Should have clarified: fastest growing in terms of players, not income or viewership. In terms of audience, MMA is growing like crazy.

I got involved with tournament organizing as an ITG player. I felt like I had some good ideas to make tournament flow better, both in terms of format and day-of logistics, so I decided to start doing them myself. Turns out I was pretty good at it (and I liked doing it a whole lot), so I did it for a long time! The scene was entirely community-driven - there was nearly no official support from the game creators, so I ran forums, designed content, and drove the entire party bus. I found lots of ways to apply that skill - lots of competitive hobbies, and lots of smaller jobs where I got to run leagues and tournaments. Then I got super hooked on LoL, Riot opened the position, and everything fell into place. Feels good, man.
