So you guys are saying that EG's announcement is raising player salaries by opening a new EG.Plus team for high profile players that will make even Bisu and Jaedong so envious that they'll quit Sc1 and join EG.Plus for phat cash monies and the person who originally derailed this thread so hardcore was actually a spy sent here to clue us in!?

Well played TLers, well played.

15-20k year is fucking alot of money for 20-25year old with no responsibilities or family to feed.

LOL NO

You don't realize how expensive life is.


Right? People saying 15-20k per year is a lot of money... lol... come on. We aren't 15 here.

It is not a lot. It is enough to pay rent, food and public transport + a bit extra for a young man with no family to take care of.


All of which is payed for by the team (pro-gaming house duh?)

15-20k is nothing for anyone with a normal job. But don't underestimate how much of your money goes toward rent and food.



This. Although I can't see if its official that they make 15-20k or not. But that is 15-20k and then they get free housing\bills\etc (possibly also food? =p) And you then can make money off of streaming and prize money on top of that, not to mention you arguably do not have 'that much time' to go spending money also. And I would guess sponsors\teams also take care of any computer equipment and travel expenses to events, which leave4s you 15-20k to spend, + anything you bring in through prizepool\streaming. Some players, like Idra or Huk, would probably have no problem supporting themselves from Streaming alone. And then there is the prize money, where Idra is at about 18k€ demuslim at like 9k€, and huk at 26k€, and although none of these numbers are huge. They probably have more money coming in than they would be spending, and currently you do not get into progaming to get rich, which is something I think everybody knows.


Considering they have no post secondary education, that's a decent living as opposed to being qualified to work at McD's.

This seriously better be the most epic announcement of all time. Like signing YelloW and HuK, followed by a partnership with SlayerS, announcing a huge Team League and finally IdrA switching back to Terran epic.

15k per year is alot of money for playing starcraft all day long in training house. Get real guys


If the training house supplies food, sure it may be ok. But lets be serious you are a pro gamer making 15k/y for 5 years that is a total of 75k (~50k after taxes) for 5 years of your life. If you save 100% of it, you would be on a nice start to a retirement plan. However after you finish your progaming career where do you go? You're ~25 with a pretty bad resume, your hope is to stay within the scene as a commentator, writer, etc. That savings you had over the course of 5 years will mostly used up by the time you get back on your feet.

Last but not least, lets say they practice 56 Hours per week (I'm sure some put in 70+). That comes just under $7 per hour, factor that in with they are the best in that particular field of work, its a very very small number even I can top that number by streaming.

I'm not saying progaming isn't lucrative, but 15k/y is a horrible estimate. Didn't Destiny say he gets at least 50k/y on his own?

The difference between Destiny and other progamers is that the other progamers win serious cash in tournaments also.


http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Winnings#Top_10_player_per_prize_money_winnings -- Look at the top 10, winnings for #10 is ~30k. That is not much money over the course of a year atleast in the USA.

IdrA is only at 20k for winnings over the year, put the ~15k that was suggested he is at 35k/y which is just enough to get by comfortably without roommates around here.

All I'm saying is the big names most likely make more than 15k/y from their team.

Have you heard of a thing called a UNIVERSITY? It's a weird magical place that students that have finished High School go to in order to get something called a degraa... degrede?? Degree, that's the word. A degree. Which they later use to get a job.

Being 25 is not the end of the fucking world.


Actually the fact that your life isn't off to the greatest start is the problem with progaming. It doesn't seem realistic to say that you'll have a lot of savings, and if you don't want to be lonely for the rest of your life you'll want to have children, and children cost tons of money, which shouldn't be a problem if you're working your way up the work ladder, but oh wait "you're just a progamer, yeah my super important company wants you...not. You'll probably just game on the job."


Seeing as I have two degrees (Broadcasting and Graphic Design) and I now work at a bank...I would say that your "theory of life" is pure bullshit.
Dirty Deeds...DONE DIRT CHEAP!!!

Why are you assuming I don't like it? If a conversation strays away why is it the end of the world? Why do you need more regurgitated BS about speculation? Does it burden you that there's a meta discussion?
