How do they generate revenue to boost the prize pool? I saw it went from 250k to 400k USD but couldn't seem to find out where the money is coming from even on their site

It's increased by Blizzard because of SC2's upcoming 10-year anniversary.

Prize Money

The main events (excluding qualifiers) of the six Masters tournaments and IEM Katowice 2021, the grand final, will be allocated a total of $1.6m in prize money.
IEM Katowice 2020 — $400,000
DreamHack SC2 Masters Dallas — $125,000
DreamHack SC2 Masters Valencia — $125,000
DreamHack SC2 Masters Montreal — $125,000
TBA — $200,000
DreamHack SC2 Masters TBA — $125,000
IEM Katowice 2021 — $500,000
Important to note here is that all events, with the exception of both IEM Katowice tournaments, have been additionally supplemented for the 2020-21 season with a total budget of $325,000 to celebrate StarCraft II's 10-year anniversary. The prize pool for all non-Katowice events had been set at $75,000 prior to that boost.

I think it would have to do with him approaching his military service age; however, I'm not completely sure.
