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. | ||

The barrier to entry is really quite low Barrier to entry quite low? WHAT? # of lawyers in the world? Millions. Your chances of becoming a lawyer if you are absolutely dedicated to it are probably over 50%. # of progamers in the world? Hundreds. There are loads of gamers all over the world that play for 6 hours a day, some taking it very seriously and striving to become the best, but only the top 0.01% will ever succeed. Edit: But if you meant in terms of startup costs I see your point. $20 for broodwar, $70 for a good mouse vs $50 000 for tuition and $5000 for books. | ||
