A chunk of the money has to be spent on production and casters as well, not just prize pool. And that's after assuming all the organizers work for free. So the prize has to be even lower.
But I think apart from some Chinese players, all BSL players have a job and none of them counts on prize/streaming money to live. No prize money would be dull but the prize doesn't need to be high. Just gather as much as the community can possibly give.

Yeah i'm thinking in the same direction. Probably some of it must cover ZZZero's time and effort put into this. Maybe he doesn't take money for himself, but don't know if the Patreon support is enough for the time investment. We are all grown up people trying to survive after all. It's kind of a miracle what has been achieved by this great community keeping competitive play alive outside of Korea, because without a BSL or other smaller tournaments, gathering to play will probably fade out. And many people are giving their time and effort for free to achieve this which is humbling to say the least.
