Lol at people saying this is actually great. They are cherry picking the players. And even that it's only the average, so you know the top heavy guys are dragging it up.

Basically it's not a great way to make a living unless you are a top dog.

Without stating what kind of average we are speaking of, it is impossible for us to know about what the 'average' person, i.e. what most of the Kespa players are making. If 45k is the median, than most progamers on the Kespa teams are doing quite well. If it is the mean on the other hand, there could easily be some players taking a majority of the salary Kespa is bragging about. I hope it is the median, but I just wanted to point out that this number could be quite misleading. One of the most basic ways to 'lie with statistics.'

However, I am glad that at least a few people are doing pretty well (career level salary well) for themselves in SC 2 esports in Kespa. I very much hope we are talking about the median, as that seems much more sustainable. SC2 tournaments are so top heavy already, if other money coming in is arranged similarly then it seems like we will have less of an incentive for people to become progamers.
