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.

The number of players for each star sign was then counted and used to rank the star signs from most to least.

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.
