Is there any money in gaming - as in the sport, not in the technology where the money is obviously limitless?
@antipodean said in Sky Sports WTF:
That being said, you can become a millionaire playing Dota2.

@antipodean I saw that, but thats not quite what I mean.
I.e - are the best players, sponsored, do teams pay players for their services etc.

The teams are sponsored. The best teams have a remuneration mix, most of which is sharing the prize money.

MR - yep, most are on a mix of salary and bonuses - I follow the Starcraft 2 scene which isn't as big as the FPS games or stuff like DOTA or Hearthstone (card game, kind of similar to Magic). A couple of years ago when SC2 was going super strong there were guys on 6 figure salaries.
I watch a bunch of streams off sites like Twitch or TeamLiquid - always something or someone entertaining to watch imo. I tend to have a stream running on one screen and be gaming or working on the other screen.
Twitch is cool as there are heaps of random folks streaming, often running a YouTube channel alongside live streaming - and making a decent living too.

@Paekakboyz Nah mate, just not a gamer. Not my thing at all.

Didn't some dude in Japan die after playing Starcraft for about 50 hours straight?
I never had any patience with that game unless I used the cheat codes.
