Youngest professional videogamer

Born on 6 May 1998, “Lil Poison” (USA, aka Victor De Leon III) picked up a Dreamcast Controller at the age of two, to play NBA 2K. He entered his first competition – a Halo tournament in his native New York, USA – aged four, and was competing in the Major League Games one year later. In the first part of 2005, still aged six, Lil Poison signed an exclusive deal with the organisers of Major League Gaming, and became the youngest signed professional video gamer.
