		<description>Hi, my name is Michael Curtis,

I have been gaming for a long time now, I started way back on halo 1 then 2 and when the 360 was launched I was into gears of war and halo 3. not long after I quit for world of warcraft for about 2 years. 

I then came back to console and really enjoyed it. I have been constantly playing halo 3 for about 6 months now, I have upped my game far from what I ever expected but im still feel im not quite there.

All I think about is being a pro gamer its like my dream or goal if you will as well as thousands of people who want it to. I have been trying to meet and get people to join my clan / team but nothing has really happened. I have a website I go into various playlists to meet new people but still nothing.

Im at the end of the line now, I just feel so fed up trying and I cant seem to get any closer to pro gaming then from where I started. I dont know what else to do.

Im 21 years old and currently work as a Games Tester, I live in the United Kingdom (UK), I have been looking but there does not seem to be much real life LAN tournements within the UK, not like America has.

I feel I am in a hole I cannot get out of with this all I need is a good team, then we can train and get our playstyles to work together and hope to compete in some of these tournements.


My contact details are
Mcurtis_7@live.co.uk
my xbox gamer tag = x SoundFX x

Thanks for reading</description>
