i stopped gaming when i was 16 years old. i was fine at first but i started to have withdrawal systems. I felt giddy at times and even un-content with myself. Felt like i was wasting, had difficulty staying awake even when i slept a full 7-9 hours of sleep. So i turned to drugs, thanks to drugs i am no longer addicted gaming. Thank you drugs for turning my life around
Tetsuo Shima ... No man, you need to understand, people can actually successful when they believe them-self and started to do from beginning, its not like be a millionaire just split a second.. you first need to have passion into anything you do..
If you have a degree they teach you how to swindle these under educated millionaires for everything they've got. It's a beautiful system. The smart rich become wealthy off of the stupid rich.
Salute to KSI. Been watching him, off and on, for a while now and his success is the result of hard work period. Put it this way without help, at least when he started from his bedroom, he recorded / edited videos either from his FIFA gaming in his parents house or just simply recording himself doing something fun outside, handled his own marketing and advertising, and networked with fellow UK eSports gamers to build a clientele to feature as guest gamers on his FIFA vids. He did this for YEARS before he even got a check. His humor / personality is what people ultimately are attracted to and "FIFA funnies" were an example of creating gameplay content from FIFA video games with funny commentary. Saw his rise through his videos, and also saw his humbleness by thanking fans constantly by saying it on video or giveaways (should've seen what he did this past Christmas, WOW!) Though I don't play video games now-a-days, or watch KSI vids as much, I'm still aware of this kid's success story of busting his ass (or having people shoot it with a paintball gun) and living his life the way he sees fit no matter what anyone says. If KSI is reading this, rumble, young man rumble!!! #Haterzwillhate #LifeofanEntrepreneur
A lot of people hate on KSI.. I don't really like his content anymore. But you have to respect him. He saw an opportunity, and capitalised on it. If I was him, I would be having fun with it all aswell.
We meet KSI, the UK's ultimate gamer celebrity, and follow Team FNATIC to Gamescom-the biggest gaming event in the world-where they battle it out for Europe's top eSports title. Part 1: bit.ly/ESPORTS-P1 Part 2: bit.ly/ESPORTS-P2 Part 3: bit.ly/ESPORTS-P3
I've meet KSI and spoke to him at length and what I got from speaking to him is that even though he is making a ridiculous amount of money he is very down to earth, extremely nice and just a very welcoming guy to be with. If that's how he is like to just one of his fans with no camera then he is a great guy in my view.
It's still hard work, no matter how easy it may look. Constant pressure to keep content flowing. Massive hatred if you don't, and loss of income. You need editing chops, quite a bit of expensive equipment to do it right, a very strong personality, ability to keep a witty and entertaining patter going while gaming, and the hobby you love becomes a job with it's own list of responsibilities. It's a good way to lose your sheer love of the game. I know what I'm talkin' bout.
Hello Fred, the following are the players that are playing in the Strutt Year 7 football team, Joseph Olagundoye 7B (Goalkeeper) Elliot Morley 7D (Goalkeeper- or possibly outfield depending on situation) Isaac Okuro-Maduka 7D (Left Centre back- if we play 3 at the back/ centre back if we play 2-4-2 ) Matthew Olatunji 7D (Centre back or maybe central midfielder if we play 2-4-2) Daniel Caples-(right back or centre back) Joshua Nivem 7A (Left midfielder or left back) Ben Reynolds 7C (Central midfielder) Oscar Osuala 7D (Right midfield or right back). Jideofor Ogu 7B (Striker- though further up the pitch than the other striker.) Oladipo Olukanni 7B (Striker- though slightly more defensive.) We intend to start with a 3-3-2 formation,(with the defenders going fairly central although Isaac and Matthew can use their pace to fly up the pitch in attacks, but should still keep discipline and get back afterwards.) but if we need to press higher we can change into a 2-4-2. Which will just mean Matthew Olatunji going into centre midfield and the wingers, (Oscar and Joshua), going higher up the pitch. If we need to protect a lead we could possibly switch to a 4-3-1 formation. That will mean the wingers going to left and right back and me dropping into right centre mid, (meaning we are left with 3 centre midfielders). In that scenario we will aim to get the ball to Jideofor and use his pace for a quick counter attack.
Everybody wanted to look and act like skate boarders because they were cool, fashionable, marketable and it was art/sport & cool as fuk, that's why it had a big impact, non-skateboarders wanted to be/look like them as its influence crossed over to mainstream. Esports & a team like Fnatic is the opposite. Honestly, Fnatic looked like jus a bunch of supa nerdy guys all pumped up on their lil fame. They looked hideous in their all over print, logo uniforms, shit looked like something in between a NASCAR suit and a TOMTOM GPS sales rep's polo shirt circa 2005. And the fauxhawks? I digress. People into esports will follow them, but there not gonna have any impact outside of this world. No one will look at this and go "I want that, that's cool, they're cool, I want to be a part of that".
