not my thing
I was watching some fps e-sport repaly with commentary, the commentator mentioned that one guy has been up the entire last night and playing really good and said "what a warrior". He was serious. Made me chuckle and I closed it down. I also hate how some people get that "boss" attittude because their game was broadcasted one time on a website or they make 50 bucks a week playing games. Its like they own the world.
May be I had bad experience

Sorry for double post, but you're living in the past. SC2 has multiple big tournaments a year with 100,000 simultanous viewers each. It's not TV-level numbers, but more than successful for an Internet broadcast. Also the pro players make more than 50 a week. Yeah, there's some people who claim they are pro who just do any tournament they can find, but they are not pro. Pro players are on teams with sponsors, coaches, and management just like any real sport. On the low end they make $8,000 a year, but on the high end they can make $500,000 a year. It's really growing. Even with only $8,000, they get free food, water, shelter, medical, transportation. They don't have too many expenses. It's like having $600 a month you can spend on whatever you want or save for retirement. I think a lot of people would love to have $600 spending cash per month.
