Can you imagine a KSP competition with prizes?
I want to be a KSP pro player...

That would be kinda neat like a Space race thing.

Well if you have time (LOTS) Counter-Strike would be a nice choice but unlikely to enter the pro scene. You can play in community tournaments on faceit.com (as well as two other games, don't remember) and earn FACEIT points that are redeemable for in-game items (they trade them to you through Steam or other) or real stuff, like. car! (~2,000,000 FACEIT points). And pro jerseys signed by pros, and mousepads.

CS:GO is one of the best eSports games in my opinion. It's really quite a fun community to get into.

Tried it CS:GO a little but not a hardcore gamer.

Understandable.

It sounds like eSports really are not your thing. Why not? Because you do not sound committed and you really need to be to get anywhere. If you do not practice regularly and with a fair amount of fanaticism, it is unlikely you will do very well in tournaments. You are thinking about having a hobby, while competing at world class levels means having a lifestyle. Even when it is 'just' a virtual sport.

Careful with Esport as a career too, since retirement age is about late 20s, at most 30. You just can't catch up with the new kids and their reflex and speed. Either way, sport of all kind, virtual or not, require serious commitment and time to get yourself to tournament level, and that sucks out all the fun.