_"shit looked like something in between a NASCAR suit and a TOMTOM GPS sales rep's polo shirt from 2005."_ lol, this is so true. And all the girls following them around couldn't care less about the gaming, they just want a quick bit of money.
Sid B Welcome to every sport ever x) The simple fact is that they are the best in the world at something, that they have put thousands of hours of training into. You cant really argue that they do not deserve what they have got, unless you are willing to argue that for all sportsmen and women
I see a lot of people hating on KSI, saying that he doesn't deserve the amount of money he earns. He's been making TH-cam videos for almost 6 years now, and I think that's required a lot of work, and determination, to have become this successful! He is much more deserving than Kim Kardashian, and most celebrities today
+Chris P. Bacon I don't think that this Documentary was negative. It was just from an outside point of view. If you expect someone to really know the topic, watch a game on twitch. I am satisfied with this documentation.
I honestly hope that this documentary also covers the fighting game community as well. Learning about competitive mobas and spots games are cool but you cant juat ignore fighting game tourneies like evo, the north cal regionals and space battle oprea.
Just google lottery winners that went broke. This guy basically got really lucky and hit the lottory. There is really good chance he will be broke by the time he is about 35-40. Keep buying those cars!
did you watch the video fam, he has a continuous income every month from views, advertising and endorsements. Google "captainsparklez house" lmao broke by 35 nice joke! he's rich because he's a comedian end of
xWheezyy Means nothing...The bubble will burst, he will spend it all. Mike Tyson and many others were 100x more richer and it's all gone...Deal with that reality and fact.
Mark my words. This irresponsible clown will be broke in about 10-15 years if not sooner.He has no skills, nothing....once that bubble bursts he will be selling off the luxury items and in the poor house.It happens to so many people like this. Easy come, easy go! I'm not wishing it upon him but this is what's probably going to happen.
+Jordan Butler He's stated before he's not stupid with his money. He takes care of his family and he builds his bankroll. By the time he's 35 he'll probably have his business. It's easy to stay rich if you know what you're doing, and I'm sure he does. Guy has millions, he's hardly going crazy on it.
They are outsiders looking in. Maybe its like that maybe it isn't. Either they are showing what they see and money, bitches, and social status are what they see.
TheLivirus Hello kid, it isn't vice who makes gaming look like that, vice just states the facts as a new reporter what is actually happening, and if you think people game just because, and not because of earning money, you are in a very deep dark cave my friend.
quin mollow Hi kid. I'm not saying people play games "just because". I think they enjoy it, and I do believe that to most professional gamers, money is a means to gaming and not the other way around.
Pisses me off at the start already: "2 years ago this was built for actual sports and now 2 years later, we're here in the same staduim, watching esports." already criticizing gamers for not being athletes...so tell me then..how did chess get a sport?
+Kyroshi Shigaya getting very defensive. he isn't judging them for not being athletes he is just pointing out how popular computer game competitions have become and also the irony of it because he is acknowledging that gaming isn't exactly in the spirit of the olympics. He wasn't saying it was a bad thing in his opinion that was left for the viewer to decide.

The rise of e-sports and videogaming as a way to make money is incredibly fascinating. Like any other piece of entertainment, it all comes down to 1) Being entertaining 2) Building a fanbase 3) Making money off advertising to further yourself 3) Building a cohesive brand that your fan base can experience and live through product Now granted, I don't care for e-sports. I do watch some TH-cam gamers however. Part of me has an ill-respect for e-sports, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous.
At the end when you say they realized the bigger picture and was talking about brands you was basically saying its not about the game its about becoming a big brand to endorce more money
Being born with one of the funniest laughs of the modern era has literally enabled him to air lift a Jacuzzi onto the roof of his central London penthouse suite
What a terrible video for eSports, the host guy is not taking it serious at all. He's basically saying ''Hmmm these weird ass people earn good money doing this crap haha what a weird ass nerd world this has become''. His attitude, body language, it sucks. Please Vice, get some more viewer-friendly reporters
+maxk880 erm are we supposed to take it seriously? Do you not think it is mental that people care about this shit? to me someone who is really good at playing a game is someone I don't wanna play said game against nothing more. I am totally an outsider and I don't want to sound like an asshole but the whole thing kinda weirds me out, maybe you can inform me. Do you/some people actually love these gaming teams as much as a football fan loves their football team or a music fan loves a band and how do you pick the team you support? with a sports team you support the local team are the gaming teams localised? why?
