I have a question about one thing from Jaedong's Liquipedia. It says that "Thanks to 2nd place finish in 2013 WCS Global Finals, Jaedong became the esports player with the highest career total prize money". It is according to http://www.esportsearnings.com/players (which BTW doesn't work for me).

I am sorry but this sounds like total bulls**t. According to http://www.sc2earnings.com/ Jaedong holds 19th place with $112,910 and on the first place is MC with $415,788.

Can someone explain to me why on some pages, including Jaedong's Liquipedia, people are repeating this false information? Or am I missing something?

esports != sc2

JD is the player with the most highest career total prize money (BW + SC2)
It was Fatal!ty (a Quake player) before JD achieved the 2nd place finish at WCS.

Thanks, I didn't know that Jaedong has won that much prize money in BW. I really thought that in BW players majority of the money got from salaries and sponsors.

Jaedong Stream Vods: 2013.11.22

Here are the games I recorded from JD's stream on Nov 22 (and a couple from Nov 12). Quality isn't great since it's a recording of his live stream, processed through YouTube, and his twitch stream quality is lower than it used to be.
