The picture below is my main car in a racing game called Hot Wheels Unleashed 2, at time of writing yesterday, I was asked to join the unofficial pro league, but I turned them down.

There are many reasons why.
1. I play xbox and most players at that level are either PC or PlayStation.
2. As a UK player, time zones are a big issue.
3. As a full time worker, I refuse to give up my Sundays.
4. To stay that consistent is draining.
5. It will make me hate the game.
And finally 6. Elite players are arse holes.
The guy who tried to recruit me over sold the idea as well, putting me off, in fact its exactly like Smogen is for Pokemon.
A bunch of ever changing rules that only ever benefit those who are organizing it, groups like Smogen is one of the reasons why I retired from Pokemon (there are a couple of other reasons)
Hot Wheels Unleashed is the only game I own that I'm good enough to be pro and it kinda sucks sometimes whenever I try and race someone, they take one look at my gamertag and leave, I'm good but I'm human, I make mistakes, you will not get the same driver every race.
Gaming especially at my age is a hobby, if it stops being that, I'll retire for good.
