It is definitely a young mans game as the time commitment is immense.. if you aren't earning it isn't really feasible for a family lifestyle. I used to scrim with some professional CS teams back in the early 2000's and I have a good buddy who did it for a living while getting his finance degree. Seeing the level of dedication was pretty intense, but then again this goes for any sport. As Royle9 says you get to experience a lot of different things and some of them were good enough to travel the world doing it. The ones I know were either not good enough to do it for long or were smart enough to get out early and attain something while doing so..

Entertaining to watch though and I hope it keeps growing as a sport.
