Korean Professional Gamer Earns US $130,000

How much do Professional Gamers earn in a year? I’m sure that a lot of Pinoys have dreams of being pro-gamers and I think some are actually making a lot of money in the local betting circuits of Warcraft 3: DOTA. I remember seeing a couple of Ateneans bet around PHP 10,000 in one match [...]
