Fact: You can make money playing video games

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Playing video games full-time is not a viable source of income, some would say. Others believe professional players only make money from winning tournaments. These ideas are “giant misconceptions,” according to Mike Sepso, the co-founder and president of Major League Gaming and the leader in e-sports broadcasting.

“Yeah. I’m extraordinary jealous of some of our pros,” responded Sepso during GamesBeat 2013’s “The Rise of E-sports” panel, when asked whether it’s possible to make a living by playing games.
