Is the Korean economy doing poorly or something? Cause I just saw that 1$USD is now apx equal to 1466 won. (And 1000 won is equal to 68 cents.

But still... regardless. Those prizes are sick. Esp for the Quarter Finalists.

I think thats pretty normal thing for the American dollar in relation to most Asian currencies- or hell, most currencies all together.

I wonder how competitive it is to become the sponsor for the OSL/MSL

Tasteless needs to think of a new line: Gom is no longer the biggest tournament with the biggest prize pool.

This should motivate more players to do better. And the fact that you can earn money at even the quarterfinals is awesome for progamers.

I'm assuming that Batoo is a very rich sponsor?


In terms of corporate expenditures 200-300k that they're putting up as prize money is so little. I'm surprised this hasn't happened earlier. It's the cost of one mid-level manager for a year, and the benefits are arguably much greater.

Do we have any hard figures as to how profitable of a business Starcraft is?


KTF says their investment into the MagicNs has supposedly gotten something like 1000% returns though I think that's full of shit [I mean how would they measure that anyway?]

They've invested a huge amount into that team though. -_-; like 5bn KRW as of 2005/6?

It's the biggest one not going, or preparing to go through, qualifiers, at least for a few more weeks. >.>

A korean friend of mine just saw this post and messaged me saying that the prize money is a bit off:
1st 40,000,000
2nd 20,000,000

108,000,000 is the total prize money.

Oh well, still decent money
