Picaso featured in the Echo!

Posted by: r2k

Our Forza Motorsport 2 player, Dean 'Picaso' Sutton is once again making headlines, first on the BBC Essex Radio and now in his local newspaper the 'Basildon Echo'.


The news story entitled 'I'm Paid To Play Computer Games' gives general information about the CGS and what Picaso will try to accomplish with the team within the next few weeks.

Here is a snippet:

"The pro gamer, known in the gaming world as Picaso, is travelling to Los Angeles to compete with his team, Birmingham Salvo, to try to secure a place in the World Championships, which has a first prize of $500,000.

Dean, who was only selected for the team at a competition in Birmingham last week, said he was excited about it.

He said: "I've only been a pro gamer since last week and I'm getting paid a salary for the next year plus any prize money. The prospect of splitting $500,000 between my teammates is pretty good. It seems a bit weird just for playing video games, but I'm glad it could be our team."

woop woop...love the comments on the echo-news site:

'' a pro "computer gamer? umm...you play on xbox. if you want to be a pro PC gamer then play on a PC ... duh. you can play counter strike on a PC (getgosu)...you are playing in CGS so you probably make like 25k a year...not much. gl though. if you ever want to play a real game play SC or CS''

yeah, gawd dean you suck!!
