Either way, if I assume I'd get taxed the same way as earning a normal income (say 30%), that's 1.82mil each, that's assuming working a career of 45 years, is $40,044 a year, as long as you invest what you're not spending at the rate of inflation. Realistically you'd get a bit more, and that's around a $50,000 salary for the rest of your life. If you're a gamer you can live off of that forever in Canada or the US, and back in China, a lot longer. | ||

You only pay 39.6% on all income over 400k, and the state income tax should be deductable. Not exactly sure how deductions work for foreigners though. Their effective rate will probably end up being around 40% or so for the states, but i'm just guessing here. | ||

The actual answer to the question on DC was that he didn't feel like DC played up to their full potential after game 2, not that he thought DC didn't play as well. It may be a minor difference in translation but he intended it to be a very humble comment not a cocky one and was clearly surprised by the crowd reaction. | ||

In the US, prize winnings are taxed at a much higher rate than normal income. I am not sure of the exact details. | ||

is there even a meta this patch though? even the op heroes got destroyed by wings and the supposed counters (naga/sd vs void, ww vs void) got beat by them too this patch seemed to favour diversity and the ability to play a lot of shit. wings can do that. | ||

Well yeah, but since the money is paid directly to players, that's almost 2mil each, so I just treated the entire income as 39.6%, but you're right, but it would've been more math for a back of the envelope calculation. And oh, okay, hmm, 40% is quite a lot still. I wonder how other countries treat it, I know almost all EU countries have higher tax brackets for the top, but in Canada for example, lottery winnings aren't taxed, so maybe there's similar type of stuff for competitions like this too. | ||
