The funny part is that he kinda sucks at League of Legends. I could beat him and I am no where near a pro player level. He is not ranked very high and when I have watched him play he reminds of most of the people who stream on twitch (girls who suck at the game but are popular for big boobs.)
That said this is kind of a funny article and its good to joke around. Plus Hayward wants to be an all-star one day. Take it from Chris Bosh, (Toronto days) to be an all-star from a less popular team you need to get some attention.
Being a pro-gamer in LOL right now is a pretty awesome gig. Not quite up there with being a pro basketball or football player but up there with the other sports.
