In the highly competitive online gaming world, Hargreaves's experience is not a case in particular. A team of children from South Korea won 1 million dollars for playing the League of Heroes (League of Legends). Millions of people around the world watch them play games.

Like other gamers, Hargreaves earns money from video streaming, sponsorship contracts and games. Three ways.

Hargreaves told the New York Times reporter, "I thought, what if all this goes away for a day?" If for some reason people do not see me tomorrow, what will it be? What if people don't click on my YouTube video tomorrow? What if my team is no longer good and I don't play so well? When I can't compete with others, what happens when I want to quit because I'm going crazy?
