This weekend gamers from all over the country are in Austin, playing for a chance to become professional gamers.  The Championship Gamin Series is a league with 6 North American teams and another 12 teams around the world.  Last year was their first and they awarded more than 1 million dollars in prize money.  Most gamers made about 30 thousand dollars a year, last year but this year the top gamers can pull down $100,000 in salary and bonuses.  The league's commisioner just got back from China where they're building a stadium for gaming fans.  They're expecting 125-thousand fans to watch the championship competition there.  Do you think it will ever be that popular here and would you ever try to go pro?
