Yeah, some people are pretty ridiculous. I have around 4k games played I think, most of those are from before summer. I'd say the average games played of pros by now is around 7k. This one guy, Pilez, dropped out of high school to play Halo and has around 14k games played. That's not the most pathetic part though. He's been to 2 events and only placed top 24 at both of them (which is a god awful placing for someone who plays that much). That's not even enough to get a travel stipend (top 16) or prize money (top 8). Its funny, because every time I run into him he tries to talk shit to me, and I just sit there and laugh. I really don't have to say anything. The only other person I know of that's done that is T2, and he's on the #1 team, the poster boy for MLG, and he's going to be on Dr. Pepper bottles in 2009.
