Golden opportunity for tons of streamers. Really shows how much of an opportunity past 2 years has been for StarCraft streamers in Korea, with it overtaking league as #1 streamed game during the period but now it's over, who knows what will happen going forward. all info publicly tracked and available on https://poong.today/ | ||

Pretty decent for all of these guys, although SK is quite expensive, so it's not a fortune as some might think. | ||

Britney gets advertisement (around ~300k) and youtube ads (around 200k). all in all his estimated income is around 1.1M ~ 1.5M | ||

How are they making 200 000$ / year from donations alone? For comparison, Bonyth has 1-2k viewers on his vods (currently 150 live viewers) and Artosis has 15~k viewers on his vods with avg 1600 viewers. Many of the korean brood war streamers also seem to have quite basic living conditions, which doesn't make sense if they're making that money. | ||

Its mostly high level players who watch vods to learn from others. | ||

I'm not saying the ratio between live/vod viewers are different, i'm saying they're both low for the amount of donation money. I hope they get a fair cut of the donation income, so BW will continue to strive. | ||

Yes, and the SC University system. Although the top streamers do get their own donations (Britney, Rain etc) for a lot of Top BW players the money gets spread out through the proleague prize system. At least a decent part of it. Pretty cool system, it helps out some of the lesser popular streamers that are good at the game get a slice of the pie. | ||

I don't think any names on that list only have 30-100 viewers on their stream. Normally the least of them would have about hundreds of viewers. Maybe sometimes they'd have 30-100 viewers due to viewer migration to other streams for a specific event. But the main reason is that Korean viewers have a much bigger wallet than foreign viewers. I mean, for the Proleague system, 8 players just casually gather almost the entire budget of a BSL season in 15 minures, EVERY DAY. | ||

For example for ProLeague prize-pools, usually what happens is that the losing team has to donate the gathered balloons to the winning team. I don't think they're subtracted from the initial balance. Would lead to a flatter distribution, and less money in general. | ||
