Bringing home the bacon has never been so fun. Can you imagine playing a video game for a living? Who wouldn't want to do that? The only caveat is that you have to be one of the best in the world. In World of Warcraft 3v3 you need to find two others at the top of the sport that will join you. In today's report we review a top PvP player's earning potential as it stacks up to other professional sports:
Lets face it, not many of us have the mad skills to earn the vaulted World of Warcraft PvP rating of 3,000. Only a few of groups have done it so far. Of the subset of players that vie for those honors, some are professionals. That means they get paid to play. Typically, they only get paid when they win; very few receive a salary. In a world where athletes like Tiger Woods makes $22+ million a year (plus endorsements of well over $100 million), can we earn enough playing video games like WoW to put food on the table? Well maybe, depending on your tastes.
Not surprisingly the best WoW player isn't going to show up Tiger Woods when they compare W-4s, but the results may surprise you. Check in on the status of major sporting wages as they compare to 3v3 teams in PvP as a Professional; PvP Earnings vs. Big Sport Money.
