That is literally the top earner in the community made up by a team of people.

The media/VC etc community has been hyping e-gaming as the new sports domain. That said the top salary for a sports player is $168M / year for one player (Lionel Messi) and number 99 is $35M/year (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_sports_contrac...)

It really shows how much of a step change there is between the sports & e-sports and I would be curious how much of this Twitch is keeping to themselves instead of paying out.

Not to mention how much uptime e-gamers have to put in.

Note that streaming is a completely different revenue source than esports earnings. Top esports earners might not even stream at all.

Good point - I should differentiate more clearly.
