well, if you can find someone who is willing to sponsor you and there's some tournament which pay good prizes. why not? I know in Star Craft you can turn pro and go to South Korea for the tournament.
The thing is that since the term Pro [insert game name] Player is still new, you have to swallow your dignity. When someone ask you " what's your job? ". the other people will usually look at you with a strange face when you reply " I'm a professional [insert game name] player. "
