Can anyone give me a link to where it says he got all this? That doesn't make any sense... someone pushing that hard would make Riot a lot of money. Why would they throw away that opportunity?

Its entertainment, not a job. A mechanic performs a service, and better service calls for more money. No matter how good you are at this game, it will never be a service to the community. Just like sports and recreation.
And it's what he does for a living, how he makes his money, and is his job.
It is a job, whether or not it is a service to the community (although how you can say that entertainment isn't a service to the community boggles me).

This is generating a lot of PR for Riot. He's a large name in several games and he is giving them free PR.

Wow. Thanks

However, couldn't this be a pretty easy photo shop?

I also know several people who have over 500k IP/RP. Those WCG players. I don't know what's the big deal is.
