I mean at least there isn't a size barrier or physical barriers in it like a lot of traditional sports

I've Know For Sometime There Was Money In Streaming, But I Wasnt Aware That So Many Streamers Are Making 7 Figures.

Problem is the market is already saturated with people trying to make it. Some of these guys (and gals) spent nearly 10 years doing what they do to get to where they're at now. People don't see that part of it. Some of them already had a name for themselves by video game community standards, which also gave them a leg up. It's a lot more likely someone is gonna watch Justin Wong over some random dude streaming fighting games.

I'd guess it's around .01% of gamers

Those guys are playing 12 hours a day or more. They know things down to the frame. They’re putting in work
