Victor De Leon is living the dream at 8 years old.  Victor is better known as Lil Poison, a Major League Gamer who plays to win in Halo.  Victor picked up the controller from his father at the age of 2 when “Dad” found that a controller makes a fine pacifier.  Victor has already competed in several tournaments and has also earned enough playing video games to ensure his college education is fully funded.  Victor’s parents have done a great job by adding some balance to his life.  He does homework before gaming, puts in some physical activity at his grandparent’s swimming pool and caps off the evening with some team gaming for 2 hours.  Let’s hope getting into the gaming spotlight at such a young age doesn’t disenfranchise Lil Poison.  I don’t want to see a VH1 special in 15 years about child gamers and where they are now!