i would have to disagree.. I think non gamers do view gamers as nerds and just slightly off the wall. Its bizarre to me too. He's definitely not my fave interviewer but not because his attitude is not friendly?
felix knott Why would it weird you out? It's just like traditional sports like football, except it's new. You're just acting like parents acted in the 60's about rock 'n roll ''I don't know it, I don't understand it, I won't take it seriously''. And I know what happened next, Rock 'n Roll quickly became the next big thing. It's just new, accept it. They are super good at what they are doing, and you are not their level, which makes it fun to watch
maxk880 haha well I guess the thing is that esports is far from being the next rock n roll. It isn't really revolutionary it is not going to change the world. I'm not like parents reacting to rock n roll because they were genuinely scared of it and they thought it was damaging to the moral fabric of society. If I'm honest and don't take it as an insult but I just think esports and everything surrounding it is kinda lame. It's cool that other people enjoy I have no problem with that but to me it's not something I'm interested, I don't care for it I find the humour associated with it stupid and unfunny and to me computer games will never be anything more than something fun to do when chilling with friends.
I wish the bigger TH-camrs with all this money and influence and massive following would actually do something good and bring notice to a good cause and/or charity!
I'm not sure how that guy was a 'party animal' even him saying the cops might come because the music was a bit loud was cringe worthy. Don't get me wrong I'm not a massive party guy myself but I've been to a few parties like the one in the video where people talk in small groups sipping on 7% drinks and even calling that a party annoys me. Not to mention that Sam matthiews seems like the kind of guy who organises a few nights out in clubs, tries pot, cranks up house music on his terrace and suddenly believes 'partying' is in his blood. It's fucking LOL pro's, look at their interviews, their everything but social.
KSI became a millionaire by being a terrible influence on the younger generation. I hope all those millions make him feel better for actually helping set society back a couple notches...
Rikkerry25 he provides entertainment and has made something of himself, just because someones able to make money doesn't mean they need to be the next jesus christ
Aaron B a large amount of his viewers are kids, that shouldn't be exposed to the type of shit he puts out. If making something of yourself, is being a vulgar, meaningless jerk on camera, then we're worse off than i thought.
You know what I enjoy? I really like Matt walks around in this video with insomnia about to fall asleep at any moment. He is the most boring thing in literally any scene, lmao
I feel like the more we become advanced with technology the more we distance ourselves from our friends and family and it is hitting our younger generation harder and harder and they see these youtubers as an outlet, like they want to be their friend deep down inside and they want to be like them and have all of these millions of followers and having that mentality will only add more fuel to the fire and will keep them away from having a more fulfilling life.
This is what it takes to be a millionaire nowadays? Great, good job, good work. You worked so hard for your money, sitting in a room screaming at video games. I wish i was that talented...
***** Holy shit that is the most stupid logic I've seen in a while. Just because when people think of Europeans they think of white or Africans they think of black doesn't mean you can't be black and be a european etc. Your nationality is decided the moment you are born you brain dead shit bag. And what the fuck do you mean dictionary definitions aren't absolute? Are you telling me we should ignore them when they don't help you in your argument but we should accept them when they do like the capeesh bull shit you pulled on Entezio? You're LITERALLY pulling shit out of your ass and making stuff up on the spot. I suggest everyone abandon this post, this kid has something wrong in his brain. He's like trying to sound smart but everything he says makes him look more and more retarded. I fear for our future generations, hopefully there isn't a women planning to reproduce with this dumb fuck. Maybe he'll die out in the process of survival of the fittest :D
A Jacuzzi airlifted? Pathetic. Is this what we have come to, people who have no degree, and are drop-outs make millions, compared to ones who work their whole life to just dream about such things.
TheCargeek123 gamers are active mentally and have to keep physically fit xD. if they aren't fit, they're slow physically and sluggish mentally. so it can be demanding. also concentrating intensely can be tiring af.
Edfromchowderheads Won't happend, gaming is the future and even IF and that is very big if, the mainstream investors leave it will still be financed by gamers like it was originally. Guess what they still made a lot of money in the beginning. Imagine coming 2020, you're screwed.
A trend never last. These people only there because somebody is "Pump and Dump" lots of money into them. Wait until new regulations comes in due to external variables. Better find a trade and get yourself a long term plan. Sadly, only few will invest for future, the rest will go away.
