW, You wont see an unfit professional gaming, also life is about doing what u like, and any gamer does that, so you sort of just fail, but then again, i cant tell if your plain MTV brainwashed and stupid, or just trolling

  • @Blueberry954

    You are the most ignorant person who has ever written a comment and you make me lose hope in humanity. I bet you're incredibly insecure too.

  • @Takerfan57 In my oppinion, videogames are a stupid waste of time. I mean, it makes you FAT, and its bee proven multiple times that videogames have been known to cause mental ilness such as ADHD and depression/suicide, and with the amount of violence that it has in them, it causes players to act like that in the real world! 3 alabama police offecers were shot after a teen played too much grand theft auto

  • @Blueberry954

    Are you ACTUALLY trying to prove the fact that playing violent video games makes you act like that in the real life? Do you work for FOX news? How mentally retarded can you be? Also, if people get paid to do something THEY enjoy and THEY find fun, that doesn't make it a waste of time. A classic example of 'i don't like this so I try and force my opinion on everybody else around me'. Grow up and stop being so fucking ignorant.

  • @Takerfan57 I hate videogames I hate them I hate them I hate them!!!

  • @Blueberry954

    You might hate them, but that's no reason to go around shitting on people that like them and play them for a living. They find it fun, they're not social rejects, they DO exercise, they're not psychopathic and they get paid for it. You're not superior to them in any way because you don't play video games so you should stop spewing bullshit and get off your fucking high horse.

  • @Takerfan57 ok then

  • @Blueberry954 You hate videogames because you suck at them. You saying that games with violence in them cause players to act out in rl and that videogames cause mental illness is ridiculous. You saying that just shows how easily influenced your weak mind is by the media. I laugh at you.

  • so, where is he now?

  • lol @ the jelly haters

  • You guys are right, he's not a professional athlete. Professional athletes go bankrupt a year after they retire; Fatal1ty actually is responsible enough to save and start his own business.

  • he should play league of legends

  • @Ingeniousxkiller Why LoL, HoN is more skills.

  • wow has the higest skillcap would like to see this guy go against hydra in a 3v3 arena mathc

  • @TheRentars as u can see he only plays enjoyable games :)

  • Btw Starcraft Korean pros live in team houses were all they do is play starcraft and exercising :O

  • I (on average) play 8-10 hours a day :/

  • Why does he need to justify his profession but saying he used to play all kinds of sports. Who gives a crap.

  • professional athlete lolz

  • @TheMurphykid123

    The guy earned half a million dollars in prize money and is now retired from competing to run his business and brand... he definitely got the last "lolz".

  • lol professional athlete

  • i can just see him doing training montages like rocky with the adriane and the button pressing and the call of duty tactical nuking and yeah

  • @mario4ever1000 Did you just affiliate Fatal1ty with Call of Duty? You're an idiot.

  • @ZedekOfLP101 sorry im not a hardcore kill kill kill guy and have no interest in the call of duty series

  • @mario4ever1000 No no, don't try and pass your stupidity off on me. It's common sense to anyone who knows anything about competitive gaming that Fatal1ty plays DM games competitively e.g. Quake, Painkiller, etc. Although it's apparent that you truly don't follow competitive gaming if going by your YouTube name is anything accurate. No offense, but Nintendo kids tend to not know what the fuck they're talking about.

  • @ZedekOfLP101 youre right in all honesty nintendo doesnt make the best competitive games so yeah im not that much into the genre

  • @mario4ever1000 he's good he shouldn't play cod, but umm yea good idea

  • Wish i was in korea right now. That way it will be nothing but gaming and working out and making new friends that loves playing the games you play :)

  • 948 people got fragged by fatal1ty

  • compared to korean pro gamers, 8hours is easy, korean gamers play at least 12 hrs a day 6 days a week

  • @0gerbilater0 8 hours is getting in the mood for me lol''

  • he looks like mark zuckerberg

  • @WEIMA112 Again, poker is not a sport. How fucking stupid are you? Actually, you're probably a fat, lazy piece of shit if you think sitting on your ass is being an athlete. If you actually possessed any athletic skills whatsoever, you'd understand stand why gaming is not a sport. Whatever, enjoy eating twinkies & drinking Mtn Dew and calling yourself an athlete . . . fatass scrub.

