Legend pimps is so ugly! There was this one guy though, used to play on kind of a fringe team that's gone now, and he had insanely long, curly hair! He was so ugly! I want to say... the team was MoB Deep or something? He looks like an ugly guy I know, that's why I remember.
It has worked out for him so far especially if he invested properly. The financial part of being a Halo pro for the most part is not very good, but I guess it isn't as bad as working. The only way to make a good living off of it is to be the face of MLG (FB and Str8), which to get there takes countless hours. Although the other teams can win tourneys, they are only making 5 grand a piece for a first place finish, but FB is sponsored by Red Bull and Gilbert Arenas, and Str8 is sponsored by Dr. Pepper and Panasonic. T2 also makes those stupid videos and is the face of MLG right now. Although it worked out for T2, dropping out of school to go pro is not a good move financially. On topic, I would say that most of the Halo pros are pretty normal kids outside of Halo especially on the top 4 teams. I think that the WoW pros might be a little more extreme because they tend to be a lot older.
