Title: Playing The Game: How Much ESports Players Really Make

URL: http://www.alistdaily.com/media/playing-the-game-how-much-esports-players-really-make/

Description: In this article, author H.B. Duran shows the true amount of money a professional e-sport gamers can make. The revenue of an e-sports player varies on skill level, and many other factors. While for some of the bigger e-sport's prize pools are in the millions, players who lose still need to make money, so these people turn to a live-streaming service called Twitch where they can gain subscribers for their channel for as little as $5 a month. Most of the time, the streamers get half of that. So for example, at 2,000 subscribers a month that's an extra $5,000 a month. That's just the tip of the iceberg on income for professional players.