  • @WEIMA112 You should learn how to read, it's a wonderful skill, it really is. I never said anything about people making money off of gaming, I said it's not a sport. If people want to (& can) make money off of video games, good for them. I'm truly happy they're earning money doing something they enjoy. However, the only fucking people who consider gaming a sport is gamers. When gaming is in the Olympics, it's a sport. When kids get Letters for Varsity gaming in school, it's a sport. Until then..

  • @WEIMA112 I didn't say anything about the definition of sports, I said the definition of an athlete: which was taken from Merriam/Webster  who also defines 'sport' as "(1): physical activity engaged in for pleasure (2): a particular activity (as an athletic game) so engaged in." Gaming is NOT a fucking sport & gamers are NOT athletes. Furthermore, learn to spell if you're going to call other people 'idiots.'

  • @colonelboston I see what you did there, However that said, F1 and other types of motoracing are considered sports, as is horse racing and jockeys considered atheletes, darts and snooker to name but 2 more examples of sports where the atheletes either sit down or don't do anything particularly pysical. And before you start saying they aren't considered sports, atheletes have won sportsperson of the year in all of these fields.

  • This is the futur of sports and god I have to say I am proud. Finally a sport where illegal steroids doesnt enahnce your gaming ablity.

  • what a fucking nerd

    why the hell would he get paid?

    that faggot ass nerd needs to get a real job

  • People who play video games have just as much importance as anyone else. He has a real paying job unlike yours surfing youtube and doing nothing all day.

  • @paulmacjulio1996 Lol. It is a real job. and hes probably making more in a year than you are in 10.

  • @paulmacjulio1996

    Are you mentally deficient?

  • etically that is. But society doesn't see that. They see band kids as band nerds who sit in the house and play their instruments all day and have no life, yet 15 years from then, their famous and they're getting paid LIKE A BOSS, playing the shit out of that horn. My point is, gaming is entertainment as well as football, as well as marching band(Music), etc. This ridiculing is for the trolls lol. Really, everyone likes movies and tv. Games are just movies except you're able to control the char:)

  • But people are stupid today. There's no such thing as nothing, because well you're doing SOMETHING always. Society is nothing but the cool kids, jocks, assholes who can do nothing themselves but ridicule people for what they do. Ex: Marching Band or Football? Society's gonna pick football obviously because it is on TV for one. They like it and want everyone else to like it to and if they don't, they can burn in hell. Little do they know, MB is just like football except without a football, Theor

  • Okay its obvious here that people are goin back and forward with this "GAMING ISN'T A SPORT!!! BAAAAH" and that "AAAAAAHHH HE'S A NERD BAAAAAHHH". It is theoretically a sport because like he said, its competitive and it in-a-way requires a powerful mentality that says "I'm gonna win." Socially its a waste of a human body and no one likes to be around gamers because TYPICALLY, they smell, TYPICALLY, they have been derived of everything so they sit in the house all day doing "nothing". ~cont

  • Running... BULLSHIT!!!

  • Yeah i wander why some idiot with only basic school qualifications, can easily become a football/soccer player, basketball, and other sports and start earning milions $/€ just by playing around with a stupid ball, or whatever other sports use.

    And we, the ppl that love playing video games, can't do it that easily, like its if only a miracle happens.

    What a weird shitty world we have...

  • athlete? what a joke

  • @MrSindreee what a joke lol i agree

  • This would help all those basement dweller gamers to leave their parent's house.

  • Professional athlete my ass. I'm a gamer and that shit is NOT a sport and its participants are NOT athletes.

  • @colonelboston black ops lobbies with 12 year olds isnt what he means, real MLG actualy getting payed to play is what he means.

  • @Burni05 Yeah, I know what he means. If you SIT IN A CHAIR you're not a fucking athlete. Gaming requires no athletic skill or prowess. I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying it's not a fucking sport, therefore he's not a fucking athlete.

