They get tons of endorsement from IT companies like Samsung electronice and that's another source for HUGE income. Because most of audiances for this game league and channels are young people who are really into these new cutting edge cell phones and stuff, it is very much worth for high-tech company to endorse these professional gamers. Top players makes way more than a mil. per year. The game league are beingn watched by hundreds of thousand people everyday, and important game matches are being held in huge dorm where thousands people attand to watch the game, hundreds of cutties cheering for male players.(yes, you can be rich and cool for playing lots of computer game in this place!) :-) Country like South Korea where it has the most broadband connection population in the world,
