As per a previous AfD, I am resubmitting this. This article fails WP:BIO and is related to Major League Gaming. :: Colin Keigher ( Talk ) 21:46, 23 December 2006 (UTC) Skier: there have been notable professional gamers, including some with product lines now named after them that have claimed over a million dollars in combined prizes (Fatal1ty comes to mind), but those cases are few and far far between. There are *maybe* at the outside a dozen notable pro gamers out there... Wintermut3 06:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep - This gamer has been featured the most on USA Network out of any MLG gamer. MLG is a very significant league - it offers the most prize money for its permanant games and has broadcasted shows on USA Network featuring every single player and team on the list. Most if not all players have had articles written about them in their local newspaper. EGM magazine - the most popular gaming magazine (you can get it in any of your local pharmacy stores) regularly feature MLG and its best teams and players. Wall Street Journal published an article about the first contract deal MLG offered to its top gamers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arrashju (talk • contribs)
