Advancing to ro16 was 100$ advancing to ro8 was 200$ so those who made it to ro8 got 300$ and a seed. so not that bad but could be more evenly distributed.
Korean tournaments have aways seemed unevenly distibuted to me, be it BW or 2 with the winner taking 50% or at time a bit more of the prize pool, and after that a landslide down every place.

I thought OSL prize pools were pretty well distributed.
1st 40k$
2nd 20k$
3rd~4th 7k$
5th~8th 3k$
9th~16th 2k$
ro32 1st 250$ 2nd 150$ 3rd 100$
while it still is 50% for first the prize money for 3rd and below are pretty decent!

We are currently working hard to having the 10th Sonic Starleague start in may and run throughout the summer.
We are aiming for the first place prize will be around $25,000 - $30,000.
Sbenu CEO (Sonic) is actively trying to improve the conditions of the tournament.
The current studio at the SinbalFarm office can hold about 100 people, but we are trying to create a place where 300 - 400 people can come.
We are preparing for the 10th Sonic Starleague to be a far better tournament than other leagues.
Thank you for the love and interest that you have shown so far.
Please love the 10th Sonic Starleague and Sbenu!

소닉 스타리그 10차는.
현재 여름방학 시즌과.5월 중으로 고민 하고 있습니다.
1등 상금은.
2500~3000만원 정도를 생각하고 있으며. 스베누 대표님께서 적극적으로 지원을 해주기로 한 상태입니다.
기존 신발팜이 있던 사무실을 개조해서 소닉TV 스튜디오의 기존 . 100명이 아니라.
300~400명 가량이 들어올수 있는.곳으로 만들어볼까도 생각중입니다.
10차 스타리그는 어떤 리그보다도 훨씬 규모있는 대회로 진행이 될 예정이오니.
많은 관심과. 많은 사랑 부탁드립니다.
10차 스타리그인 스베누도 많은 사랑 부탁드립니다!

$25,000 - $30,000 just for the first place? That seems huge.
I'm not sure how I feel about a bigger studio. The current one wasn't always full; really depends on who is playing I guess.

BW Hwating!!!!!!

2500~3000만원
만원 = $10 so 2500 x $10 = $25,000

Yeah but ssl9 had 18k overall, i just don't understand how he can do 25k for only the first place now :D

Exciting future for BW, glad to see sponsors putting more faith into the scene. I hope to be able to catch this on the livestream! :D
|
In order for the league to truly reach mainstream numbers, this HAS to be re-introduced on TV. TV signals have less technical difficulties than online streaming and encourages more people to watch. And former players needs to get in touch with their former coaches/managers to re-ignite a chance at a BW ProLeague featuring former teams.
At this point of progression, the above statement isn't exactly far fetched.

Wow!
I love you, Sonic! Can't wait!

25k-30k first place? that's crazy! SSL keeps getting better and better. Pretty sure it'll eventually get to OSL prize money based on how fast the changes are. Amazing stuff from Sonic as usual! I dunno about the studio part though. I can understand wanting more people to come to watch but is it really the best time to increase prize pool and expand the studio?

The current studio is too crowded. The OGN studio and the current PL studio are more spacious thus are inviting for people to come in (more room to breath).

Well his shoe brand Sbenu has been doing incredibly well. I mean he even has offline shops.
if you just search for 스베누 on naver you get a shoe/sneaker popularity search on the side and his new spring brand sbenu S-line is #1 and then sbenu is #2. and then at #7 theres another sbenu brand.
Sbenu also has an incredibly strong grasp on the college age group.
On top of that he's got this popular girl group called AOA + Show Spoiler [they sang this song] + modeling for his spring line.
And in addition you see some celebrities on TV starting to wear sbenu shoes
+ Show Spoiler [some pics of celebs wearing sbenu] +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WNgGg8H.jpg) AOA ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Rp1K2SF.jpg) more AOA ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/USI7hvb.png) from drama shining romance ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Jbn5tNg.jpg) lead singer for CNBlue ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1EqynjO.jpg) from some tv show called 1박2일 and there's a bunch more too
I'm sure Sonic has the money to make the prize pool that big. I'm also sure Sonic isn't dumb and he definitely wont put every penny he's earned into running a starleague.
I do however think he's putting too much into 1st though. Should instead balance it out and give good pay outs to 4th and below. Especially since it starts at a 128 player qualifier stage that means just getting into ro32 will be a challenge and they should be rewarded for their efforts.
+ Show Spoiler [roughly what OSL payouts were] +
1st 40k$
2nd 20k$
3rd~4th 7k$
5th~8th 3k$
9th~16th 2k$
ro32 1st 250$ 2nd 150$ 3rd 100$
I guess he was unsuccessful in finding a different sponsor though. Too bad but in a way this is an investment for sonic and it might be a pretty good way to get his brand publicized even more. It'd be nice if someone like FIX stepped in and offered to sponsor again. I heard FIX earphones sold incredibly well to the point where certain colors were sold out and it took longer to ship because they had to wait for more supply to get in.
Also the translation about the studio, he's saying he wants to change the studio layout a bit and try to accommodate for more people (300~400 so I'm assuming there are portions of the studio that is being used as storage possibly? not sure)

^I love me some AOA
edit: CNBlue is pretty good too. Nice advertisement, I guess.

well ya, of course. I think JohnChoi's post clarified that part for me:

thought he wanted to expand or move to some other studio or something. If it's just a re-arrangement of the layout, then I think it's a great idea to try and get more people to come in to watch. Thanks for translating!

Man this is like music to my ear.
Thanks JC for bringing us the good news, oh man this even feels better than having more BW exposure but that our hero himself is getting the praise and recognition he deserves.
Btw, can overseas purchase Sbenu/Sinbal Farms products? I would love to support myself some Sonic merchandise.
