Favorite Record: My favorite record is the highest-earning Call of Duty player because it shows that even video games can earn you money. I also like but is something I want to strive for. This record fascinated me because here you have a man who is playing video games to a professional level and is earning money for I think everybody who plays video games wants to be able to do that. I would like to break this record because it will show people that even if you play video games you can still make a decent living off of it. But I also want to one up by being the highest-earning professional player for all games in general.