  • @colonelboston when u train 8 hours per day theres no real difference..

    poker players are considered atheletes ...so why not counter strike players? or starcraft players? etc

  • @sidewaysfcs0718 It's not training, it's playing a game. And poker players are not athletes either. People who think anyone who competes at something is an athlete is a fucking moron, no offense (or take offense, I don't care) -- is Bingo a fucking sport now too? How about spelling bees? An athlete is defined as "a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina." That is most definately NOT a fucking a gamer.

  • How much money makes a pro gamer?

  • athlete??? oh ya he uses his eye muscles

  • So true you need to stay fit and you have to eat well and sport and thats why all those real geeks never accomplished a decent skill

  • I just thought it was funny how the camera flashed to her nodding like she is actually interviewing him haha

  • being a pro gamer is hard, I still need a part time job for fall back on bad months. getting contracted is serious business, i've been to all the major tournies and even beat good ol'wendell here a couple times, and i'm still relatively unknown. this shits hardcore

  • @desolationofsmaug your obviously one of those school geeks who think education "in school" is the only way to get renown. Dont you know this is like any sport, racing, golf, soccer. theere is ALWAYS someone better, does it mean if they are better he will become a homeless sucker? no, put some logic in your words or dont watch these videos, stick to those boring school videos that are probably more meaningless than this.

  • @desolationofsmaug He will be known in history u stupid fuck, if u think this is meaningless i dont see anything more meanful in a painting.

  • They play games not polluted by 8 year olds like grand tourismo quake world of wargraft etc not cod witch is polluted by hackers 8 year old and just plane ideots

  • I can't sail ships, or drive trucks, trains

    So I use all the great similuator games :)

  • is that person from sweden tejb ??? :0

  • 8 hrs thats it? lol!

  • @ininify 8 hours of ultra solid, ultra hard gaming in ultra competitive games like quake, not 15 hours of cod.

  • He's a pro, he makes money, but video gaming isn't athletics.

  • i actually quit baseball and basketball half way through high school to get high and play video games all day... who knows maybe ill be the first to start a gaming company for stoners

  • @cracker4life100 Fact! Entrepreneur ere lads!!

  • I just LOVE video games. It's pretty cool to see someone can make a brand and earn lot of money, only playing video games. For me, it wouldn't be the right choice, because even gaming is tough work if you want to make money. You have to practice every day many hours and become a master, and that's not the thing i want to do. I don't want to get frustrated or spend many many hours with them. I love games very much, but i don't want gaming feels like work.

  • this dude isnt all gaming... he goes out jogging every single day in the morning before he practices, so hes probably more fit than you are...

  • i burst out laughing when she said "professional athlete"

  • Hello all the game lovers out there I am a gamers too. Check out my vids and see if u like them and if u rly like them subscribe and there will be more. Thanx in advance.

  • i would love to see this guy in cod4

  • @MisterX963 Fatal1ty is a real FPS gamer, so he doesn't play those little kid console games. CoD4 is FUN and casual and CoD4 promod allows for some hardcore competitive play, but it doesn't even touch CS and Quake.

  • i know that the life of a gamer is hard... and they usually dont last long either... however, there are many ppl out there who makes just enough to live but yet still doing what they love and living their life... even not in gamer but in something else like bboying~ and besides, i said i love being him, didnt say i would try and become a pro gamer myself

  • Yeah nice music Green Day When I come around at least at the start.

  • my computer is broke, thumb me up to make me happy:(<3

  • your not a sports man. you idiot.

  • @Wilmott1992 hes prolly smarter than you are it takes alot of problem solving to become a pro gamer so i wouldnt be calling him and idiot

  • This guy does not make nearly as much as the Korean StarCraft players, but he is a role model... Mad props to him.

  • So how good is he? I heard he can play ANY game, get on it, and not die a single time, and get like 500 kills.

  • Fatal1ty gets laid 3 times a day

  • doesn't he suck?

    real programers are those korean SC players

  • @jetsamjetsam hahahahahahha

  • hahahahaahahaha i go running for 4 hours hahahahhahahahah oh my god!!!!!! 

  • considers himself a pro athlete.......wtf all he duz is sit on his ass with a controller!!

