He gets money for every ad you see. It says that everytime they play that it goes directly to him. So everytime someone watches he gets paid and then when the stream goes off they run at a fixed rate, plus he can manually play them, like during the intro downtime

Not really, but I wouldn't put this in the same league as professional e-sports. It's just weird, really, that you just sit around playing the same thing all day and get paid for it like he does with a relatively large income.

Most casters don't actually make that much money, unless you're one of the most popular ones. The general rule of thumb is that without sponsors and stuff, just streaming on one of these sites will get you something like a dollar per 1000 people watching every hour. The most popular streamers make around 40 dollars an hour, but that's people who have 20k viewers at peak time. edit - and of course, this is only at peak time with 20k people watching and running ads.
It's a nice way to make pocket change if you're doing it for fun though. -- http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcb35gGx0t1qailr4o1_500.gif http://www.megavideo.com/?v=57N0YAEJ ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: shadosneko | #459 You compete and get more money, so there's a level of actually sports in it. Sig just plays the game and while it's a degree of competition in getting the fastest run, you also don't directly compete with people often, and it seems peculiar for a dude who seems as if he's treating it as a job now, rather than the fun it used to be. -- Xbox GT: PrivateBiscuit1 Down with Zhang.

I heard that recently CLG got disqualified from some LoL tournament but apparently they didn't mind because they make more money sitting around streaming LoL in that time than they would have gotten if they attended the tourney and the prize money for first place. Streaming is potentially good money.
