The Glamorous Life of a Pro Gamer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2018
- At age 20, professional gamer Michael Schmale had it all: a steady salary, a team mansion overlooking Hollywood and a chef, personal trainer, coach and team manager who were all there to help him play at his best. But the job came with plenty of uncertainties too. This is the first episode of "Next Jobs", a new series about careers of the future hosted by Bloomberg Technology's Aki Ito.

Reporter: Pros must use advanced teamwork and communication
"I think there's someone above me"
*"Nah trust me there's not"*
TheFalseDemon how is that not communicating?
Hey There it’s just a basic call out that no one actually says
I think he's saying...
"He's dead, Jim."
They rented that Rolls-Royce.
Aphex Lynch and?
still expencive
Dumb money would've bought it.
and that house
@@mrwn6284 what
They decided to interview the most unathletic player on their team
You could tell those workouts arent done very often
Who else thought that was the clout house
Trend Zone it is the clout house
Oscar Villagomez no it’s not
it’s next door
It is the clout house
it is dummy
Those push-ups though, yikes
ItzGanked and they were only 10 of them...
Gamer pushups
I thought he was practicing having sex..
It's almost like they're not real athletes
I mean at least he looked to be trying but idek bro
lol who are these people?
Better,why are these people?
😂
@@projectdvan4568 don't ever associate this to real men and women. Jesus.
They are 20 year olds with crooked arthritis fingers.
These are the new bourgeois who are popping up every where around the world, they are reshaping the world's spirit of inspiration.
Me: I want to grow up to be a pro gamer
Dad: it’s pronounced “Programmer” son
MEMEREVIEW Underrated comment
Lololol
Damn I can't say that to my dad
😂😂
My mans really just struggled to do 10 push-ups. They weren’t even push-ups, he was just humping the floor.
Zarar Khan ikr shit was so cringe how Dan you not do one push-up with form? Da fuck
Haha I noticed that too
my frind Call them fuck ups
thats why they do it everyday 😶
Poor dude is so weak haha
COD pros? Really ? They're the most irrelevant people in the industry, do this with a csgo team
yes 1000%
Or overwatch
ow is dead sir
Or LOL since that is the biggest esports scene
youre joking right?
like dota got bigger scene (world scale, not USA scale) and bigger prizepool
Professional gamer playing at 60hz on a controller lmao
Nathan Palmer they probs use PCs with 240hz and plug in a controller or there the most retarded team lol
You do know most Teams play on console right? Dumbass haha
Are they supposed to play kbm to practice, then go to lan and play on controller? You do realise it's literally against the rules to use kbm...
@@essayedgar yhea man its against the rules to play kbm on a dota 2 tournament *sarcasme*
Dumbass, consoles only get 60hz. It doesn’t matter.
I bet he now wishes that he did not waste all that money on shoes.
ArchAngel` Nah he can resale
@@jmno45 bru, who buys used shoes, it is like buying used condoms. Cmon bru.
you'd be surprised !
@@jmno45 I thought shoes were depreciating assets.
If you got a pair of Jordan 1 from the early 90's, you can make some big money with it !
Check pro gaming in South korea next time to have a true sence of the scale of the pro gaming scene btw Call of duty scene is pretty small compared to League of legend, Counter Strike, dota or Overwatch
Doflarida I miss watching Korean starcraft matches shit was hype
Doflarida well this channel is focusing on American gamers for American audience.
They're bad investment and their investors are making a bad investment lol.
Manush Shah Unfortunately Fortnite is probably going to be the biggest at this rate
Manush Shah lol only has a huge player base cause of its low Specs requirement but it is garbage quality compared to dota.
Of all the legit pro-gamers and teams out there, they went to Spacely from Ghost for this piece. Lmao.
I was thinking the same thing ffs aha
Should’ve gone to pengu from penta sports
Exactly lmao
and you can tell hes gonna be broke when CoD finally dies because theres no way he bought that rolls w/o taking out a loan
Sammich I’d imagine the rolls was a house car. I doubt any of them paid for it.
I LOVE how these guys are making pro gaming look like a surefire way to make money
News flash, Its not.
