Okay so , this is not related to Blizzard , its Valve. Its just great to see that gaming is now a "career" where you can earn a million dollars , just win the game then you're a millionaire!.

So heres a video i found in valve's channel.

"Life of a gamer"
"Games is... Everything"
"This is just perfect. A life story. The best thing I best documentary I have ever seen and... I just love it. Everything is so perfect."
"OMG, that prize :0"

This video really inspire me to play harder :D Do everything , no rules!


I wish i will become a professional gamer someday ;)

Guys , everyone , tell me whats your country/nationality (Im just curious) :).
 
Those rewards are pretty hefty. But it is distributed among a team, and usually the eSport team company gets some, and then if you live in America, it is taxed pretty crazily.

During Blizzcon, the 3v3 team got $100k, but that was distributed among 3 and taxed, so each ended up with about $20k-25k, which is pretty much going to be used to pay for university/student loans. It is definitely possible to become a pro gamer, but make sure you have something else on the side. ;)

It would definitely be fun though, apart from the pressure. I'm from U.S. btw.
