Believe it or not Pro gaming has already been accepted as a profession; however, it's just the beginning.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are only a few selected competitive games that are accepted to a professional level. Most common are the games that derive from the FPS genre.
There are a few fighting games accepted as a profession. DOA and Smash Bros Melee being the two when there are more competitive fighting games to be yet considered a profession.
So this leads to the point of the question followed by sub-questions in conjunction with it. What future do you see for Pro Gaming?
Will pro gaming continue to extend the variety of competitive games of various genres?
Will their system of qualifying gamers to a professional level be somewhat the same as how sports qualify athletes to become pro athletes? Let's take hockey as an example, you start off competing in the College Hockey League, when you do well you'll be qualified to compete in the National Hockey League and if you prove to be a top athlete in that league you'll representing your nation and compete for the World Hockey League.
Will pro gaming be accepted by schools as an extra curriculum activity?
Will different gaming leagues merge together?
Will gaming leagues especially the game's developers pay special attention to the community forums?
