Aside from the salaries. I am looking for good sources, and information on the topic. (I'll have a large section on Korean e-sports). Credible academic sources prefered, although given the lack of such information, websites and articles can work too Many Thanks! | ||

There are other games besides SC, like Kart Rider, and I guess there are (many?) others too, but I don`t know what further games are played professional. | ||

But with the free agency thing going around, the salaries are probably going to drastically increase. | ||

I remember reading somewhere that a lot of progamers are recruited by day-traders because of their quick hand-eye reflexes and apm on computers. Also a lot seem to be doing well at poker lately. | ||
