Teams throwing games... others using 'boost' cheats...  It must be considered a somewhat serious sport these days because it sounds just like professional baseball.

Evidently they have sponsors because "iBUYPOWER" is a Chinese consumer computer company.

There are actually alot of Moneys at stake at the bigger tournaments. $100k+ to the winning team, and also alot of the teams are sponsored just like in any other sports.
