Yeah, he's got GREAT promise in the biz/licensing sense. But more importantly, this is groundbreaking for the gaming community.
He brings money into professional gaming, which in turn brings legitimacy.
10 years from now, kids are gonna tell their parents, they want to grow up to be "Pro Gamers".
Fucking Rad!

60 Minutes did an intriguing profile on him this past Sunday. He's already earned over $300,000, and he works on his craft by playing tennis daily to keep his mind and hand eye coordination sharp. They showed him going to some Woodstock-like gamer's convention in Sweden, where thousands of kids showed up carrying their hard drives to battle for 3 days straight. There was also a small segment on this 7 year old who's billed as the next Fatal1ty, and he already has endorsement deals and a PR firm representing him.
The times are a changin.

I was once the world's best at Contra. I beat it once with one guy, then for kicks did it five more times the same day.

i used to be king of Killer Instinct at the arcades until that day...
...when the car door slammed shut with my thumb still there.
i was never the same person that i used to be.

Yeah, seriously times are changing. Im 24 now, and to see/hear that 7 year olds are kicking ass in tournaments like HALO is fucking nuts for me.
I mean, what the hell kinda Kool-Aid was that seven year old drinking? It's like these kids that are comming up, are "embedded" with how to play games from birth. Like theyre evolving.......shit, thats scary!