  • @TeamRisingPhoenix nigger hypocrite what are you doing now? sitting on your black ass and writing retarded messages

  • stop hating jelous pricks :)

  • Lol this guy is so nerdy. Hes obviously a virgin and has a massive bush

  • @jimmy33339 and your obviously a 15 year old faggot who idolize halo mlg players

  • THIS IS INSANE. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. PEOPLE LIKE THIS EXIST?? WHO KNEW ABOUT THIS AND FUCKIN NEVER TOLD ME? FUCK U GUYS I FUCKIN HATE ALL OF YOU. HOW CAN U DO THIS TO ME? LIKE U KNOW I WANNA KNOW ABOUT THIS SHIT THE SECOND IT HITS THE STREETS. I AINT PLAYING WHITYA NIGGAS. NEXT TIME YA'LL C SOMETHING THIS GREAT, YA'LL LET ME KNOW BADMAN POOLAA.

    THANKS THO SICK VIDEO. 

  • fuck fatality

  • @BKajun06 fuck YOU

  • test games and get paid its real i made $362 in two weeks

    link at funny-ish.co.nr

  • Gamers who haze Faal1ty, is like shooting themselves in the foot. Fatal1ty has given eSports a good name, and good rep. People don't realize what he's done for the sport.

  • I am sure if my mom didn't tell me to stop play video games every time, when I was young, I would be the best player in the world and millionaire, today.

  • @Slopies no you wont....you suck cock and hes good not you

  • @Slopies Nope.. billy mitchell would say you must be born with it..

  • @Slopies Do a barrel roll.

  • i would rather make $200 dollars a week palying madden than being in some depressing job making $400

  • @DEVLIN15100 Is there anything besides Madden to make money off of? Because Madden sucks.

  • @DEVLIN15100

    I was working maintenance at this window factory making about $20 an hour which for me the pay was pretty good, but sometimes i just felt like i was wasting my life being there and it didnt practice anything that i valued being skilled at. Im glad i got laid off.

  • @DEVLIN15100

    Some video gamers have million dollar contracts so, so they make MORE than the people with a depressing job :p WIN !

  • @PS3ZioNixX

    BIWINNING!!!

  • why laughing at pro gamers and adore professional athlets?? i mean at the end they doing the same shit ..have talent, do nothing but exercises.. and get a bunch of money..alright the athlets work with their body but the progamers work with their, mind thats all!!

  • @moneymakergirl672 and fingers.. speed matters too.

  • @moneymakergirl672 Except pro gamers seem to be at least respectable as people. Pro athletes are a bunch of sick retarded fucks.

  • this fatal1ty guy is a retard

  • @chikwin ur a fag

  • @chikwin why

  • FPS are not my thing i love the Tactical MMORPGS Like dofus. its like playing a game of chess. its strategy. FPS requires strategy and reaction skill but just doesn't do anything for me. guess i like having a social life with my gaming . Im marrying a person i met  online

  • @YourFavouriteMessiah you mean like rts?

  • You really don't have to practice 8 hours a day. That is ridiculous and incredibly unhealthy. All you need is to memorize maps + spawns, get some aim and tactics.

  • @teepsterr thats why you are not a professional gamer... you dont practice you are no one in everything in life is like that... so...

  • @tommyjones1978 Actually, I was sponsored by xfire to play RtCW:ET a few years back for a team called x6tence, I was also sponsored in a few other teams, now I've toned down gaming a lot and I only participate in TWL for MW2. I find it funny that people think they can actually make a wage from playing games for 8 hours a day. You're not going to get a wage playing games, you have as much chance in getting to play for a professional football team.

  • @teepsterr Ok, i was sponsored as well, but i did t have the time to dedicate.... but i redo my quote: Thats why you are not the words best player.... in every sport you have to learn not only your body, but your mind!! Fatality is the best player because is skilled and he practice every day many hours, the difference between you, me and fatality is the time dedicated to games, and obviously the skill.

  • @tommyjones1978 Everyone knows that fatality possesses some sort of talent that most others do not. That does not mean that everyone can make as much money as him.

  • @teepsterr Sorry??? i never say the contrary!!

