I thought most eSF players were unpaid just because most teams don't have lucrative enough deals to be able to afford it, not because they weren't allowed. Link to where you read that?
And funnily enough, apparently it's more lucrative to stream BW on your own in Korea than it is to be an active SC2 professional. Apparently Bisu (I think) said that pro salaries were so bad you could make more streaming BW on your own.
