Esports stars have shorter careers than NFL players
I can't believe it mentioned StarCraft without mentioning some well known players as sample points.- Maru[0] (age 24) 2010-present- DRG[1] (age 30) 2011-present (minus 2 years off for military service)So arguably Maru could have another 6 years in him or more.Interesting trivia: One reason StarCraft 1: BroodWar is more popular in S.Korea (despite it having janky motion even with the Remastered graphics) is because many took to the game during a major economic downturn. [Can't remember where I watched that reported, maybe a Netflix documentary.]There's hope that Microsoft/ActivisionBlizzard may figure out how to monetize the free-to-play game to sustain & grow it.[0] https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/Maru[1] https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/DongRaeGu
