Out of curiosity can Queen survive on this income?

Can someone give an estimate at the costs of living SK(Seoul?)?

This is pre-tax?

This is only Afreeca star balloon income

Pros who also stream on YouTube get income from YT donations

Queen, Snow, Mini, Effort and Soma probably get a good chunk of income from YT

Last was the pioneer of monetizing through YT, and a lot of BW pros started to stream on YT/Twitch in an effort to get in on that action

A lot of them (notably Best, Hero, Light, Stork, Sharp) wound up going back to Afreeca-only with the rise of Starcraft University craze (you get an extra 10% from star balloons if you are a "Best BJ" and only stream on Afreeca)

Stork went back to streaming on YT again, but I think he is not allowed to apply for "Best BJ" since he already rejected it twice
