Meet the Shropshire gamer winning big at international competitions:
Jake has travelled around the world to compete in games watched by hundreds of thousands onlineJake Brown was eight when he discovered a passion for gaming - now 22, his hobby has seen him travel the world and get paid thousands in the process.In February, Jake, from Shropshire, competed in the Six Invitational - a world championship in Canada where his then team, Heroic, won $55,000.
As part of a team he began earning 100 euros a month, but after being signed to fellow German esports organisation Cowana, his earnings spiralled as his team shot up the leagues. Mum Nicky Brown said: "I was one of the mums that was 'get off your game and get out into the real world'. In the run up to events, he trains for 12 hours a day, which Jake said had an impact on his social life.
Some games, Jake said, are switching from a meritocracy - where teams are able to rise up the leagues via promotions like he did - to an American model where the best teams play each other without jeopardy.