I think that's any career in the sports
It is.
That's because u suck ballz
And the difference of those 2 groups is huge. This mean way different profits
Agree, seems very competitive
“I’m a pro gamer” plays cod on console OMEGALUL
who cares what device they're on..
joaocorreiamedia I do game 😭 I play PC lol... I just think constantly nagging on “console pros” is annoying and over used
Nice Bloomberg. About 3 years late to the party.
Call of Duty on a controller...
Skill at it's finest.
@Something Nice most understand the sarcasm
You haven't played moba on mobile
@@tomato613 yeah its ez af
Echocookie I could beat all of them with a mouse and keyboard.
@@andrelaurent9607 i can do that on a wii-mote
Of all of esports games/platforms you had to choose console cod gamers thats so sad
Sneaky Master ikr
That’s what the rules are. When they switch to pc, players will be forced to play on pc. It’s not a choice. It’s rules.
3:31 these guys be recording food like it’s a alien😂
Lol, i thought the same
kids these days
these guys look more like instagram influencers than gamers
lmao cod is a tier 2 esport you should've interviewed csgo, dota or league players. They make hella cash
Agree cod esports died a couple years back
Rinka and Overwatch now. Overwatch will be the #1 esport game in the coming years. Mark my words.
Sahil Pethe I used to play overwatch back in the days but isnt it losing alot of popularity?
joe mint nope. On the contrary is gaining a lot of popularity lately.
joe mint it is losing a lot of popularity don't listen to this guy overwatch is slowly dying
Up next: *THE GLAMOROUS LIFE OF A RUSSIAN ARMS-DEALER*
That would be more interesting than this video tbh
That’s VICE
I didn’t recognize any of these ghost players
Synctify cause you only play fortnite you bum
Lou Casanova no they're irrelevant.
2:38 "we're athletes"
just so everyone knows these fools were dropped since they got shit on at every even they played in 😂
Lacefield is still apart of Ghost.
Neon hahahahahahaha
lol they said it at the end
Hard work and practice my ass😂
paul Go back to Minecraft 😂😂
Those biceps make 360 no scope head-shot easier.
RY 82 he cant even do one push-up with correct form...
11 year olds
"I know what I'll do in life"
you're not Justin Y
I love how he shows his worth in the gaming business and more over has a passion or vision to progress and keep doing what he loves
Damn he's so unbelievably boring couldn't you have gotten *ANYONE* else with a hint of personality
Get therapy for your envy.
@@eddiekruggerr4972 yep 👍🏼 I'm envious of that guy..
Get therapy for what real aspirstions/goals in life are
@@eddiekruggerr4972 you must be still a kid and follow those trends so go please eat poison
Should have gotten Rekkless
I feel like when you turn gaming into a job and chore it takes the fun and novelty away but I’m proud of them god bless
Why are they in the clout house tho
ghost owned it before faze
Snakers ohhhhhh now it makes sense
During the time of the video ghost gaming lived in the house but they moved out clout gang bought the house and then FaZe got the house that clout gang lived in 2 house down
My man a “pro gamer” but got dropped from his squad and plays on console. Ok
Should he qualify to your standards of a "pro gamer" ? Pathetic
15 years ago I was a top tier counterstrike 1.6 player... made $8k in my whole career, lol. Back then we had it figured that the average reaction time was around 270 milliseconds. I saw a video recently of Simple being clocked at 171 milliseconds. For a while I though if only this scene was around back when I was playing I could have made more money and I could have been competative... wrong. I would have made 0$ and failed completely because the guys that are playing today are genetic mutants to have reaction times that fast.
They are born just to do that man so be hapoy 😛 you me and all peoples there who play for fun we have a life 😛😂 not too mutch money but worth it 😂
Vexian play cs haha
My top was 0.09 seconds and average i hit 200 milliseconds
S1mple is daddy 😍
we are the sons of gamer
I don't understand how we're supposed to feel bad for him about getting dropped. $4k a month isn't a lot in CA, but it is more than enough if all your expenses are paid for. Especially if you have a 50k bonus. Do the math, thats $98,000 gross. After taxes and CA state tax, thats about $69,000 a year. Plus whatever he made from streaming. Dude could have easily saved most of his money and threw it at some investments? There's legit no reason for him to not still comfortably be making 6-7 figures a year. Swear these social media flexers are something.
when its actually the faze house
My mans said its like being an ATHLETE LMAOOOOO
It is kind of. Not to the same extent but definitely similar.
