They get money for placing in tournaments. For winning a national championship, the top prize is $100,000, which is split between the members, and their coach if they have one. It's $20,000 for a normal tournament. Pro players (players ranked within the top 16 teams) typically receive $400 as a stipend for every tournament they attend. This is used to pay for things like gas, hotels, flights, and team passes, which often add up to more than $400 per tournament per peson.

Big pros can also make money from sponsors, such as Tsquared with his sponsors from Dr Pepper.

Pros can also make money by streaming on websites such as Twitch.tv. For example, Ninja might make $12/hour while streaming because he gets around 600 viewers. This revenue comes from advertisements played on his stream, and it gets paid to him by twitch.tv, who he's partnered with. You can get partnered with twitch by getting a lot of viewers, followers, and subscribers.

Pros can also explore other opportunities to make money by using their reputation to their advantage. YouTube videos, Halo lessons, sellings spots on their friends list are all examples of extra ways for pros to make money.
