Is it someone who earn money to play the game? (Gold player who teach bronze league could earn a lot if he's a good coach and know how to sell himself/herself).
Is it someone who play and achieve high rank in tournament?
Is it someone who's widely known by the community?
My definition would be "To be paid to play in a respected clan".
Btw, it's a bit like how to define a pianist? I mean, I've played in some weddings (got paid for) and enjoy playing. I've also taught people.. but I don't consider myself a pianist. If I was in a band who'd pay me to play (even if I was less good!), I think I'd say I'm a pianist.
What do you think?
I ask that because I often see gamers such as CatZ being asked "Do you want to become a pro-gamer like Idra or Destiny IIRC". I'm sure someone can link the video of Catz being mad to that question xD

pro gamer would be someone who makes money for playing games
coaches are paid to coach, not to play
|
I think the definition is pretty strait forward. Pro or professional meaning it is something you do for a living. Really even if you are making money off of it then I would say you are a professional gamer. Doesn't have to be tournament money either. It could just as easily be income from streaming.

somebody who plays the game professionally (i.e., for a living).

Paid to play. That's about it.

agreed, but too simplistic. i won a $5 tournament once (4th place), but i am nowhere near progamer. you have to be someone who can sustain your lifestyle off the money. if you can't, you are not a professional player in my mind.

Pro, short for professional, as in, this is their profession. You are a pro gamer when playing the game is your job. You are semi-pro when your income is not mostly based from playing starcraft2. This is the same as a pro hockey player, a pro volleyball player. Any other person who isnt playing as a professional is considered recreational, even if you are in grandmasters and spend unhealthy amounts of time on this game.
Kazie is incorrect. You can be a pro through coaching if it is your entire means of income and you consider it a job. You would be a pro coach.

Some one who takes the game seriously, who respects the competition and the opponents.
|
Someone whose sole income is Starcraft II.
Also they don't probe rush.
|
Someone who obeys all the rules =D.

Pro-gamer - someone who pursues a game, trains and practices. It is basically their occupation.
|
Simple - Those who have a progaming license
|
IF you make a living off playing, you are by definition a pro-gamer. You may get paid winning minor tournaments but that doesn't make you a pro. By definition, professional means it is your main source of income.
|
Someone, whom is paid to do what he is; gamer - as the way of making a living.
