Well it's not exactly a class. At the college in my area it's considered a club that you can join through tryout and being good enough.

[@Kokin0]

[@NTac_Tic]

[@survivor-xg3fk]

[@jacobmatthews4453]

Riot Games and the Big Ten Conference have a deal, so almost every Big Ten school has scholarships (usually of around $5-6,000) to give out for collegiate league.

[@princeofnothing1866]

If ur gonna get into something like this for esports try and go to straight to the big league maybe starting on an academy team if u wanna go to school but do it on the side go for it

[@ithinkweshoulduseglyph.657]

Your so pure :,) I'll remember your name when I see you go pro 👏👏👏

[@himlaz_2398]

I'm 13 and I plan on playing pro league. The thing I needed to steel my resolve was to tell myself I can't just become a pro because I like playing games to be a pro I need to be able to sacrifice my social life, my youth and plenty of other things. Good luck with your grind but don't forget the reality of it because it will no be as easy as just playing a lot

[@rosemariegatila7279]

[@DjokovicIsOurLordAndSaviour]

[@Fizz17]

Ye I live in Switzerland. But at least in Switzerland you don't have to pay tuition.

[@Rachel-tq5vq]

How good do you have to be? Or do you just have to be a good player and have a good attitude?

[@c9empty884]

Its sad how maybe the challengers and master tiers will take the spots but hey i might get lucky and get out of d4-d2.

[@DjokovicIsOurLordAndSaviour]

If you show a really good attitude like he said you might be in for a shot.

[@theradicalaxe553]

Can you tell me the reason you think you are in Diamond and can’t get out by chance?

[@c9empty884]

Drago Mattocks cause i am in diamond? And diamond is the resting place for people who doesn’t care cause they’re “diamond”but still plays and never improves?

[@ytcry]

It's all fucking league of legends wtf

[@deniz6734]

i feel like the boomers see gaming as stupid or just dont undertstand it. you cant teach a random kid to be good at video games. your either good or your not. if your having to go to school to get good at a game then your most likely never going to be good at it.

[@xKnightfallx]

Hahahah tyler1

[@P2Feener305]

Apparently don’t be a person of color....it’s ridiculous that people think there is an unfair treatment for people of color in gaming because they haven’t made into the big leagues in gaming........ummmmm....maybe it’s not due to the color of their skin...but maybe their poor skills.
