At Casual Connect Europe 2016,Jas Purewal, founder of Purewal & Partners, gave a talk on the business and law of eSports.
He spoke about how clubs remunerate their players, which includes a basic "salary" that can be as high as $12,000 a month, as well as tournament proceeds.
"Sponsorship is where the club makes most of its money," said Purewal, and while some specific players have sponsors, it is rare due to tight control by the club.
