I played two entirely different video games professionally for multiple years. That is, I traveled around the country often on a sponsor's dollar and competed in video game tournaments for money. I believe I can provide good insights into professional gaming. If you want to know more just ask!
I'm now lead developer at LiveNinja an internet startup that I will shamelessly promote here.
I'm currently finishing my Master's degree in Computer Science. Once I graduate gaming-related work area is a real possibility.

Honestly, I don't know. I don't live in the city so there aren't any around me. I think they still exist but, are far more rare than they once were.

Honestly, so far I haven't heard too much hype for the PS4, so I guess it could live up to the hype. I won't be in line for the PS4. I've never gotten a console on release date. Games are nice to have on release date because those first few days where everyone is still learning the game can be some of the most exciting, but I normally hold off on consoles until they have a few games I'd actually want.

I'm partial towards LoL, but I'm bad at RTS games so that factors in a lot.

Black ops is a team game so he'll have to find a team. He can do that by playing wiht a group of friends or going on forums finding a team looking for players and trying out. If he played with a group of friends it can be a lot of fun, but he has to have a good group of friends that are able to play a lot and around the same skill level. If he were to try out online they'd play a few games with him online and then if they thought he fit with them they'd add him to the team. I generally find teams that assemble this way do better than groups of friends.
After he has a team he needs to actually do some tournaments. There are lots of online tournaments he can play. If you live in a big city there are likely some local tournaments you can find too. His success in those tournament are the stats you should watch for. If he does well in them he should try going to major national/international tournaments. That said there is likely going to be a good bit of losing before there is winning. That's just how it goes. Going to tournaments and losing still can be a great learning experience.

It varies a bit game to game but, basically the big cities and population centers in the us. Your best bet is finding a forum for competitve play in your game and they will have tournaments listed. There are often lots of local tournaments for a game and then major tournaments that the top teams/players go to. The top tournaments are at various cities.
