5 Things You Didn't Know About Pro Gamers


 

AskMen.com has a cool article up about Pro Gamers. It was my dream, and probably the dream of around a hundred thousand other children at the time to all become Pro Gamers or Game Testers, and it looks like some people, like Fatal1ty are living that dream.

1 – You can make serious bank
2 – Cyber athletes are famous
3 – The youngest competitor is 7 years old
4 – They have agents
5. The World Cyber Games are modeled after the Olympics

Lucky people…

    $400-500k for the winner, but how much for the hundreds of losers? In pro sports, you get a comfortable salary (over $100k) even if you stay on the bench all the time. In gaming, you’re literally a winner or a loser… and there’re hundreds of losers for every winner.

    Country like South Korea where it has the most broadband connection population in the world,
    so called ‘E-sport’ is really happening.

    There is an actual game league going on where there are bunch of pro gamers playing against each other and it’s being broadcasted thru dedicated game channel every single day.

    They belong to profesionally game team and get paid regular salary PLUS those game prize money you mentioned.

    They get tons of endorsement from IT companies
    like Samsung electronice and that’s another
    source for HUGE income.

    Because most of audiances for this game league
    and channels are young people who are really
    into these new cutting edge cell phones and stuff, it is very much worth for high-tech company to endorse these professional gamers.

    Top players makes way more than a mil. per
    year.

    The game league are beingn watched by hundreds of thousand people everyday, and important game matches are being held in huge dorm
    where thousands people attand to watch the game, hundreds of cutties cheering for male
    players.(yes, you can be rich and cool for
    playing lots of computer game in this place!)

    :-)
