Good game.

Spencer's gonna be there.

Did you see him in Chicago?

No man, Roo and

I were smashing

some kids on the

Bolivian servers.

[Dave] Let me pull it up.

Here's the link.

(computer beeping)

[Twitch Anchor] All eyes

were on Chicago last weekend

as twenty teams competed

(door opening)

in the Reflex Arena

exhibition games.

After three days of intense...

[Scotty] You know

what I'm thinking?

I'm thinking It's time

you got your own place.

The attorney dropped

off the papers.

It's officially yours.

[Announcer] Welcome,

gamers and fans,

to the third annual

Columbus LAN.

The only local area

network that links

us all to the nerve

center of Reflex Arena.

No lag, no excuses.

[Dave] You're in my spot.

Oh, my bad.

No one was here.

[Dave] Can't a guy take a piss

without someone

stealing his rig?

(keyboard clicking)

Hey, you're Tank.

Yeah.

So?

I'm Pulse?

Oh, sh*t.

You sound different

through your mic.

(laughing)

We should face-off again.

No way, brah,

I'm not a dueler.

But listen, if you hear of a

team looking for an attacker,

Let me know.

You got it.

Later.

[Dave] All right.

Easy.

[Man] Kovak please

report to registration.

[Kid] That computer is $4,250.

[Kate] Venus Water.

Venus Water?

Venus Water?

Venus Water?

Nutrients of the sea.

Origin of life.

One sip, and it'll

be all you desire.

I'm sold.

(laughing)

Keep it in your pants.

They're free samples.

All right, let's get

this started everybody.

Come on, come on, come on.

Gotta go.

The main event for

tonight is a challenge

against one of the

world's top gamers.

Dream Team Nefarious is on site,

selling their pro

gear including,

(crowd clapping)

their new brand

new X-Laser mouse!

Also, you can pick up a limited

edition LED keyboard, and get

it signed by one of our pros.

Now, without further ado,

who is ready to go one-on-one

with Jonathan Phantom Spencer?

(crowd cheering)

Three minute time limit.

Let's see what you got.

Phantom.

Uh,

you.

(crowd awwing)

Yeah, you with the

piece-of-sh*t keyboard.

(laughing)

Come on up, come on up!

Here you go!

There you go.

Well done, congratulations.

Okay, what's your name?

Tyler Conway.

Tyler Conway, you sure?

(laughing)

All right, take your spot.

Don't go too hard on him.

All right.

Everybody ready?

(crowd clapping)

Whoo!

Let's get it done!

Hey, good luck.

Venus favors the bold.

[Crowd] Oh.

(wind rushing)

(high pitch

(guns firing)

(crowd yelling)

Sh*t.

Wow!

How awesome was that?

Ladies and gentlemen,

Tyler Conway

is our new Play-a-Pro champion!

Tyler's gonna take home a

tricked-out new game rig,

compliments of our sponsors,

Good Game and Asus.

Not bad, not bad!

A little wild for my taste.

You caught me off

guard a few times.

Had this been a real game,

I would have destroyed you.

(crowd oohing)

(mic thudding)

Hey, congratulations.

Impressive.

Thank you.

(light electronic music)

(crowd cheering and clapping)

If yours is a crime

Then mine is a game

[Kate] Congrats.

I'm Kate.

You from around here?

[Tyler] Yeah.

I live upstairs at my

parent's restaurant.

So your parents

own a restaurant?

Used to.

It's mine now.

The Conway Canteen.

Fancy.

Yeah, but, I have no

idea what to do with it.

You could cook amazing

food and sell it to people.

I mean, that's what I

would do if I were you.

(laughing)

You could be onto something.

I should probably get going.

Hi, babe.

Hey.

[Announcer] Attention players,

network will be shutting

off in 10 minutes.

Please disconnect

all peripherals

and exit accordingly.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah.

The new gear looks fantastic.

Can't wait to show it off.

Yeah, especially Jonathan.

Are you kidding me?

Well, congratulations.

You are the new official

drink of Team Nefarious.

(drink fizzing)

And we'll leave the

empties on the table

so the camera can see it.

It's gonna be beautiful.

Okay, bye-bye.

(phone hanging up)

Will you work with

me a little bit?

You get 200 bucks for

just for wearing the hat.

I'm not wearing

that, all right?

Or the pants.

I'm okay with the shades,

but screw the pants.

Jonathan, it's a good deal.

Shut up, Steve.

We get it.

You're still pissed

from getting beat.

Beginner's luck.

Nah, that Conway kid

is no beginner, man.

10,000 hours.

98% win rate.

He's not playing scrubs

to get those numbers.

Yeah, maybe you could

learn something from him.

I know what I'm doing.

Well, he certainly

doesn't have your 27 years

of experience to draw on.

Look, in case you forgot,

I pull in fans.

See, without me, you

don't have a show.

You know what?

I want $1,000 a day

to put on that sh*t!

And grow some balls, dick!

(door opening and closing)

(hitting monitor)

(keyboard clicking)

(game beeping)

[Australian Gamer] Pulse.

Where you been, mate?

Out in the real world.

[Australian Gamer]

Reality sucks.

Who else is up?

Crock, you there?

Sh*t.

He's AFK.

(light electronic music)

Game update.

Server hasn't been patched yet.

Can't connect.

[Australian Gamer] Wrecked.

(phone buzzing)

Hello?

Tyler Conway?

Richard Brixton.

We should talk.

Oh, I get the thrill,

prowling in strange worlds,

stalking your enemy,

choosing the right weapon,

making a clean kill.

It's awesome.

I was just lousy at it.

I never had that hand-eye,

whatever it is, I don't know.

I did always have

an eye for talent.

You rep Jonathan Spencer.

There's a new breed in town.

Kids who've been

playing Sony Playstation

since before they could walk.

Sound familiar?

It was Xbox, actually.

(laughing)

Right.

So, what do you think

about having someone

book some matches for you?

I have no trouble

finding a game.

I'm on lots of boards.
