some of the difficulties faced by professional gamers are the lack of direct money, since you only get paid a lot of money when you win, as well as that because the idea of eSport is still relatively new and generally for younger people, they are often faced with open hostility and backlash from their family, and the relative newness opens it up to the young players being exploited or otherwise taken advantage of. There is also a lack of girls in the professional gaming scene and while that number is slowly growing it is even harder for them to get a start in the industry.(1)
most of a professional gamers earnings come from winning where prizes can go up to 25K for an individual or over a million for multiplayer teams. the highest earning professional gamer is a player who goes by ppd who has made in total $2,172,940.76 us. that is over 53 tournaments over 5
years.(2)
the earnings can also come from signing with sponsors. This is one way the player can be taken
advantage of. they may also stream or use youtube to earn extra money. (3)
