Thousands of Euros are invested into StarCraft teams and players year by year. But in fact we don't see many tournaments that make it possible to win huge amounts of prize money. The players outside Korea are also not that famous or even superstars like Boxer and others are. Now mTw wants to run up to the StarCraft hil while investing in a new team.

But where is the sense for teams like Excello, RoX or MYM to have a StarCraft team? Those teams are in fact companies that have to make money with what they do. Time to take a look into that question with an article called:

StarCraft Teams - Point of Existence in 2008?

Read it here and give me feedback in the comments please"

Interesting article.

I am not sure why foreigners stick to starcraft right now. Sure you are gonna have people who play for the love of the game, but with the massive budget differences and prize money in war3 and sc, I don't see foreign sc teams as a viable source of income for teams or players.
