One lucky winner will be chosen to receive a professional gamer-equivalent starting salary. The contest offers $50k to fund the winner's gap year. In addition, the winner of the Drop Year will receive a best-in-class game room makeover, as well as access to a curated panel of pro-gaming mentors for advice and guidance. To remain hydrated all year, MiO is also giving out a year's supply of its products.