How many professional gamers have their own family? like kids, wife, gf whatever. Just curious, I'd rather be middle/lower class with family than esports superstar
Most of these guys are pretty young to be starting a family, a few of the older guys that come to mind that have a family and kids are PashaBicpes and WhiteRa.
RockGodZeppelin are you stupid? of course you wouldn't because its not your passion. smh. honestly, if you don't like video games, why would you pursue professional gaming career? and what kind of logic are you implying that living middle/lower class life somehow has a higher moral high ground. what's wrong with playing video games? get with the times the new generation appreciate games as a way of life, as comparable as to being a pro chess player or a pro cards player.
***** uhhh yes he did. first he asked whether esports people have kids or not, and goes on to say that i'd rather live a lower class life than be an esports gamer. this sentence implies that gamers can't get girls and that he would rather be poor than be a gamer. did you get that? that's like saying i'd rather live a lower standard of life than doing something like that. and i pointed out the absurdity of that logic. it's like me saying duhh i'd rather live a shit life than be in led zeppelin.
***** .....yes! do you want me to repeat it? did you read his statement?? let's look at your comment as well. you said that pursuing esports is redundant because you have responsibilities and work. your comment and rockgods is the same premise where you see the life of a professional gamer as redundant, somehow implying that its not a worthy cause and that you don't see the reward. it's because its not your passion! and most likely it's not a world you understand, and i say that with respect. you and rockgod discredit gamers. to these guys it's their life and is what their good at. first rockgod claimed a faux humble statement saying that he'd rather have little to no money rather than have be a gamer. and you said that ' i won't do it coz i have work and stuff'.... and what i'm saying is both your logic is for lack of a better word... STUPID!
I have no problem with people earning money through gaming or through Vlogging, I actually respect people like KSI and I recall mentioning him in a presentation in my class as one of the most creative teenagers I've ever seen, but I do have a problem with calling gaming a "sport", there is no comparison what so ever between the hardcore training sessions, very specific diet and sacrifices that an athlete will have to go through to become a big shot.
You think playing a game like leauge of legends is just sit down and play? To keep keep your brain healthy they have to stick to healthy diets and exercise daily in order to keep there brain from shutting down. That is why you don't see obese people on here cause they don't have the brain power to think up strategy. E-sport athletes do the same training and sacrifices as other athletes do.
VriskNight _ Well, I think you're a bit wrong here, I used to play League of Legends on a professional level here in my country (Joined in Tournaments etc..) and I can assure you I didn't need anything more than some energy drinks and fast food to win games and climb higher in ranks.
Sherif Osama I play league of legends today and in order for me to be on my top I have to exercise daily. Even the people I talk to her in america who go in small tournaments all say that they keep a exercise routine.
I'm actually jealous of KSI. He made a fortune just by playing games he's not even good at. But at the same time I'm glad for him! It's a cool success story.
I hate when people say that is unfair youtubers get well paid, but they don't realize that the entertainment industry has been always like this this people just make what they like and post it in videos they take time to create so don't be haters, and start your own TH-cam channel and you'll see it's not easy to have 1 million subscribers
i stopped gaming when i was 16 years old. i was fine at first but i started to have withdrawal systems. I felt giddy at times and even un-content with myself. Felt like i was wasting, had difficulty staying awake even when i slept a full 7-9 hours of sleep. So i turned to drugs, thanks to drugs i am no longer addicted gaming. Thank you drugs for turning my life around
Java Flask :P
funny, I tried to turn to games to get off drugs, didn't work though. P sure that just means drugs are too good.
Drugs have saved my life
***** lol
MR. BIGWORM Why dont we just combine gaming and drugs!>!>!>!!>!>!
Gaming, youtubing and esports are different things
Gaming is esports...
Lucipurr no, esports are competitive games played to win, while gaming can be playing games like sims 4, dark souls etc etc
Its gaming. All in the same category.
esports is gaming , games like the ones i said cant be called esport
Sure counter strike can be an esport but it doesnt change the fact that it's a video game. So saying it's different doesn't make sense
KS I is very inspiring. Nothing like finding success through passion and then rubbing it in the haters faces. I love it.
Totally
He also rubs it into everyone else's faces as well
Those "Deal With It" shades, man. I lost it.
Never understood his humour, he's like one of those people who should be making vines.
EXTREME SCALE PERFORMANCE RC anyone who plays fifa in general is a total waste to me.
This is proof that you don't need a degree to be successful in life. I mean now you can become a millionaire from TH-cam. Fucking madness!
Tetsuo Shima Not many become successful without a degree or a set of skills.
