- hybrid11 15y agoDon't forget, they get paid a salary + sponsorship on top of the earnings from tournaments
- kapnobatairza 15y agoVery few get paid salary.
- colonelxc 15y agoEven if they're not being paid much of a salary, anyone who lives in a team house doesn't have much in terms of costs (no rent or utilities, and probably most of their food is provided). What this means is that the mid-tier pro's might not be putting much money into the bank, but they also are living comfortably.
- kapnobatairza 15y agoDepending on the team, the pro is actually required to pay a "live-in" fee to the team house, in addition to portions of any income through winnings and/or streaming. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are slaves or anything, but it is not exactly glamourous either - even for those that make it to a team house. Long hours, modest living, dorm/frat house type housing with very little privacy... Unless you are talking about EG / the EG house which seems to provide quite well for their pros.
- spamizbad 15y agoThere's streaming revenue as well.

- tsotha 15y agoIt's like most 2nd tier individual sports. There are a handful of people making pretty good money at the very top. The rest of the pros are just barely hanging on, hoping to get into that top handful.
