Being a former low-end pro...
It really depends on how you train. Person A spends 4 hours a day, for two years. He becomes really good, but only semi-pro, because he plays for fun. Person B spends 2 hours a day, for one year. He becomes one of the top professionals.
It's happened before. SpawN from SK-Gaming become CPL in two years from what I remember.
For multiplayer FPS games, it takes teamwork. I remember how bad a top pro was at aiming, but he's a to pro and I am not, because of their team.
For single player FPS, it's all about the aim, and understanding how to control the recoil. Three bullet bursts doesn't always work.
For RTS, it's basically the order and timing of what you build. It's also how you manage your armies to attack your opponents.
Sports, it's all practice and skill. Most sports are 1v1, so it's all on how you play.
RPG, it's understanding the timing of cool-downs and of the effects of spells/abilities.
Seriously, for most of the games, a lot of people could probably do decently in an open tournament. But you have to remember that the professionals for those games played for like 5+ years.
For Counter-strike Specifically, it's teamwork. It's probably one of the few games that most people can't just go into an open tournament. Quake(or was it Unreal) is 1v1, so it's all skill on aiming. But Counter-strike will always change because of the team.
Games are like sports. It's mostly teamwork for the games that have more than one player. But for the 1v1, it's all on skill. Think of games like sports.
They're exactly the same except sports is physical, and games utilize more of the brain than sports (not saying that sports doesn't use at all). Other than that, tourneys are run pretty much the same as sports. And in the CGS, there's even drafts, etc.
More to come prolly.

Good question. If you figure this one out I will stop yelling at my husband for playing them so much. Sorry, I'm no help. All I could guess is there are tournaments you can enter and play other people (like the madden tournament held every year) and if you win you get to move up

First, the gamers dedicated their whole time playing games and progress their level from there. Then, if they have a chance to find a sponsor for a particular gaming company, let say Nintendo, they could be employed as a pro. Or else they go to formal training in College in Games,Simulation and Programs.

Constant play....and different companies offer tournaments in different cities and you compete from city to city. I have also heard of over night tournements. And of course the winners go on to the next level. If you do these type things I consider that to be a PRO.

Go to a decent Polytechnic institute. Here in the US there is a good one in NY. RPI or Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Don't do one of those short education programs. The field is way to competitive. I would learn as much as I could about 3D modeling, animation, and some basic programming. There are also a lot of things out there to help you start making games now.

I guess by playing it every chance they get, and actually using other options on the games. Using everything available on and for the game.

thats an easy one. They play it so much that they end up developing reflexes movements, faster fingers, and instinctive knowledge of what do in a given situation. Its all about just playing and playing and playing.

All you have to do is practice the game, once you play it for so long you get better and better.
Keep Practicing!!
