LoL is just as big in the states as it is in EU and asia. Games like CS:GO are HUGE in EU, while still being popular in the states. Dota2 and the SC games have large EU and asian followings as well. All of them have big money tourneys, and the stars probably make around the same amount if not more than your average MMA champ.
I have ZERO idea what the fuck you're talking about.
I'll never understand why watching video games is fun, and why it got so popular.
Right?! Jesus, I play more video games than I'd like to admit, and i'll never understand how people can just sit there and use their playstation to watch other people play playstation. Or how Twitch is worth ONE BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS.
