Now I know why eSports prize pools go over millions of dollars!

But sometimes, those gamers who put all their time playing just wants to kill time and enjoy wasting money without any goals at all.

No, they aren't killing time after choosing to get into the professional scene. Professional e-sports players are like athletes that dedicated most of their time and life to the chosen sport. Do you think those sports athletes are just killing time and enjoy wasting money without any goals?
You are looking to them as if e-sports pro scene is just all about killing time.

thats right . its not what you call wasting/killing time but that is already thier profession  . they dont also waste thier money but they earn money thru playing because pro players have a sponsors  . infact they even earn more salary than any other regular jobs out there , so dont under estimate pro gamers  . there are items that we can buy on games but i think the purpose on why they make those items is also for the profit and not to add on the prize pool  . prize pool is i think sponsored

There are some group of people who really works for this purpose, they play to have fun and to received salary from their sponsors. I saw this on many groups of gamblers, of course if a capitalist saw your skills and potential in gambling they will hire you to play for them. The prize pool becomes millions to attract players, sometimes those who won that prize are also part of the owner of the casinos.

You call them gamers and you say that they are killing their time and waste their money without goals? You're contradicting yourself. Their goal is to play games, they are wasting their time? For you maybe but for them, they are not. There are a lot of streamers on the internet that you don't even know and they are earning money through it so I don't think you can say that they are wasting their time and money. Also, the team is the ones paying that player to play so I think they would not invite a player if that is worth their time and money, right? You make no sense at all.

I laughed a bit when he said that.

I like to play games and I like to call myself a gamer for some reasons because I'm spending some time playing and get some experiencing. Maybe for these players and streamers, playing games is part of their life already and it is their passion to play. Aside from playing, they are earning from it as a streamer. It is not a waste of time and money for them because the return for them will be higher.

Exactly as WNBA seems to be boring though the players are effort full in providing actions to the viewers to enjoy yet wasn’t enough and still advertisers will decide on how they’ll put money to gain more publicity and that’s how the prizes growing and growing now in esports ..

Advertisers and in game item sales makes the prize pool. Before, the e-sports industry isn't that big. If you are in the mid's of twenties, I'm sure that you are able to cope up the glory days of counter strike 1.3/1.6 days.

And the prize pool that's being at stake there is just through sponsors and advertisers. But now, it's massive, the gaming industry is a booming industry, from advertisers, sponsorships and also a percentage from in-game sales.
