Hail Feryar,
Yea, I'm semi-known in 1v1 Q3 OSP. I haven't competed in LANs or anything; but I'm in a clan that has people who have won 10k+ in cash from big LAN tournaments. I simply havn't got into UT2K3 because I got so deep into Q3. It wasn't fun playing the relatively same four maps for years.
Quake 3 was more of an addiction then a game to me. I was hoping to go to some Lan tournaments and attempt to win some cash. Unfortunately college and a full time job cut out that dream. My parents despise games as it is. I don't think they will buy "Dad do you mind me not going to college and work to try to become a pro gamer?". Not going to happen. It was fun beating some people who do make a living playing quake though.
If you know fatal1ty from UT2K3, I've played him a dozen times in random Q3 games (don't know him personally). Never won, but I wasn't so far off . He's known for making a living off gaming (Q3/UT2K3) and appearing on MTV. Amazing how much money he made playing games (sponsorships too).
