Ya that's what I was wondering too. I guess this gives him long-term security since after a study visa you either have to find employment or have to straight up leave the country before re-appling for a visa (depending on what kind of visa you get).

I wonder if this means he'll continue his studies or put those on hold.
He obtained this visa so he could suspend his studies and completely focus on his professional career.

Long term visa security / travel assurance, cuz like I mentioned student visa's don't transition well into other visas once you finish your designated term of schooling which could limit his ability to travel to the US after he's done with school.

But the government didn't recognize him as a "Professional Gamer" because that has no legal meaning in the US. They recognized him as an "athlete". Sure pro gamer is more accurate, but it doesn't do anything for him. I believe that was his point. The term shouldn't be athlete when it encompasses a lot more than that. Chess, poker, gamers, fishing, dressage etc. are all not athletes in the original sense of the word. It should be competitor or something similar. That would avoid every discussion turing into "lol, not athletes"
The original sense of the word athlete -> The word "athlete" is a romanization of the Greek: άθλητὴς, athlētēs, one who participates in a contest; from ἂθλος, áthlos, or ἂθλον, áthlon, a contest or feat.
