Liana’s Answer

I'm not a professional gamer, but to be a professional at anything you need three core items:
- Practice...all experts have ~10,000 hours of experience.
- Watch and emulate (copy) your professional gamer hero's. What have they done to become a success?
- Dedication and professionalism. Dedicate yourself, learning what it takes and then actually doing it will be hard! Know that, embrace it. Wake up at 4am and do an hour of game stuff, whatever it takes.

D.’s Answer

Most pro gamers play obsessively—it's work, not casual gaming. For some people this ruins the fun, and for some that's not the case.

Damion’s Answer

So you want to be a professional gamer! Many people are clamoring for the same designation but there are a couple of
things that you need.
1. You have to be able to talk clearly so that others will understand you when you are live streaming
2. You need a decent microphone rig so that others can hear you when you are talking while streaming
3. You need to be interesting so that people will be interested in what you are doing
4. Find a game that others will like that you can pass on helpful hints, tricks, and information
5. A decent chair for comfort
6. A Twitch account and/or a YouTube account for content creation
7. A willingness to take the heat from the online community if something you say or do is not well recieved.

Best wishes in your endeavor!
