You're honestly being ridiculous. Just because you know one pro-gamer that manages his own finances (whom you can't even really seem to name, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt) doesn't mean all pro-gamers do. I know for a fact most do not, and it makes sense, because unlike Overwatch or LoL, BW pros start at a very young age, its not uncommon for them to be playing professionally as young as age 15, are you really gonna tell me a 15 year old is capable of managing his finances? I would surprised if most 15 years would even have a real bank account let alone understand how the laws behind a cryptocurrency contract work.
Secondly, you're "argument" that because you're a banker and is multilingual automatically means that broodwar pros should also be able to learn university level economics/finance in their free time is plain stupid. Kespa era broodwar was notorious for having ridiculous practice hours like 16 hours per day level practice hours. It's basically a full time job and a life commitment in many ways, there is no way for them to have the time to learn much else to any significant degree during that period of time. So when a successful player like flash decides to retire from the kespa style pro-gaming with a large amount of disposable income, you can bet that he/she would invest a portion of their money into something they might not understand but may turnover high returns.
Thirdly, yes Lebron is a good at marketing himself, but a lot of athletes and public figures are not, its why they have PR managers. Celebrities use them, politicians use them, and yes KESPA teams also used them to market their players, its common practice really. You keep trying to bring up the few outliers but that's exactly what they are outliers. Hell even Conor McGregor has a PR manager.
Fourthly, have you ever read a formal contract? Like go try to take a bank loan or something and have a read, but I can guarantee you the jargon can throw off a lot of people unfamiliar with the terminology and they would likely need to clarify a few questions with the banking staff or at the very least spend some time googling. Now try to imagine some veteran scam artist maybe approaching your mum or something showing her a chart of bitcoin prices or w/e and then smooth talking her into the idea of investing while guarantee a cost free way to hedge any risks. Do you really expect a pro-gamer's mum will instantly understand the fine details or legality on a cryptocurrency contract? Maybe your mum's a genius but I can tell you even veteran investors get caught in the fine details.
I don't get why you seem so obsessed about lynching famous pro-gamers, but seriously are you even sure you know the whole story here?
