"It's a legitimate sport, and there are millions of fans around the world who pay good money to watch you play," says professional League of Legends player Yiliang "Peter" Peng. "There are a bunch of sponsors around the world who pay thousands and thousands of dollars every month just to put their name on your jersey."