Tetsuo Shima ... No man, you need to understand, people can actually successful when they believe them-self and started to do from beginning, its not like be a millionaire just split a second.. you first need to have passion into anything you do..
Yes, but these guys are like rock stars. Anyone can be a musician, but few will make it big. This is no different.
If you have a degree they teach you how to swindle these under educated millionaires for everything they've got. It's a beautiful system. The smart rich become wealthy off of the stupid rich.
TETSUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I dont know this guy but he seems to be positive and enjoying his life. Good for him more blessings for you!

5:22 OMG THAT'S THE LINUSTECHTIPS OFFICE!
I see a lot of people hating on KSI, saying that he doesn't deserve the amount of money he earns.
He's been making TH-cam videos for almost 6 years now, and I think that's required a lot of work, and determination, to have become this successful!
He is much more deserving than Kim Kardashian, and most celebrities today
From Nigeria to the top of the London, quite a feat.
I didn't even realize KSI made this much money. When I saw the Lamborghini my jaw dropped.

He didn't win no lottery. But I admit he lives life quite lavishly. He should really stop, maybe he has savings.
Mark my words. This irresponsible clown will be broke in about 10-15 years if not sooner.He has no skills, nothing....once that bubble bursts he will be selling off the luxury items and in the poor house.It happens to so many people like this. Easy come, easy go! I'm not wishing it upon him but this is what's probably going to happen.
+Jordan Butler He's stated before he's not stupid with his money. He takes care of his family and he builds his bankroll.
By the time he's 35 he'll probably have his business. It's easy to stay rich if you know what you're doing, and I'm sure he does.
Guy has millions, he's hardly going crazy on it.
I remember Ksi back in the days
Been subscribed for years but he was the best!!!funny af !! Now I still subscribe to him but he's not the same
I Haven't even heard of "KSI" something is wrong here
Neither have i. Maybe we haven't heard of him cause he's a UK celebrity.
You're not missing out on anything. Unless you like watching people scream and shout like kids in a school play ground.
Me neither dude.
I don't think he cares lol if one person like you hasn't heard of him. There's like 5+ Million people that know about him.
Me neither lol personally idgaf about him he doesnt pay my bills.
How are people gonna hate on KSI he makes videos every day for his subscribers he works man
Good job Vice at reducing gaming to a means to money, social status and bitches! Could you make it any less about gaming?
TheAdskidids1 Good point, but it sounded like they were celebrating it.
what's wrong with money, social status and bitches?
They are outsiders looking in. Maybe its like that maybe it isn't. Either they are showing what they see and money, bitches, and social status are what they see.
TheLivirus Hello kid, it isn't vice who makes gaming look like that, vice just states the facts as a new reporter what is actually happening, and if you think people game just because, and not because of earning money, you are in a very deep dark cave my friend.
quin mollow Hi kid. I'm not saying people play games "just because". I think they enjoy it, and I do believe that to most professional gamers, money is a means to gaming and not the other way around.
This made me appreciate Pewdiepie's success more. Idk he seems a lot more humble KSI doesn't seem to have all that much humility about him anymore.
There's a lot of people hating just because these guys get paid for doing what they love, and they are getting paid more than you.
I remember when he had like 50k subs. Proud of him
Who came from jj’s new vid
I'm late to the party, can u plz tell me the vid?
@@KiyamaCS2 no clue anymore mate haha
Basically spent this whole video rolling my eyes.
Pisses me off at the start already: "2 years ago this was built for actual sports and now 2 years later, we're here in the same staduim, watching esports." already criticizing gamers for not being athletes...so tell me then..how did chess get a sport?
Because chess is classy and esports are for the rejects of society
I'm a huge chess fan.... Studied it for years. CHESS IS NOT A SPORT
+Fishmenace tacoface lol
+Kyroshi Shigaya getting very defensive. he isn't judging them for not being athletes he is just pointing out how popular computer game competitions have become and also the irony of it because he is acknowledging that gaming isn't exactly in the spirit of the olympics. He wasn't saying it was a bad thing in his opinion that was left for the viewer to decide.

the fact that the person this journalist connected with best of all gamers is ksi says something about this docu-series
The rise of e-sports and videogaming as a way to make money is incredibly fascinating. Like any other piece of entertainment, it all comes down to
1) Being entertaining
2) Building a fanbase
3) Making money off advertising to further yourself
3) Building a cohesive brand that your fan base can experience and live through product
Now granted, I don't care for e-sports. I do watch some TH-cam gamers however. Part of me has an ill-respect for e-sports, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous.
