Not really looking for a quick buck but actually competing in an esport sounds fun.
It really just depends what game you're looking into getting competitive in, and if you're looking into getting serious about it. You can fuck around with 3v3 team in LoL, have a good time but most likely get rolled over if you don't practice daily and come strats/counter-strats and builds/counter-builds.

Competitive E-Sports require A LOT of no-lifer time, unless you're already a well-known player within the competitive community, who can hop onto any team that gives you an offer.

When it comes to LANs, MLG is where it's at in North America right now. They are definitely the closest to what CPL was doing, and if they continue to give pay-outs on time then they will continue to be the best.

For Online league play: Gamebattles (console) = ESEA - CEVO (PC)
For invitation LAN play: MLG (console/some PC) = ESEA - Intel Xtreme Masters (PC)

It used to be that if you won the playoffs for your region in any given game during any given season in Gamebattles, then you were invited to the MLG LAN Tournament. Before that, MLG had qualifiers in different regions completely on LAN. I'm not sure how it is now but it sounds like MLG has really stepped up their game where PC Gaming is concerned, as they along with CEVO are the only credible leagues to support BF3.

But I digress, what game are you interested in playing competitively?

My interest is piqued.