4K a month is pretty bad compared to most esports though right?
T O yeah, it's terrible
T O Yup, and the fact that they don’t stream is even worse. Retired pros like Shroud get even more money form their stream audience than they did when playing esports. It’s far more stable being a streamer too.
Clax they do stream pay more attention they said that on the video.
Gamer -X Not even close to as popular as CS streamers. COD had no audience on twitch.
Clax yeah I know I didn't even know if this gaming team existed.
Call of Duty is the most laughable and redicolous games to play professionally in.
Sayden why? It has an audience and it pays soooo...
And the graphics arent even terrible and you actually know if you have 30 hp and not a bar
Cod and battlefield being pro is a joke tbh. It doesn’t take any skill to aim scope and just hold down that fire button. In csgo, you compensate for movement inaccuracy and spray.
+3many15 the audience is one of the smaller esports scenes out there. The Overwatch league on average has 100k+ concurrent viewers with spots on tv channels. CS:GO has been aired on TBS many times and majors had 400k-500k viewers. Fortnite summer skirmish constantly rakes in 500k-600k viewers spread out on player streams. The lcs constantly has 100k-200k viewers spread over different streams, with the chinese scene consistently having millions of viewers (if you take out the bots aswell, chinese websites say the numbers are in tens of millions but the numbers are just in the millions) and being aired on TV aswell. International league tournaments peaked at 20 million plus. Dota 2 majors constantly get millions of viewers aswell from all around the world. Call of duty is very iconic as an esport, but modern day cod esports is a shell of what it was in 2012-2014
You can't even spell ridiculous.....
Thank you, ive gotten in so many arguments with ppl about how it doesn't matter that jobs are being taken because the amount that are being taken is insurmountable compared to the amount being created. The only issue is that older individuals who have been in those industries that are being replaced by technology, dont have either the time, or the intelligence to adapt to our ever changing world.
Wow, this is literally the only job I can do, and I can't even live long enough to see it happen.
What kind of game clips were those? lmao. They chose some random pub clips and the comms were scripted. Lace: "He's above you." Space: "Trust me, he's not" wtf? lol.
wabdih those aren’t pubg clips... it’s cod... uh
This was definetly sponsored by Activision. They weren't even playing WW2, they were playing ghosts. You just had random clips of WW2 gameplay thrown in.
ni brad pub means public matches...
ni brad you're so dumb lol, pub means public, as in public matches
ni brad is Probably gonna say "Uhhh pug is a dog" next?
console ? PRO ? seriously?
Mr Sausage bitch it's fucking cod not lol tf
Mr Sausage its not Fortnite lol
Mr Sausage if we talk about call of duty console is allot bether less hackers more stable more controllls in the matches
It's COD. Stupid.
Ikr?
seems like great series..keep it up with these great stories
I really cant imagine how their
eye sight is!
Is it just me or does this life sound really sucky?
Mr.Larry How so?
It’s you
yeah I agree, fearing you'll be kicked off a well paying team just for slightly underperforming sounds awful. esports isn't as fleshed out as mainstream sports yet either.
it only sucks if you are bottom tier pro gamer. im sure the top tier pro gamers are getting paid more and are more taken care of.
It's just you
wtf is the gameplay they are showing lmaooooooo
Sponsored video for sure.
That use to be the Ghost house but now it’s the clout house
People are hating on this because they interviewed Spacely out of anyone else, but it's probably because he was one of the only Pro Gamers willing to have this interview done. So chill with the hate lol.
Maybe not the best “Pro” gamers to use as an example; 30fps on consoles.. with aim assist? Yeah, real skillful.
CoD has always been running at 60 on consoles.