  • @tommyjones1978  33 years old and arguing with teenagers about silly computer games, seriously....grow up...sigh

  • @SeelyaK AND YOU ARE A STALKER!! HAHAHA YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE BANNED! ALREADY REPORTED ALL YOUR SPAM VIOLATION YOUTUBE USER AGREMENT, TREATHED MESSAGES! CYA CREAT ANOTHER ACOCUNT NOOB... HAHAAH

  • @tommyjones1978

    Visible on my channel: registration date January 8 2012

    Sorry for making you look....mmm....rather foolish.

    Btw....going by all the swearing, capital letters and exclamation marks; are you mad son?

  • @SeelyaK you are such a lonely kid with no friends, just wasting time on internet stalking people... that why you are a lonely one... no one cares about you... shame on you... stalker... lonely and unhappy little kid... you can kill yourself nobody will notice that.... pity on you...

  • Are you mad?

  • I have a Fatal1ty motherboard :)

  • ''beeing a professionnal gamer is not as easy as it sounds'''

    because it sounds easy? lol

  • I play more than this guy, and i ain''t shit. It's just getting out there..

  • @SimzySays420

    U really dont, lol. He has his own computer components that he desinges himself

  • @AVP181 "U really dont." I'm wondering to myself how you would even know that. There are people out there who could be 10x better than this guy, nobody would ever know.

  • @SimzySays420

    I dont want to start a argument.

    I meant "U really dont" in a funny way, because its his JOB to play them.

  • Haha professional athlete!! Hahahhaha yea i wana see his thumb muscles!!

  • @cnb6 Did you even watch the entire video? He said he 1. played sports all his life 2. he runs 3-4 miles a day before continuing training.

  • "Wake up at around noon, play for about 4 hours ..."

    Fantastic.

  • Nobody should hate on fatal1ty. He's taking this sport and making a name for it and himself. If anything he's opening doors for other people to go pro in their favorite games for the future.

  • I played the wrong kind of videogames mmorpg's and anything I learned from playing ultima online is completely useless and makes me no money..

  • @KoRnmunk00 got a ps3? this kid want's a peice

  • omfg i wana just be like u!!!!!

  • cool. now see if you can get a girl to sleep with you.

  • @curtiswild you a pornstar?

  • @TheJackRapper  its funny you should say that. yes i am. i am one of the biggest earning gay pornstars in england.

  • @curtiswild cool!

  • First off he cant b a no life if hes making money has his own business and works out for up to 2-3 hours a day ur just hating on the guy bc u wish u could b him

  • lol i would LOVE to be him playing video games, be master at it, and earn my living... for all those who says we have no life, well guess wat, i get to do wat i love the most and make money while u have to get yelled at by ur boss whenever u do sumthing wrong and not enjoying it oh and i get to travel around the world for free, HA take that for u idiots out there who calls ppl "no life"

  • @speedkiller2 Except for the fact that if it wasn't for his products he wouldn't be making a living, or at least any living remotely comfortable. There's hardly anybody able to live solely off of gaming and every time there's coverage like this they always forget to mention it. Go watch Frag the documentary. It's quite the eye opener and an interesting watch.

  • @speedkiller2 Actually pro gaming is ALOT harder then what it looks like in these videos( Watch FRAG, great movie, not spaming but that shows what PRO gaming is like) Fatal1ty trains up to 18 hours a day and is really organized and good, but few gamers say they make a living off of pro gaming, because its pretty hard to play good, and get by because of the money that you get, which is little. Its almost near to impossible to become as sucessful as fatal1ty, hes at the top of the food chain.

  • @speedkiller2 lol but we get laid?

  • @TheDudeFrom0Z he gets more laid than anyone here and with hot chicks and yes its professional athlete try it if u want ull fail u jjust jealous nub

  • @speedkiller2 GIMP

  • @speedkiller2 I don't call people "no life". I call such "people" LOW LIFE!

  • I want to do this... :(

  • how the hell am i supposed to train to be my best when im drowning in school :{

  • don't be hating on someone just because their better than you at earning money, perhaps in a more less regular way, but still earning!

  • damn I wish I could play 8 hours a day

  • no life?? hes made 150000 dollars from gaming, and he owns his own company, id say, hes got a great life

  • He has made 600.000$+ by now in 2010!+ he owns company so.. yes he have a great life.
