I was... loosely (very loosely) considering altering my stance on going pro as a League player, now that Japan is starting to pick up the game a little. I just wondered if it was worth the investment of time. Does anyone know the rough figures for a League pro's earnings, yearly? From the game alone, this is.
Faker is the highest paying League player, maybe even the highest paying esports player if I'm correct from what I've read
ESPN Survey: Average NA LCS player salary approximately $105K, EU salary $81K
With the franchising next year pros will be earning 70k a year disregarding tournament money. While that may not be that impressive, keep in mind the get food, shelter, insurance, psychologists, internet, high end gaming gear, all for free.
