If you think that you are good enough in the game.
Absolutely not, those guys are going through hell for a mid-class salary.

Yes. If OW2 is still a think in about 3 years when I go to college I plan on playing there.
Being a 4500 console player Ill probably be GM on PC too looking at GM console players that have gone to PC.
Of course, most of them are young kids that never had a job before and now they’re getting paid to play games 12 hours a day.

If I was good enough: an OW1 pro maybe.
But in OW2 the devs says is ‘balanced’; I’ll pass…
It just by design more fun. More time shooting people and more time not being stunned.
by not playing ranked i guess lol. tho i might do it again for a third golden weapon
What I’ve heard from pros in other games, it’s a much better path to become a streamer and make a living through subs and youtube videos. The competitive life for this game is really short, very stressful and if you are not at the very top, you’re not gonna get rich. It’s a decent living compared to a regular job. If you look at the current orgs, they struggle really hard. They kicked out players, because they can’t afford them anymore. They live in bad conditions at the bottom pro teams and Blizzard can anytime say it’s over, everyone go home, this is not proftiable anymore, like they did with HotS esports over night.
The mount of stress they exeprience is awful. You have an entire following of a team beating you down on social media how much you suck if you lose another match and you could be replaced anytime if your org thinks you are not performing good enough.

Become a pro player? Omegalul, IF you can’t get into GM while working you have no hope going pro.
Even streamers don’t want to be in OWL.

No. No I would not… no!
You could probably take all the Top 500 players and/or every Grandmaster player and they’d get steamrolled in pro league.
If you want to be truly competitive you need to be joining the tournaments that are open from what I read or anything that might get you in the door there.
No because that means I’ll need to have a sleeping schedule 
Be serious and dont even ask those questions ,if you like videogames finish school and be a dev .People that makes a lot of money from playing videogames are very few ,chances are very very very low
Becoming a game developer is probably an even worse fate. The video game tax companies put on people, just to give them the privilege to work on video games is awful compared to any other IT field. There will always be someone willing to do the same work for less, just to be part of a video game company and employers take full advantage of that.
