An Ulster Xbox fan who quit his job and sold his belongings to play in a major TV tournament has won a $30,000 contract and become one of the UK's first full-time professional gamers.
Jason Holmes, from Seaforde, Co Down, took the dramatic step in order to "make his dream come true" and travel to the Championship Gaming Series in Birmingham.
After a nerve-wracking final in London, Jason - who is known by the alias Neo Jake - was selected as one of the top 20 gamers and asked to join the Birmingham Salvo team.
He has now won a $30,000 contract to play professionally around the world.
In November, Jason will travel to Los Angeles to compete at the World Final.
"I am going there to win. I am really looking forward to competing against other world-class gamers," he said.
