The amount of hours required to be good is far past a normal job, of this we can be sure and in some instances its taken to the extreme and could be 80 hours a week. Being an entertainment type game, its beyond just normal practise even training within a sport. These people can be training, playing, up until the early hours of every morning trying to squeeze in more practise.
Its also a really harsh existence as the career participation may be as little as five years before competitiveness at the top level is lost. Some might say its great pay but also it requires absolute success in order to say that and when its a team sport, you are in the hands of others who may or may not take it as seriously as you.

@op , good for you that you already know on why esports have alot of prize pools . i bet your happy now but most of us will feel sad thinking that esports players can easily become a millionaire but us that are working hard are still poor . sad 
Don't think that pro players on an esports team are not working hard to earn those big amlunt of money. Unlike ordinary gamers, they have a bootcamp where they practice for many hours a day. They study all the possibilities of that game and how to counter it. They are also going through a lot like what athletes do. I think the difference is most esport players have really the passion for games, compared to some athletes they do it mostly because it can be a big help on their future.
Don't forget that esport or other sport games need practice, skills and a lot of factor to be good in that kind or sport. And only which is best can be pick up as athlete. 
According to this article, they freaking earn a lot. Especially if they win tournaments, etc. With your article, it does make sense why the developers start their matches and putting in the prize pool because of the attraction it could get. I remember the time when I was still in college that Dota 2 was my thing and I played a lot, and then I remember the Filipino Team who made it to The International and they won a consolation prize that is worth millions. They started to get famous and just became rich in gaming. It is possible, but you need to train a lot and play a lot. Most of it would make your butt hurt for sure.

In my country, the most famous sport is soccer / football, yet I never get myself to like it.
I find eSports on the other hand more entertaining and interesting. There's also a lot of variety!

I totally wouldn't be surprised if esports becomes more popular than regular sports one day.
If we're talking audience participation its already bigger then regular sports. Thats how the prize pool is so large because the cosmetic items in the game are going towards that prize pool, its seen as raising the games profile and also encouraging more sales overall so its heavily promoted by the developers themselves.
I've been bullish on esports for at least five years. Some games are better suited then others and ideally there should be a line of cosmetic items.
Its not that massively different to real sports, where they often are wanting to start players young from the grassroots and end up on the national team at their best when adults. Theres some similarity there I think
I think if one sport were very popular, it would attract more money to come inside them and of course, that will attract more advertiser to come too, and that means, they will make a lot of money. And that will make the prize will increase too so they can give the money to the winners. Besides the player, I think they will attract more new people to take a look at the sports, and I think they will interest to join with them too.
I figured it had a lot to do with the Skins and outfits from In-Game purchases. But that is crazy Epic Games is going to fund $100,000,000 towards fortnite Competitions this next year....
Also as far as Esports gaming becoming one of the largest and most viewed sports out there that is very possible. 30 years ago kids did not sit at home and stream fortnite. Now days anyone can do it. As video games upgrade and get more futuristic I think It may very well be a #1 in the gambling industry as well!!!

More like in the 8 digits. I was quite shocked when I first saw it on TV, that they are giving away these millions for a "sport" that people play sitting down.

Esports is a real business now. Team owners are spending lots of money on their players' training and development. Players are paid with salary and all, just like how sports athletes are treated. And with prize pool on tournaments growing so rapidly, more money will be spent to improve teams.
Amazing how supportive those people who are fond with e-sports that they can all give an amount of money by buying some item on the fund raising that can be the prize pool of any tournament.
Players do not just spend money. They also receive special/unique items in return that they can use in game. So if you are a player of a certain esports, it is also beneficial on your end to support the tournament like TI.Also, the amount of bets is e-sports are all on a high value. Maybe because e-sports like DOTA or any other games is more exciting to watch or to bet because of its characters and the amount of excitement is large.
It is the same to me. If you are a fun of any sports, basketball, soccer, football, or any esports, it is always exciting to watch games or bet on your favorite teams. It is kind of interesting that esports basically have a unique way to increase tournament prize pools, simply by using the sales from within the games itself.
This makes it really unique when you compare it to physical sports tournaments.

today Esports is a big business with well-known companies acting as sponsors. that's why we can see prize pools over millions of dollars.
The fact is that the game industry is developing at a very high pace today, because the society of players is filled not only with the elderly, but also with the younger generation. Today, even video games become gambling, where you can bet, as certain tournaments are held. In addition, with the help of an online casino, through the application Even schoolchildren from their smartphones are trying to earn some money by playing gambling. If the gambling audience increases, then cash funds immediately increase.
Well nowadays most of the younger generations would choose esports rather than playing the real sports.
They would rather try to be a great esports player to make money from it in so many ways .
For example gambling,Gambling in esports are not new and it is very popular for amateurs and pro ,
Some players are also making money by streaming that is why there are so many streamers nowadays .
They are using their own game play to make some highlights and post it on different streaming platform to attract followers.
In my opinion, no type of gambling should be encouraged, either esports or real sport, if it has gambling attached then it’s not worth it. I feel really bad most of the times I watch how this younger generations get carried away with gambling and no one is concerned about telling them the bad side of the gameThey would rather try to be a great esports player to make money from it in so many ways .

In 2016 I had over 3BTCS and gradually started gambling from it, just for the sole aim of making profit but before the end of 2017 I had lost it all completely. It’s a tough and unforgettable experience and most times when I speak against gambling, it is totally out of my very bitter experience. Gambling is addictive, destructive and also not good for any individual and I mean no type of gambling at all. I believe professional gamblers are coming to attack me on this comment but I only erred my mind.
But this is not enough to be against gambling completely. Just like you lost your money, someone else gained same amount or even more, you should have known this before starting the game at all. I have been gambling, lost and as well recovered and I have no regret although I try to be smart in playing and losing such amount as yours is one mistake I definitely will never make, I can’t start asking you how it all happened and what went wrong, but if you will be honest, there must be a little trace of greed.

Dota 2, LoL, Fortnite and CS:GO are some of the top games that bring out the hype in Esports industry. These are one of the factors why game companies able to achieved a successful crowdfund. And with the birth of PUBG, which is no doubt turned out to be one of the most playable games since it's inception, it does contribute more to the exciting environment in Esports world.
Need to be lucky as well,if you want to be one among those richest gamblers.But don't get any intention to be one most likely it is not possible to happen anyway so just do if you can and see what you can make from it.
Luck is just a side factor in Esports. The competition is all about strategy.
With these in-game items, people tend to buy lots and lots of them for the sake of looks rather than their performances.
Right! Individual and group strategy coupled with strong items bought in-game (definitely the expensive items give better player boost) are big factors contributing to a team's chance of winning the eSports tournament. And if an esports bettor is smart enough to do some in-depth analysis of the opposing teams odds of winning, chances are he'll get better odds as well of winning on his bet.
Exactly, we can say it would be easy to know who will win or which team has an edge over the other, if the bettor is keen in checking the teams statistics and items then they guarantee a win. In eSports betting it is important to be smart in choosing a team don't just bet randomly because you might bet on the wrong team.
Esports Demand is really extremely high. If you are a gamer you will easily understand why they can really come up with this huge amount of money. Dota2 for example is always involving its users during the tournament.
They will release new products that will drive the gamers mindset extremely crazy. By that you can easily gets their attention while they also interact with your said tournament. They buy stuffs from your games like premium membership so they can get awesome rewards while the 75% of that sales goes directly to the prize pool. It will also let users want to engage in the tournament for their rewards as they also do betting.
It is a both win win situation from the dev to gamers
