Lilac0r delves deep into the realms of the football manager's obsessive disorder as he steps foot into a professional FM gamer's basement. There's a new sport in the horizon, and nobody cares if you're fat, ugly, dumb or unfit here. In a server basement somewhere in Germany a group of future athletes are training hard while they wait for a new era.

You've probably once or twice in your life seen athletes, football players or horses in the Olympics and thought: I wish I was that good in a sport. But then you realize that you are too old, unfit and perhaps also too dumb to start becoming a sports athlete. But as I've recently found out, there's still a hope for you. There's a new sport in the horizon, and nobody cares if your fat, ugly, dumb or unfit here. In a server basement somewhere in Germany a group of future athletes are training hard while they wait for a new era. An era of professional FM players. I've literally gone underground to find more about this odd community. And for the first time ever, I've also been lucky enough to get an interview with one of the founding fathers of this community, who wants to remain anonymous.

The training equipment are here to give the professional FM-players an idea about what the players in the game are actually training on their training schedules.

 Q: Okay, so let's say that an average guy left his friends and family to play FM in your basement. Where should he start? Any tips?
