  2. Not only big in South Korea by andyrut · · Score: 1 · on Paid to Play Video Games

    I guess gaming must be really big in South Korea, otherwise I don't see why you should sponsor people.

    Such sponsorships are not limited to South Korea; there is a great deal of cash to be made in professional gaming all over the world...if you're good enough. It's not really being paid just "to play video games," any more than professional athletes are paid millions of dollars just "to play sports." It takes a great deal of talent and practice to get on a high-level team and make a living out of it.

    There are a number of prominent professional gaming teams such as Team 3D (U.S.A), Schroet Kommando (Sweden), and mibr (Brazil) who are phenomenal at Counter-Strike. They have sponsors from all sorts of computing-related industries, such as mousepads, video cards, game hosting companies, motherboards, and more.

  3. Pro gaming is more than here by bdsgeekboys · · Score: 2, Informative · on Pro Gamers Can't Scrape By?
    SK (Schroet Kommando) was founded 1997 in Germany. From 1997 to 2003 SK has developed to become the biggest and most famous eSport team in the world. With divisions and players from a multiple of countries. During the last 12 months, we have earned over 150 000 Euro in cash prices from tournaments around the world, that is a lot more than any other team out there. We are competing in games such as Counter-Strike, Warcraft III, Unreal Tournament 2003 and FIFA. In the last year we have also expanded to becoming one of the biggest communites in the world, with over 130 000 members.

    Our players have had salaries for over a year. We have also had great success in selling access to special futures on our web site (called SK Insider). Last but not least we have a merchandise concept which also works great.

    Pro gaming is more than here.

    My team, Schroet Kommando is sponsored by Intel and Elsa. We participate in tournaments with everything from $50,000 to $250,000 in cash prizes.

    The whole team is also signed with contracts and all the players even have salary.

    Pro gaming is here right now.