Lis Nikoliqi still, console isn't a very good example to show off a talent in gaming. Keyboard and mouse has 0 aim assist and you can experience true gameplay. Not getting into any console pc wars... Just saying the truth
60fps and why would you use a controller with no aim assist? That’s literally retarded
Why would you use a Controller for FPS-Games? That’s literally retarded
Keine Panik Because it’s on console? What kind of fucking question is that? Obviously you’re gonna play a console game with controller. If it’s on PC you’re gonna use kbm
They don't make that much money. The risk isn't worth the reward. This is all for show. Top 10 LoL and DotA players on the other hand is a different story.
KNO top 10 of ANY industry makes a fucking fortune lmao
Csgo players make bank aswell it's been reported they make 200k plus a year
Alessio Altieri thats like nothing considered the risk of not making top 20. You can't even live a lavish lifestyle on that. Shroud might be able to send his kids to good private schools and maybe have two expensive cars. It's not worth it until I can buy multiple beach houses, ensure 3 generations of private schools for the kids and still have enough to blow it off when I make top 20.
Atleast with regular jobs of even 100k a year would guarantee that I would live a life not broke and unqualified even if I don't fall on the top.
KNO what?
KNO yeah I was a bit ignorant with what I said, most top players can make upwards of ~200k annually, shox said in an interview that that was his salary like 2 or 3 years ago. Now with newer imvestors it's likely that we'll see more lower tier players making a lot more money and once players are done playing they can work elsewhere in the industry (management in org, coach, analyst etc.) Or could brand themselves on youtube or twitch (like shroud and nothing are doing)
Obviously theres a chance none of this works out and most people should consider getting enough education done in order to work after you finish your esports run
I hate it when they call themselves "pro athletes"
His mother's reaction was priceless
You should have done a video of Daigo instead.
Your sentence has a mistake. The correct variant is "You should have done a video of Daigo instead".
Santiago Lol. I had to read it five times to realize the mistake. Thanks
Daigo is a peasant compared to LoL, DoTa, and CSGO players. They should have done a video on NiKo on FaZe or s1mple on Na'Vi
Elvis Maduro Daigo blows all them away, maybe the games he plays doesn’t interest you, but he’s been around on top longer than your list.
David Crook I've been playing Street Fighter longer than you've been alive. Daigo is an absolute legend in the FGC no doubt. But I meant peasant in terms of overall crossover appeal, prize money he's won, and the stages he's competed on. There's no bigger tournament than Evo and Evo gets beat in terms attendance and viewership on a regular basis. Only until recently has Daigo played in front of 20 or 30k fans and I know he hasn't won anything with over a million people watching at home. Daigo is great and I have much respect for him but his fame and legend are localized
I swear that is ricegums house
houses on that side of Hollywood hills look the same..
dat is where he film the disstrack agaisnt idubbz lol
Lets Go gaming and more it's a house next to it
Lets Go gaming and more It's not. These sorts of houses in the hills can look very similar.
Bro the clout house is right next to their house
Best part was the "slow, entracing guitars"
When he started the push up,I knew he's a GAME BOY.
Was that RiceGums house!?
Edit: woah didn’t expect so many likes/comments wtf
no it’s next door
CyanWorksHD Yeah rice just moved into this one and Faze adapt moved into the old clout house
CyanWorksHD your dumb
It's you're by the way, you should have proper grammar before calling someone out.
Chantel Hoyt no It wasn’t it’s just made in the same neighborhood so of course it’s going to look similar
They should have talked about Overwatch League players
That1Guy so much of overwatch screams IM NOT A ESPORT so no that would not be better
Starboss05 how so? It’s better than fortnite trash
Why are they using the clout house.
Hayden Dykstra they had had that house before the clout gang
Kaop X facts
Hayden Dykstra fuck the clout house I want faze house back
if go to 2:06 you can see the road and where it curves, that is where the clout house is, on the corner. the houses in that area look similar.
During the time of the video ghost gaming owned the house and clout gang lived 2 houses down but ghost gaming moved out then clout gang bought the house then the house clout gang use to live in thats 2 houses down FaZe clan moved into
LOL COMPETITIVE GAMING ON CONSOLE AND PLAYING COD HAHA 😂

Banny The Ban Hammer there is different players on each platform, pc platform has the most competitive players to go against.
playing fps game on the console should be paid very good, otherwise its just a torture
Why would you play a competitive FPS on a console? Analog sticks suck ass.
