Privileges of being an esports/streamer
So I was wondering what privileges an esports player or a streamer (like bjergsen, gosu) would have

Well, for one, you get to play video games for a living.
However, while video games are a lot of fun, these guys play it for a living. If you're considering getting into e-sports, League of Legends isn't a game anymore. It has to be your life - your profession. You have to spend hours to outshine people who have the same dream as you - to be the best. You have to throw away everything else to become the best in this game.
Not only that, but you'll also suffer from massive amounts of hate on social media.
If you're willing to go through that, then go ahead and go for it.
I highly suggest against it, imo. Only a few can actually make it, and those people are talented at playing video games.
I think streamers like qtpie or oddone have it better than most pros. But the risk is greater. And the average streamer makes less.
But you are your own boss. And it really is just about playing. Being informative or entertaining.
You can pretend to have depression so that people give you money.