I'm jealous as fuck of these bastards. lmao
Blitzvogel Mobius Finally, some clear judgment in this comments section. Relief.
The day e'sports' takes over real sports is the day all hope for humanity will be lost.
At the end when you say they realized the bigger picture and was talking about brands you was basically saying its not about the game its about becoming a big brand to endorce more money
At the end of the day how much you earn is all matters.
It is mental, to say i'm jealous is an understatement, but i'm so happy for them living their dreams
I noticed a lot of famous TH-camrs scream incredibly loud.
Being born with one of the funniest laughs of the modern era has literally enabled him to air lift a Jacuzzi onto the roof of his central London penthouse suite
What a terrible video for eSports, the host guy is not taking it serious at all. He's basically saying ''Hmmm these weird ass people earn good money doing this crap haha what a weird ass nerd world this has become''. His attitude, body language, it sucks. Please Vice, get some more viewer-friendly reporters
+maxk880 erm are we supposed to take it seriously? Do you not think it is mental that people care about this shit? to me someone who is really good at playing a game is someone I don't wanna play said game against nothing more. I am totally an outsider and I don't want to sound like an asshole but the whole thing kinda weirds me out, maybe you can inform me. Do you/some people actually love these gaming teams as much as a football fan loves their football team or a music fan loves a band and how do you pick the team you support? with a sports team you support the local team are the gaming teams localised? why?
i would have to disagree.. I think non gamers do view gamers as nerds and just slightly off the wall. Its bizarre to me too. He's definitely not my fave interviewer but not because his attitude is not friendly?
felix knott Why would it weird you out? It's just like traditional sports like football, except it's new. You're just acting like parents acted in the 60's about rock 'n roll ''I don't know it, I don't understand it, I won't take it seriously''. And I know what happened next, Rock 'n Roll quickly became the next big thing. It's just new, accept it. They are super good at what they are doing, and you are not their level, which makes it fun to watch
maxk880 haha well I guess the thing is that esports is far from being the next rock n roll. It isn't really revolutionary it is not going to change the world. I'm not like parents reacting to rock n roll because they were genuinely scared of it and they thought it was damaging to the moral fabric of society. If I'm honest and don't take it as an insult but I just think esports and everything surrounding it is kinda lame. It's cool that other people enjoy I have no problem with that but to me it's not something I'm interested, I don't care for it I find the humour associated with it stupid and unfunny and to me computer games will never be anything more than something fun to do when chilling with friends.
felix knott Well stay in your bubble you old piece of boredom
Fnatic is huge and is a pretty impressive team
Throughout that interview KSI never thanked any of the subscribers that helped him become a 'millionaire'.
He doesn't have to
He has thanked us more than enough fam you lot don't need to worry 😂
I wish the bigger TH-camrs with all this money and influence and massive following would actually do something good and bring notice to a good cause and/or charity!
omg my life sucks
if this is KSI's fortune, i can only imagine pewdiepie
Well this video aged quickly
i havent heard the name KSI is years. and all i remember last was, it was (or still is) a massive clan in halo.
KSI and eSPORTS? what a joke
+Diunerite na Osman Baba KSI said it himself: he is not a pro gamer.
basically it's the game that he's playing that is fifa which is a part of Esports
Diunerite na Osman Baba eSports is the biggest joke and disgrace in western civilisation
Edfromchowderheads wow really?
Edfromchowderheads Yet they make more money than you. Dame what a loser.
I never ever liked ksi since he started and I don't still but at the same time I respect him cuz he's doing his thing
I hope CSG surpasses KSI
Said virtually no one ever
jmitchtheman I just said it nigga
and I said "virtually no one" to account for the misguided few
jmitchtheman I am someone though
your one of the misguided few
Ksi's a comedian, and that's why I like him so much
Nigga he made it , happy for my cuddy
I dont care what you think but if any one who hates on this stuff tried it theyd realize you have to respect these guys for their ability.
I'm not sure how that guy was a 'party animal' even him saying the cops might come because the music was a bit loud was cringe worthy.
Don't get me wrong I'm not a massive party guy myself but I've been to a few parties like the one in the video where people talk in small groups sipping on 7% drinks and even calling that a party annoys me.
Not to mention that Sam matthiews seems like the kind of guy who organises a few nights out in clubs, tries pot, cranks up house music on his terrace and suddenly believes 'partying' is in his blood.
It's fucking LOL pro's, look at their interviews, their everything but social.
He's a smart man!! Props
KSI became a millionaire by being a terrible influence on the younger generation. I hope all those millions make him feel better for actually helping set society back a couple notches...
