Methodology
Date of birth data on the 500 highest-earning professional gamers worldwide was scraped from eSportsearnings.com. Each player’s date of birth was then used to find their corresponding astrological star sign.
For each star sign, the average earnings to date were calculated to rank the most successful star signs in gaming from most to least money earned.
Some players had no date of birth data available and were excluded from the analysis. This is why the sum of all star signs equals 493. 7 of the 500 gamers scraped had no date of birth data available.
