8-year-old boy signs contract with Esports club for the sum of $ 33,000
Probably he is now the youngest professional gamer in the Esports industry with a contract on his name. Meet Joseph Deen at the age of 8-years he signed a deal with Team 33 for $33,000
Team 33 invested $ 33,000 to add 8 years old Fortnite player, Joseph Deen, also known as Gosu33. In fact, Gosu started training with Team 33 when he was just six years old and started developing his skills for the past last 2 years.
"It is a dream come true!" Joseph Deen said when asked to comment on the transaction. “While many other teams did not take me seriously due to my young age, Team 33 tested me at Fornite and allowed me to train and learn with them on a daily basis. I couldn't be happier today to become an official member of the team. "
“We set out to coach him in recent years because young players are the future, and we want to start training them early. He has shown incredible tenacity and commitment to the team over the last two years and has trained almost daily with us. Finally, everything has paid off. It's a momentous day for all of us, "said Tyler Gallagher, CEO of Regal Assets and one of the founders of Team 33.
One needs to wonder, though, is that even allowed or a good thing? Signing a contract with demanding statutes at the age of 8?

I didn't even have to read the news to already guess it's Fortnite. Second guess would have been professional pokemon go player. Oh well...

Game is PEGI 12 rated. Kid plays since he is 6.
Professional Gaming World: We can ignore toxic environment of Fortnite, because of money.
And funny part is that PEGI 12 rating does not include "online interactions".
In other words: "Game is rated PEGI 12 as long as you do not enter multiplayer. Moment you enter multiplayer, it is whole different world."
