One thing that I'm kind of curious about if it isn't just a bubble and is as lucrative as they say and legit compared to other pro sports... so in todays pro-corporate climate will the 'nerds' ever start getting paid like other pro athletes? Think of all the big hands reaching into the cookie jar - big tech, game publishers, and now super rich owners like the Aquilini's diving in... the actual talent is going to have a huge uphill battle to be left with anything more than the crumbs, relatively speaking.

Some pros make a fair bit. I think Doublelift's salary in League of Legends is 7 figures which isn't much compared to modern athletes but before the NHL really grew salaries were much smaller than they are now. Top streamers on Twitch make 7 figures as well IIRC.
