StarCraft, the best selling & most popular PC Game of all time.
Kang Min (강민) a.k.a. Nal_rA (born March 15, 1982) is a professional South Korean StarCraft player (Protoss, KTF MagicNs). Kang Min is famous for his effective execution of surprising, high risk/high reward strategies, which has earned him the nickname "Dreamer".
The 'Dreaming Protoss' is often considered to be a Protoss version of Boxer due to his highly creative and daring play. He frequently hides his buildings in other parts of the map and pioneered and standardized several notable Protoss strategies such as fast expanding and using corsairs and reavers in tandem against Zerg. He won an OSL and MSL in the same season and does exceptionally well in team tournaments, playing for KTF. He has won the Blizzard WorldWide Invitational tournament during early 2006. He has recently recovered from a severe slump; as a result, he has qualified for ShinHan Bank 2 OSL and made it to the Pringles MSL finals by defeating Kingdom, only to lose 3-1 to sAviOr. He also made it to the Semi-Finals of the subsequent Pringles 2 MSL, only to lose again at the hands of sAviOr. Nal_ra is currently in a severe slump as he went 1-7 in the 2nd half of Shinhan Proleague 2007. He dropped out of MSL after losing to Xellos in the quarter finals of MSL season 3 and has yet to recover.
On 11th September 2008, Kang Min declared that he is going to retire from progaming. According to www.scforall.com he felt that he was not anymore able to meet the expectations of his fans regarding his performance in progaming Starcraft games and that he intends to be a professional Starcraft commentator in the future.

oh, okay, well the main reason esports boomed so suddenly is because starcraft was simple and people loved it immediately, but most importantly, it was cheap advertisement for the sponsors.
man, i hope i get good enough to be a pro gamer in korea even though im not a korean XD but i want to be as pro as these guys though most people go "oh video games will rot your brain" then try saying that directly to boxer and his fan club. I HOPE THEY START MAKING LEAGUES IN NORTH AMERICA! :D then i'd train like hell to become pro. :)

I dont really know why
And I doubt European icons get paid millions of dollars, because Moon, the BEST paid progamer in the world wasn't paid a million dollar salary.
Not computer gamers, since they are not really considered icons in Europe.
