I know this as a fact, as it happens every time I stream and play a strong a player that attracts parts of their viewership to my stream. My definition is, someone who lives off of tournament winnings. Which means i qualify by my own definition. Yet people cant respect that lol... | ||

In my opinion, someone who supports themselves with the game, and no outside job, would be classified as a progamer. | ||

Anyways, I don't think the defination of what a progamer is matters, what matters is a player distinguishing himself from the rest of the field. This can can come from results or exceptional streaming, until then it's a rather useless defination. Its not like saying "I am progamer" or "that person is a progamer" elevates their status as a gamer. | ||
