Thanks for the different angle on the particular topic of the base salary for Overwatch League players. I am an Overwatch esports writer and I wrote an article highlighting the details of the new player contact when it first dropped. I kind of expected your article to cover the same info. Instead you have us an interesting perspective to think about.
I agree with you on several points. I was a very high level baseball player and I always thought that my son would be a baseball player too. Once we had our son naturally I talked about this with my wife and she was against it for many different reasons. Some similar to your point of view. At first I struggled with this but as time has gone by, esports has become a thing, and my entire family has become esports fans we have embraced or kids desire to play games with the idea of it becoming a career in some way. I am excited to see esports grow and I am one who actually thinks esports is the future of professional sports. Overwatch League is just the beginning and happy to be apart of the early growth as this thing kicks off later this year.
Nice chatting with you. All the best!
