So how much money can a professional eSports video game player earn as a career?  Let’s take a look at what the ATLANTA HAWKS ARE PAYING THEIR eSPORTS PLAYERS in the newly purchased NBA2K league team that they’re fielding:

Each 2K team consists of six players (one being a sub), with six-month salaries that range from $32,000-$35,000 salary.
