There are many professional poker players who started as competitive Starcraft players, and even more who started at Magic: The Gathering

I don't know about "many"? The only famously successful one I can think of off the top of my head is Bertrand Grospellier. And I guess Benger got some publicity when he made the WSOP main event.

Is there a whole host of ex e-sports players making a professional living off poker? Or are these guys outliers?
