Depends on what game and level of competition and how often they win tournaments. Also many pros make money on the side through streaming. I believe Pros that play Lol, Dota and Starcraft make the most in the hundreds of thousands (the winners of the international each won around $200,000 for one tournament Pros that play fps games tend to make less money (in the tens of thousands, although I'm sure a few have made it in the hundreds of thousands as well) because fps games aren't as popular in the esports seen/have less viewers and have a shorter period of relevance (usually only a few years). There are a lot of other perks that go along with being a pro gamer, your management pays for hotels, flights other travel expenses etc. and the free gear you'll get from companies wanting you to wear their stuff.
