The Video Game Wunderkind to Be Listed in The Guinness Book of World Records

The Guinness Book of World Records is going to list a 9 year old video game wunderkind Victor M. De Leon III as the world's youngest professional gamer.

The third grader, better known to cyber rivals and fans as Lil’ Poison, has been playing video games on the professional level since he was four.

Victor's father, Mr. De Leon, is a passionate video game player as well and so is Victor's uncle Gabriel.

A Major League Gaming Pro Circuit Event starts this Friday at the Meadowland in New Jersey. 2,500 competitors will be battling at the three-day event for titles like the titan on the Xbox game Halo 2. Prizes are up to $20,000. Victor will be among those 2,500 gamers as well.

Good luck Victor!
