This is something i've found so very interesting. I think you are what's needed for professional gaming to ever become more popular then where it is now. The game needs polarizing personalities that attract attention from people outside of that specific medium. The one thing that all esports have in common is that the competition is taking place in an environment built not necessarily around competition, but entertainment. For a league like this to get started I believe you need more entertainers and less professionals. This is coming from someone that doesn't play Starcraft and doesn't even play PC games, but I watch your stream occasionally (though I watch your highlights on youtube more often then not) because it's interesting to watch you as a person playing starcraft.
On that note, someone else said it, but you need to get to work on your own YouTube channel. You are missing out on lots of income being generated by other people posting your videos. There are lots of youtube personalities that generate enough money to live off of merely through their youtube videos. You would have more then enough income through your stream ad revenue, lesson revenue and youtube revenue to live quite well off of. I'd actually work on getting a nice youtube base set up before you started your professional starcraft career. Build a nice enough base now and it won't matter how well you do as a professional starcraft player.
You could crash and burn at whatever tournaments you decide to play in, but if you can cash in on that crash and burn then does it really matter how well you did at the tournament?
