It's a compilation made by Business Insider. The article should have been named "The Pro-Gamers with Highest Tournament Earnings" because I think they excluded sponsorship and salary. Good to see so many Dota 2 and SC2 gamers on the list but I'm really surprised not a single LoL players are on the list. | ||

Id love to see a list with salaries, sponsorship, streaming income and non-monetary compensation (like team houses, travel and insurance) included. Although at that point I am sure 6 or 7 of the top ten will be LoL players. | ||

I think Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, Moon and Stephano would still be in the top 10 with salary and streaming added in. | ||

Shooter tournaments in the early 00's had even bigger prizes, which ultimately contributed to their downfall... On July 17 2013 16:06 raga4ka wrote: That's only tournament winnings . Flash , Jaedong , Bisu and Moon maid a crap ton of money through salary . Flash by now has made way over 1 million $ , probably between 1.250 -1.50 millions or something it could be higher . Not only them though, Fatal1ty has made a significant amount from advertisements and selling products with his brand. | ||

Can you elaborate on that? Why did bigger prize led to their downfall? | ||

People saw massive interest in Quake and Counter-Strike and decided to put large amounts of money into games that didn't have a comparable community in terms of size and dedication (despite being good games). So instead of growing the scene by giving amateurs a bigger incentive to practice and also financial support so they can keep playing, all they did was attract Fatal1ty, and to a lesser extent Vo0, experienced and skilled progamers who could afford to practice a lot more than amateurs. Fatal1ty, who had since fallen off quite hard from being the best Quake player (his reign was much more short-lived than media/articles make it out to be) saw that there wasn't much money he could earn from it and switched to those games instead. Kinda how people looked at MLG Columbus and Anaheim back in 2011 and believed we would come to a point where mid-tier Koreans will win every foreign event. That possibility would have been quite similar to this. | ||
