Granted, e-sports is kind of lame in general (who wants to watch people play games) but I enjoyed "frag" which was in a similar vane. I personally don't believe someone can make a career out of playing games, even with a one million dollar prize that is only one person out of thousands who are going to get anything out of it.

Think again! With sponsors and tournaments, many players are able to earn a living playing competitive videogames, though this is far more common in the Asian scene. Not only that, but some companies are looking to expand e-sports even more, for example, Riot Games (League of Legends) has a vision for the future (http://www.riotgames.com/news/riot-games-shares-its-vision-future-esports-reveals-initial-details-league-legends-championship) that includes salaries paid to pro teams, to ensure that they're able to sustain a career gaming.
