About a year ago (or more perhaps) there was a life-time ranking posted, and boxer and nada were within like, 100 points of eachother (nada being first). Although since then, boxer has done way, way better than nada so they're probably equal now. | ||

its like everyone else who plays starcraft compared to the koreans same analogy would be how everyone else in the world who plays basketball with the NBA superstars and no all im saying is that it takes as much effort and talent to suceed in one field as the next and if ure the best in the world at what you do isnt that amount really pathetic? | ||

about three or four years ago there was a big article in the FTD (financial times germany) featuring nazgul iirc. nice read anyway. the coolest thing is that FiFo picked that up. ^^ €: just read it. one thing will be interesting for FA and the other martial arts fans: nada's greatest idol outside the gaming world is the K1 fighter emelianenko fedor because "although he is the best in his sport he still trains more than others and also cares well for his family". they bring up mostly facts that all of us know but they also point out that he isn't really interested in religion or politics (dunno why they had to say that; they probably don't even know) and what his plans for the future are (maybe opening a restaurant at 30). one more interesting (good) thing): he wants to put so much effort into the game that his name will be mentioned in future schoolbooks because of how much he helped the sport. | ||

You're trying to compare the best gamer to the best businessman in the world? Wuddafux? EDIT: I'm not talking about you; I'm just saying that 200K isn't a "pathetic" sum of money. | ||

To WhatisProtoss: ok cool. thats ur opinion. if ure satisfied with that. if you think working your ass off 10 hours a day sometimes even more with no sleep and not much of social life and largely without a decent education is compensable by two hundred thousand dollars a year. seems like you have a very poor concenption of energy expended to profits reaped. well again, its relative. i may think its disadvantageous but u may think otherwise. well, whatever makes u happy. fine by me. really. dont forget the lifespan of a TOP progamer is say optimistically 10 years. so if 200 thousand dollars a year for 10 years with no decent education certificate after to support yourself makes you happy. go ahead. really. im not forcing my viewpoint down your throat.. just telling u my take on this. | ||

And they again have no education to fall back on. However this is a CHOICE that these people have made, that this is what they want to do. They know that their career lifespan is roughly 10 years, and that they wont be progaming for 30 years. BTW how is working 10 hours a day nonstop, no sleep, anything really out of the ordinary? a regular worker in a corporation works 8 hours a day. A doctor in ER? Lawyer? Software engineer? Even more than that. There was an artice on CNN just yesterday how video game programmers are working 12 hours a day nonstop for months upon months, and those people, are being pad less than Nada. Most Doctors? less than nada, in fact. Average Lawyer? Less than nada. 90% of SE's? Less than nada. Nurses? Teachers? Secretaries? Less than nada. The most similar situation to progaming i can come up with, is that of those "action sports" ie skateboarding, bmx'ing, etc. Those guys' careers are not that long, entail countless years honing their craft, experience physical danger in thier pursuit, only the very top make any sort of money at all (plus endorsements), and after thier career lifespan is done, they have nothing to fall back on. I dont see anyone saying "oh noes! poor skateboarders. let's pay then $1,000,000 intead b/c they have such a miserable life" All we're goign to get out of this sort of discussion is, progaming can be a pretty glamarous (on the outside) lifestyle, that pays well for a short period of time, and doesnt lead to that many career paths afterwards (coaching, internet cafe, or commentating). But it's their choice, and they all know what they are getting into. Besides, there is no "good" job that you can get, that pays well, that does not entail massive amounts of work both in obtaining and maintaing possession of. (other than the inheritance of family owned corporations) bottom line: their choice, they know the ins and outs, not our problem that their getting into it. IN the end, do they ENJOY what they are doing? and the answer most likely is YES. | ||

Oh, btw, why do some of you think that this is a negative thing? It is most definitely true that Nada may be making more money than a business man of a lesser known company. Anything past a CEO will probably make less than Nada. Oh, and not every businessman is a raging CEO whose salary is an eight figure. You: Either hate Nada becuse he beats the shit out of your favorite progamer Thinks he doesn't deserve that kid of money Just that ignorant | ||

But that's their salaries too, maybe they get some with advertising. There is a brazilian who is world record holder of 50m (25m x2) butterfly, and I'm very sure he doesn't make 200k a year. | ||
