Salutations!

What's goin' on class?

My name's Phil (short for Philip Vergeire) and I'm a senior (graduating this semester,yes!) majoring in English (obviously). I enjoy reading of all genres but for some reason I never enjoyed Victorian Literature (bad experience with a professor not to be named) and the reading list looks amazing this semester (thank God). I have been writing here and there and really enjoy it especially writing about my upbringing. I have a few things published on amateur basketball blogs (exciting...) about college players and their ability to perform at the level of the NBA (so prestigious). I guess something that people won't assume about me at first glance is that I used to be a "Professional Gamer" sponsored by Major League Gaming or MLG for short (until my mom said that gaming would take me no where in life only to find out people I used to play with get paid between 62k-200k a year). So she voided my MLG contract because I was only 16 and had no power over that stuff. I picked Philzy as my usernames because when I was in grade school there was another Philip so everyone called me Phil V. When you slung it together it sounded like Philzy and it stuck! Anyway, enough about me. What about you all?

  1. Phil, what does a MLG actually do and how do they get paid? Any chance you could get back into it?

  2. All they do is play video games competitively and make money through their sponsorship. MLG is endorsed by companies like Red Bull, Stride, Rockstar Energy Drinks (My potential sponsor) and Monster. As far as getting back into it, my interest level isn't as high anymore. I just game at my own leisure but I'm still good and just may enter big name tournaments with no sponsorship.
