If you are into eSports you probably heard of them if you are not, you may not be aware of numbers good players can generate and this post is for you.
The story
They started in 2000 in Holland as StarCraft: Brood War clan. Took them almost 10 years to sign first pro players in 2010 with StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty release. Two years later they acquired Dota 2 team from North America and this was the change-everything spot. Now they became a multi-game team and opened doors to new opportunities.
Its already 12 years and they are not even close to the top. This is the word to everyone who expects to be in the top within short time starting anything..
Back to the story. In January 2015 they merged with Team Curse bringing their staff and players. Next year entertainment management company aXiomatic took them under its Wings and soon The Walt Disney Company decided to add them into its acceleration program and give support.
Over years they won many prizes but most important was The International 2017 and since August of that year, they are ranked first in the list of crews with the highest overall prize in money earnings...
...with number $23,291,568.90
Some thoughts
This story shows that if you have faith in yourself and don't quit you can get to the top if you spend enough time practicing. This is a great motivation story of from zero to hero in a competitive market like eSports but this can be moved to any other niche, not even just sports. So..
