In the world of competitive Esports, money come and go faster than Usain Bolt as professional players sometimes find themselves in a streak of either resplendent or underwhelming performances. Due to the natural oscillation of Esports, the families, even team managers of these players, oftentimes play a vital role in managing their financial growth. And today, some of the top professional players share their plans after the curtains of their pro gaming will fall.
