It all depends on how popular the sport is among the viewers.  This is where all the advertisement and sponsorship money comes into play.  For example the WNBA actually loses money because very few people even watch it and the budget is subsidized by the NBA.
Exactly as WNBA seems to be boring though the players are effort full in providing actions to the viewers to enjoy yet wasn’t enough and still advertisers will decide on how they’ll put money to gain more publicity and that’s how the prizes growing and growing now in esports ..
Well the game is pretty cool to keep the audience seated till the end like the Toronto Raptors did couple of weeks ago. This is simple rule. You have huge costumers in the market and your prize pool goes over millions. And yes, the average salary of each player in the WNBA is more than what the average man makes in the market so why not to stay in the game and enjoy the luxury?

I know it already but the crowdfunding part is the thing that I don't know to be honest. That is why eSport games like Dota 2, LOL, Mobile Legends wants you to use your money to buy some amazing items on the game.


I have played some eSports games already and the players spend more than 8 hours playing just to be a pro player. Yes the money they got is way higher compare to a regular employee but the time they spend is longer. Overall, it is worth it because you can be popular around the world and at the same time get a huge salary.


It only worth the time and money if the player really wanted to become pro and join contests. He also should defy the odds of the same pro players with the same goal of winning the pot price. But sometimes, those gamers who put all their time playing just wants to kill time and enjoy wasting money without any goals at all.
There's different perspectives from each gamer they have their own goals while playing and participating with this types of games, some might just killing time and just purely enjoying their stay inside the sites playing, while others are really trying to achieved more than that and wanted to be well known and join competitions which have a good chances to win a lots of money, aside from enjoying chances also to win is one of their aims.
There are players whose considered pro or already joining up tournaments do still have that kind of enjoyment mindset.Not minding
too much with the prize as long he do play as part of his passion and prizes are only second priority but majority of them would target out
on making money yet you do engage on things you do like plus having the chance to make money.Then who would be the one to refuse such thing?

You call them gamers and you say that they are killing their time and waste their money without goals? You're contradicting yourself. Their goal is to play games, they are wasting their time? For you maybe but for them, they are not. There are a lot of streamers on the internet that you don't even know and they are earning money through it so I don't think you can say that they are wasting their time and money. Also, the team is the ones paying that player to play so I think they would not invite a player if that is worth their time and money, right? You make no sense at all.

Advertisers and in game item sales makes the prize pool. Before, the e-sports industry isn't that big. If you are in the mid's of twenties, I'm sure that you are able to cope up the glory days of counter strike 1.3/1.6 days.

And the prize pool that's being at stake there is just through sponsors and advertisers. But now, it's massive, the gaming industry is a booming industry, from advertisers, sponsorships and also a percentage from in-game sales.

I laughed a bit when he said that.

I like to play games and I like to call myself a gamer for some reasons because I'm spending some time playing and get some experiencing. Maybe for these players and streamers, playing games is part of their life already and it is their passion to play. Aside from playing, they are earning from it as a streamer. It is not a waste of time and money for them because the return for them will be higher.

No, they aren't killing time after choosing to get into the professional scene. Professional e-sports players are like athletes that dedicated most of their time and life to the chosen sport. Do you think those sports athletes are just killing time and enjoy wasting money without any goals?
You are looking to them as if e-sports pro scene is just all about killing time.

thats right . its not what you call wasting/killing time but that is already thier profession  . they dont also waste thier money but they earn money thru playing because pro players have a sponsors  . infact they even earn more salary than any other regular jobs out there , so dont under estimate pro gamers  . there are items that we can buy on games but i think the purpose on why they make those items is also for the profit and not to add on the prize pool  . prize pool is i think sponsored
There are some group of people who really works for this purpose, they play to have fun and to received salary from their sponsors. I saw this on many groups of gamblers, of course if a capitalist saw your skills and potential in gambling they will hire you to play for them. The prize pool becomes millions to attract players, sometimes those who won that prize are also part of the owner of the casinos.

I understand people that have no passion and don't understand the whole e-sports scene. They are merely thinking that it's about wasting time and money but they haven't scene that it's the same as the sponsorship that professional team has.

More time they spend but as long as they are happy with what they are doing then its good Smiley. More time = pro player + more salary for them Cheesy.

Are you sure we only need 8+ hours to become expert in esports ? I do not think any can become an expert in only 8-10 hours.
It may take many days, weeks or months when a player can become perfect.
I've said that in my post before yours that it's impossible to get into the pro-scene by just playing 8 hours in total of your lifetime career. Pro e-sports has been dedicating most of their time and 8 hours is their daily dose.
8 hours everyday just to practice and to become better so it's either they just mistold that it's 8 hours of daily dose or they really were saying that it's just about 8 hours to become pro.
Mate, what kind of life is that for one to spend 8 hours of his or her time a day on game just to simply become a pro, is that the only game that we have in the whole world, I doubt if there will be any serious family person that will do that even if the goal is to make money, and the money we are even talking about is not something that is certain because anything gambling and betting is just a pure game of luck.

The only people you will mostly find doing this are people that does not have work to do or serving anyone, or students that are still in school, and even as a student, the only time he can spare is a time for holidays. I am going to take out time one day to really be sure that esport requires up to 8 hours playing it.
I guess you are not really into e-sports huh? to give you an idea and example you may want to watch and search about success stories of teams and players of Dota 2 and CS:GO. In reality, there really are professional e-sports players and I understand that there are people that are not aware of it and still can't believe that it's now a daily job and a career that can make a living out of it.
For people that doesn't watch too much news nor being updated on latest tech trends will missed out Esports popularity.

There are lots of true story of players on youtube which the thing you have said was right where even those people do make a living
with just playing some games on their entire life. Grin
Yeah that's why I'm telling him to watch those success stories of those teams that came from nothing to glory. If that's not enough, the media is also aware on how much this industry has.

I have played some eSports games already and the players spend more than 8 hours playing just to be a pro player. Yes the money they got is way higher compare to a regular employee but the time they spend is longer. Overall, it is worth it because you can be popular around the world and at the same time get a huge salary.

I'm pretty sure it takes more than 8 hours to be a pro player man!
It's more like players are honing their skills from since they were kids in order to reach a pro level.
Yeah more than 8 hours to be a professional player.

They need more time to become a professional player, and I don't think they can reach it for 8 hours or day because they need to play the game all day, never stop. If many people know about that, I think they will change their jobs to become a pro player because the salary will bigger to them than if they work in the office Grin

That would be one hell of a natural talent, some people do progress far fast then others but I think 6 months is the fast time scale and most would wonder if this person is cheating to rise up so fast.
    I think Stewie from CSGO is the player I saw grow fastest but there has been a few, some lose track at the top level and never truely make it.

Most people have to devote most of their life to get the results and then its only for a while that they can compete at the top.
