All you aspiring gamers should take note of a certain Victor De Leon III. While he may not be in the same league as Fatal1ty, he’s certainly carved one for himself and that is becoming the youngest professional gamer ever. Lil Poison, (the nick he goes by) is only 8 years old and he is the youngest Halo champion in the world as of now. Training started really early for this young prodigy as he started gaming when he was only two years of age (that’s when most kids learn to walk) and won his first championship when he was four. This young dude has won enough money to pay for his college tuition; so the next time your parents tell you gaming is a waste of time, you know who’s example to give. Either way, if you’re interested in more of Lil Poison’s exploits, you can check his blog out at 1up.com.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