Vrealon Sony paid for it to be on console

Krypto Spoiled? PC players are far older than console players on average.

Looks like getting dropped is no joke. The dude went from living in a mansion and wearing Yeezys to living in a house and wearing Jordans LMAO
That's dan bilzerian home. And noobmaster69 is a pro now
😂
Low key felt bad when he got dropped I can imagen the feeling
that house isn't faze clans...its clout house and they rent the place they don't own the $15 million dollar house
Tech News This isn't the same house, it's one of the homes right beside theirs. They're basically the exact same just a few changes.
Tech News it’s not the clout house either it’s next dor
Ninja's story of becoming a big celebrity gamer is way better.
Mauz Shaikh who is ninja
Reido you edgy dang
There is no story all he did was meet drake
Who gives two shits about him
It really isn’t, he just got good at br games like h1, so when one blew up he did too.
I showed my mom this vid and she yelled at me for wabting to make money from tournaments even tho i won 250 bucks from a mini PUBG tournament
That's awesome keep going

@morse youre not even the same dude
@@DaftPunkSkittle Does it matter?
yes it does because then it makes no sense , you didnt win that tournment with that money etc youre not part of the roast/joke
Who sees the clout house right next to it
The house looks like ricegum
Lets Go gaming and
Yes looks like rice gum
Pro gamer don't look like that
3:01 he says they 'play' for 6 hours. Real pros 'practice' for 16 hours.
he plays cod, why would they practice 16 hours with that weak ass aim it takes to land a shot there
Boi, you insane? 16 hours of practise a day leaves only 8 to fit in: Sleep, workout, food, toilet breaks, showering, social time. A healthy sleep is ~7-9 hours iirc so where tf is anyone supposed to get 16 hours of practise from. Afaik, most csgo pros prac for about 8 hours a day
Noah Akkerman why not try that
Look at south Korean teams, it's why they're the best at most of the games that they play. Its fucking rigorous.
" LIFE ON UA-cam STILL MEANS LIFE OF POVERTY "
3:31 made me cry a little inside. All of the worst parts of our society are right in those few frames.
Thats Mike's first push up since high school. LoL man
Wait... CONSOLE PLAYERS?!?! CALL OF DUTY??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Go Beyond what u play yo gi oh
Saira Tariq oh yea yea it is
Dude will get what all jocks who can't do it anymore can get. That being...a coaching job and / or a broadcasting gig.
was that his first day at the gym or something?
That looks an awful lot like ricegum's house.
sports and gaming will be a natural career path in the future as machines becomes more automated and AI development keeps going
“Make my mum and dad proud” 😂
I've seen this house before on Mr. Beast's video
Snow Black it’s the clout house.. ghost owned it before faze. but now faze owns it and mr beast visited them
Since when is playing cod on console a esport
Keff Japlan It was an early esport, but now its pretty much irrelevant.
Yo boy got sacked on his show 😂
I’m sorry but that’s cold
I love that he says for somebody who's uneducated when he starts explaining that's great
The most credit goes to the people who create the games.
Mike is now homeless at the age of 13
They aren’t lucky, they worked for where they are and built themselfs up.
Justin by pursuing a hobby. They are addicted, they'll play either way.
So you took more than 3 months to edit this? :O
Never even heard of this pro until now
Now I realize why rice got kicked out of the clout house 😮👌
I wanna join a team
Snake in 3310
dude was straight struggling to do 10 pushups... definitely an athlete.
Classic case of "make my mom and dad proud"
tons of gaming music over here, awesome video 😉
Bloomberg still doesn't get it...
Why ?
What headphones are they using?
He is making his mom and dad proud
That house is close to the clout house it has a similar structure looks similar inside and all
It is the clout house.....
So he spent all his money
I've been playing since the 90's and still playing so am I a veteran and what's the dental and vision benefits?
I like how the said they have to exercise in the morning 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
