Pro gamer rakes in R9.3-million per year

23 October 2013

The occupation of playing games professionally has become a viable career choice these days, however, raking in around R9.3 million a year makes it a pretty desirable dream.

This is the case with 23-year old Spanish League of Legends pro Carlos “Ocelote” Rodriguez, who has said that he makes around $1 million annually.

He stated that the amount is made up of a combination of tournament winnings, merchandising income, salary, live streaming games, and personal sponsors.

Rodriguez isn’t a huge spender though, and insists “now is the time to save and help the family.”

What would you do with over R9 million? Let us know in the comments below and on the MyGaming forums.