Rikkerry25 umadcuzbad?
Rikkerry25 he provides entertainment and has made something of himself, just because someones able to make money doesn't mean they need to be the next jesus christ
***** so it should be ok because everyone does it?
Rikkerry25 So you're against people working hard to get what they want?
Aaron B a large amount of his viewers are kids, that shouldn't be exposed to the type of shit he puts out. If making something of yourself, is being a vulgar, meaningless jerk on camera, then we're worse off than i thought.
Great documentary VICE.
trying to compare this with football? nah mate

this is why JWonderpig doesn't make any sad expressions any time he loses in a final. hes well sorted out in a rich gaming company hahahh
well in counter-strike asia is the worst region
uk lol
:P
EU >= South America > North America > Asia > UK
not anymore, Tyloo is coming lol
You know what I enjoy? I really like Matt walks around in this video with insomnia about to fall asleep at any moment. He is the most boring thing in literally any scene, lmao
i was waiting for fnatic CSGO
+Silver Physics | CS:GO Imho, the only 2 enjoyable and really competitive esports are Dota 2 and CSGO
damn right
+Patrick Hall ehem.. LoL?
Fraol Beyecha na.... we aint one of those LoL fankids
I feel like the more we become advanced with technology the more we distance ourselves from our friends and family and it is hitting our younger generation harder and harder and they see these youtubers as an outlet, like they want to be their friend deep down inside and they want to be like them and have all of these millions of followers and having that mentality will only add more fuel to the fire and will keep them away from having a more fulfilling life.
Max Assmann So we should all go back to our bibles? This is honestly no different than the past.
lol ksi? why VICE...
because hes a millionaire...
Sanjay P Don't feed the troll, he's upset he's black.
Why not? He's news because his a growing phenomenon. So much so that you commented on it.
Martin yelda because 12 year olds that like watching KSI scream at the same FIFA video over and over made him a millionaire...
kill3456 his skin dumbass
He does something right, he's an entertainer and obviously does it well.
This is the Vice video that doesn't get mass down-voted. I think it just shows what type of fanbase they have.
KSI is one of the humblest celebrities ever. Q: are you a pro A: "oh god no, no, no, no Q2: Are you a millionaire A2: "Um I guess so yeah."
Drives around in a Lamborghini with “Deal with it" glasses on...yeah, seems very humble.
This is what it takes to be a millionaire nowadays? Great, good job, good work. You worked so hard for your money, sitting in a room screaming at video games. I wish i was that talented...
im sure you want to be a millionaire. So why dont you do it. Because you know it isnt easy
Lucipurr Like it or not Gaming is the future and will retain to be like that always.
people who work hard is not event a human they just a doll that waiting for their boss command
if it's so easy do it yourself lol
11:42 that kids face was like, he was so in love with his idol XD
Give it 2 years KSI will be out on his arse after spending his short-term fortune on spa-baths and idiotically expensive shoes.
Mister F 2 years later
Mister F WRONG
Mister F Well????
Mister F hahaha
that apartment is sick
This is so fucking stupid, people buy tickets to watch other people play something you could play yourself! Oh the irony!
***** It's a nationality.... would bet he is more European than you in behaviour.
ever heard of sport fans
Alfonso chopi yes I heard of sports fans, those are people who are fans of REAL ATHLETES, not wannabe's playing a computer game. lol
Roman Stefan now you get the hang of it.
***** Holy shit that is the most stupid logic I've seen in a while. Just because when people think of Europeans they think of white or Africans they think of black doesn't mean you can't be black and be a european etc. Your nationality is decided the moment you are born you brain dead shit bag.
And what the fuck do you mean dictionary definitions aren't absolute? Are you telling me we should ignore them when they don't help you in your argument but we should accept them when they do like the capeesh bull shit you pulled on Entezio? You're LITERALLY pulling shit out of your ass and making stuff up on the spot.
I suggest everyone abandon this post, this kid has something wrong in his brain. He's like trying to sound smart but everything he says makes him look more and more retarded. I fear for our future generations, hopefully there isn't a women planning to reproduce with this dumb fuck. Maybe he'll die out in the process of survival of the fittest :D
Hahaah 0:50 the subtitle spelt Boris Johnson as Forest Johnson, that did make me giggle
A Jacuzzi airlifted?
Pathetic. Is this what we have come to, people who have no degree, and are drop-outs make millions, compared to ones who work their whole life to just dream about such things.
Gaming isn't a sport, a sport is defined as a professional competitive game in which you are ACTIVE.
