All I want to do with my life is play video games

I want to quit my job and play video games until i die. It's way better than working a real job. I wish i could reach high diamond/master/challenger so it was within the realm of possibility. Please offer me coaching and intensive mentorship. Regards, Spiritoffizz

I mean, I'm not going to say it's not impossible but neither is being a pro football player.

So good luck...

Start streaming and build a community then and hope some super high up streamer gives you a shout out.

I'm not sure if you're intending professional play or streaming.

I feel obligated to say that both are still not anywhere close to a guarantee simply by being high ranked. In order to be scouted you typically have to be in a the top percentile of challenger tier and not just a spike, but consistently there. Additionally there are numerous challenger players whose streams see little to no viewership.

I don't like just being a wet blanket, and I do wish you the best in your attempts, but like I said I just felt obligated to put that out there.

you don't have to be high elo to make video games your profession. rossboomsocks and brofresco aren't high elo, and they do just fine. You have to be entertaining to a big enough audience. Simply being high elo doesn't guarantee you success either, there are plenty of diamond+ streamers with low view counts because they're just not interesting to watch.
