Of course the GSL is in its own world of prize money, and we shouldn't see this in relation to the GSL. 5000 EUR makes this event one of the bigger LANs, but the prize moeny is still not enough to make it worthwile for the large most of the players (same with MLG Raleigh or DC (7k $)). Take TL, for instance: 3 players attending, and only if they score all top 3 positions, they will earn 4850 EUR prize money in order to cover for 4 flights from and to Korea, 2 flights from and to Germany, accomodation/hotel for 3 players, transportation at the local place, maybe food for 3 players and visa- and insurance related costs. Which is surely not enough. And teams like Alternate, Dignitas, Rox.Kis, Empire, Mousesports are all in the same position and expect their players to bring home some cash from that tournament, too. It is therefore astonishing to see such a big lineup of good players and I can't wait for this tournament, I will surely watch the hell out of the stream next month Edit: By the way, also always see in relation to the other tournaments played at the event: Tekken: 1700 EUR CSS: 2350 EUR TF2: 3110 EUR SC2: 5000 EUR So big shoutout to the Assembly Staff \o/ | ||

Teams arent looking for their players to bring them their cash back home (afaik most teams don't get any part of the prize money at all and it goes to the player instead, correct me if i'm wrong), they're looking for publicity. Sending a player to a tourny is mostly expected be a loss in money in itself, but the revenue comes from the publicity the team gets. When people go to their site and click the adds or just simply want to buy the same product that their favourite pro player uses, the teams will get more money from their sponsors to cover for the losses in sending players around the world. This. I can't imagine a professional team expecting to get money out of the earnings of a player at a tournament. Maybe if they won GSL or something a small percentage but not something like the Assembly. Sponsors want publicity and going to events means publicity for them through the players/teams attending. They pay for this and a player winning an event means more publicity. I hope a progamer can enlighten me if I'm wrong. | ||
