Stephen Schmidt’s parents don’t worry anymore their son is spending too much time gaming.
“The last year of high school, when I came home from a tournament with $600 that I just won, and they’re like, ‘OK, if you keep doing this you can keep going, as long as your grades stay good and you keep bringing home money,' " remembers Schmidt. "They didn’t have an issue with it.”
He’s bringing home a lot more than that these days. The Oak Hills and UC graduate has winnings totaling more than $10,000.
Schmidt’s specialty is Super Smash Brothers, a crossover fighting game series featuring characters from various Nintendo franchises. At the May 28 Lift-Off Smash Regional in Nashville, he took second.

Super Smash Brothers holds a special place in many of our hearts, and Schmidt's success in it is just fantastic.
His story resonates with me because it's a testament to what can happen when you pursue your passion wholeheartedly. And hey, FYI, if you've got some CS:GO skins lying around like I do, maybe it's worth considering selling them on sites like https://skin.land/sell-skins/csgo/ . Who knows, we might just unlock something special from our gaming collections, just like Schmidt unlocked his success through his dedication to gaming.
