They spend one day 12 hour on training , 7 days per week . U can read from iceiceice interview.
And the main question is how much he can earn if he play 8 hour per day , well ,
could be 0 income .OK I stand corrected, I thought they have sponsor and monthly salary.
However, isn't iceiceice a professional? IINM a professional is someone who engages in a specified activity as one’s main paid occupation?

Also...do you imply that if one is not that level means one does not have the right to discuss about it ?

Those top tier teams are paid salary by their sponsors/e-sport company. So of course they can earn a living and by winning tournament, it will definitely help. As statistics shows, those who won TI3 has an estimated earnings of almost half million USD for the whole year, which is higher than all of those average workers.
But better make sure you win top 3 position or there wont be much. So eventually those players will have to find jobs in the e-sports industry once they had enough of playing competitively.
In the end, still have to get jobs to make a living.
All valid points you got there.
But Loda has been playing for quite some time...
