Due to the growing economic outlook for video gaming sports, which continues to attract both fans and increasing advertisers, eSport stars may be getting rewarded just as handsomely as pro athletes in traditional sports. According to one trend report, eSports could reach revenues as high as US$2.4 billion by 2020.
This popularity also opens up more opportunities to compete on the professional level and earn huge endorsements, prize money and salaries just like LeBron James, Serena Williams, Danica Patrick or Sidney Crosby. In fact, higher education eSports programs are already launching across the country and college scholarships are now commonplace, further acknowledging the economic viability and social acceptability of this phenomenon.
