How do top players live?

[Got4n]

Hello,
I'd like to ask you something that always interested me: how top players (Mang0 etc) or high players (Lucky, MacD etc) can have an house etc without earning a lot in smash.
I mean, if they have a job, how can they participate tourneys? Like they can't quit their job for a day or two?
So I'd like you guys to tell me a little more about this :D
Thanks!

My guess is that they probably have someone to help support them. Like a loved one who is already working.

Hbox balances a job as a chemical engineer and Smash pretty well. It helps if you have a job that is Monday through Friday.

A lot of smashers live together, so my guess is that they all chip in, but you do have a valid point, sponsors also pay them and such
