What is it like to be a pro gamer?

Of course, you can be a professional gamer without a sponsor or team too (if you play single-player games), and simply try to win as much money as you can and make earnings through streaming.

But having the support of a pro team is undeniably helpful. There'll be someone to help you handle the logistics of travel and tournaments so you can focus on playing. Your team will be like a family, you'll have a great support network of players as practice partners, some money, and meet a great deal more awesome people.