TheCargeek123 gamers are active mentally and have to keep physically fit xD. if they aren't fit, they're slow physically and sluggish mentally. so it can be demanding. also concentrating intensely can be tiring af.
kiwiboyify Are being serious?
TheCargeek123 to each their own opinion...
Jelly?
Who remembers that match between JJ and Simon.JJ was about to win then got cocky and scored some on goals on for Simon to equalize last minute.
This dude is making some terrible investments on what I'm forecasting to be a very short-lived fame.
J.P. Muldoe I hope eSports fails miserably. Unfortunately that probably won't be the case.
Edfromchowderheads Won't happend, gaming is the future and even IF and that is very big if, the mainstream investors leave it will still be financed by gamers like it was originally. Guess what they still made a lot of money in the beginning. Imagine coming 2020, you're screwed.
A trend never last. These people only there because somebody is "Pump and Dump" lots of money into them. Wait until new regulations comes in due to external variables. Better find a trade and get yourself a long term plan. Sadly, only few will invest for future, the rest will go away.
The millionaire kid reminded me of the Room when he was just walkin' around with that football.
Lol
Firstly an interview with Obama, now KSI? VICE giving me interviews with people I know about? Unheard of!
How many professional gamers have their own family? like kids, wife, gf whatever. Just curious, I'd rather be middle/lower class with family than esports superstar
Most of these guys are pretty young to be starting a family, a few of the older guys that come to mind that have a family and kids are PashaBicpes and WhiteRa.
Pasha supports his family with his big biceps!
RockGodZeppelin are you stupid? of course you wouldn't because its not your passion. smh. honestly, if you don't like video games, why would you pursue professional gaming career? and what kind of logic are you implying that living middle/lower class life somehow has a higher moral high ground. what's wrong with playing video games? get with the times the new generation appreciate games as a way of life, as comparable as to being a pro chess player or a pro cards player.
***** uhhh yes he did. first he asked whether esports people have kids or not, and goes on to say that i'd rather live a lower class life than be an esports gamer. this sentence implies that gamers can't get girls and that he would rather be poor than be a gamer. did you get that? that's like saying i'd rather live a lower standard of life than doing something like that. and i pointed out the absurdity of that logic. it's like me saying duhh i'd rather live a shit life than be in led zeppelin.
***** .....yes! do you want me to repeat it? did you read his statement??
let's look at your comment as well. you said that pursuing esports is redundant because you have responsibilities and work. your comment and rockgods is the same premise where you see the life of a professional gamer as redundant, somehow implying that its not a worthy cause and that you don't see the reward. it's because its not your passion! and most likely it's not a world you understand, and i say that with respect. you and rockgod discredit gamers. to these guys it's their life and is what their good at. first rockgod claimed a faux humble statement saying that he'd rather have little to no money rather than have be a gamer. and you said that ' i won't do it coz i have work and stuff'.... and what i'm saying is both your logic is for lack of a better word... STUPID!
The subtitles for this video are amazing.... :-P
KSI is awesome
"So we're here at a place called Gamescom. It's basically nerd Tokyo."
... So, it's basically Tokyo.
I have no problem with people earning money through gaming or through Vlogging, I actually respect people like KSI and I recall mentioning him in a presentation in my class as one of the most creative teenagers I've ever seen, but I do have a problem with calling gaming a "sport", there is no comparison what so ever between the hardcore training sessions, very specific diet and sacrifices that an athlete will have to go through to become a big shot.
You think playing a game like leauge of legends is just sit down and play? To keep keep your brain healthy they have to stick to healthy diets and exercise daily in order to keep there brain from shutting down. That is why you don't see obese people on here cause they don't have the brain power to think up strategy. E-sport athletes do the same training and sacrifices as other athletes do.
VriskNight _ Well, I think you're a bit wrong here, I used to play League of Legends on a professional level here in my country (Joined in Tournaments etc..) and I can assure you I didn't need anything more than some energy drinks and fast food to win games and climb higher in ranks.
Sherif Osama I play league of legends today and in order for me to be on my top I have to exercise daily. Even the people I talk to her in america who go in small tournaments all say that they keep a exercise routine.
I'm actually jealous of KSI. He made a fortune just by playing games he's not even good at. But at the same time I'm glad for him! It's a cool success story.
i love that they put olofmeister cringing at the beginning
0:18 pronax wearing the concentrated face

KSI, new wave rock star
I hate when people say that is unfair youtubers get well paid, but they don't realize that the entertainment industry has been always like this this people just make what they like and post it in videos they take time to create so don't be haters, and start your own TH-cam channel and you'll see it's not easy to have 1 million subscribers
