Here is Destiny's AMA on Reddit from a year ago talking about how much he earns streaming/teaching (3.5K+1.5K) per month http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/g7q91/iam_destiny_i_quit_my_job_to_play_starcraft_2_for/ http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/g7q91/iam_destiny_i_qu... Keep in mind a few things. Destiny is a pretty good player, in fact at one point he was so well known for his control of Infestors (a unit from the Zerg race) that a lot of Koreans knew of him (and his reputation) because of that alone. He also is a Grandmaster at Starcraft, meaning he is in the top 200 of his region (there are 5 I believe, Americas, Europe, Korean/Taiwan, China, SE Asia). So even if he was the worst Grandmaster he is at least one of the 1000 best Starcraft 2 players in the entire world. However it would probably be very hard for him to ever crack this tournament earnings list mainly because he is at the level that is way better than average players, but not better than the top players. I'm not hating on the guy, but I think for the most part that is true. Even with his training in Korea it's still going to be pretty hard for him to gain a lot of ground on the Koreans mainly because their society accepts that playing Starcraft as a competition/sport. With that being said, he mentions (from a year ago) that he earns 3.5K streaming with an additional 1.5K from teaching. That is ~60K a year from that alone. That is pretty decent money but still not something I'd quit my day job over. Then you have to keep in mind any traveling costs to compete at tournaments, the hours and hours devoted to keeping up your skill level and the fact that there are fewer SC2 players now than there were a year ago so he may not be earning as much from streaming.
