Does pro E-Sport gaming pay?  by Shane L at 20:57

PC
Well if your at the top of your tree in FPS gaming like Counter-Strike or go by the name of Fatal1ty you would think so, but over in the far east pro gaming salaries over there make the US/Europe pro gaming scene look like peanuts for payment.

Hot Starcraft player Nal_rA got a wooping $200,000 for switching to team KTF, and not only that but another team who go by the name of Boxer announced a new sponsor. It is the largest telecom company in Korea, SK Telecom, who will be sponsoring the team.

The contract with Boxer is said to be even better than the $200,000 Nal_rA got, but no numbers have been mentioned. Apart from that salary, the team will also get a 3550 sq office and a 12 seat van.
