Why? it's his biggest prize from a tournament in a while right? and 500 dollars is not a small amount at all, we've just been spoiled with all these ridiculous prize pools lately^^ | ||

So that shows Idra is barely making a living from his tournament winnings. In the last 4 months he's last gotten a money finish in January. If Idra was relying on winning money by playing in tournaments, he really couldn't afford to "wipe his ass" with the 500$ he won this weekend. | ||

Naturally Korea is dominated by former Broodwar players, but if you look at the rest of the world where WC3 players stands for a larger percentage of the player base, they have done quite good throughout beta and release. It's quite logical. | ||

So you just look stupid trying to take credit for that prediction. | ||

That would make a big difference. Sponsors pay wages. Steam commercials help many out. Coaching would help a great deal. Other than that... It must be pretty tough. THat being said, being a gamer isn't expensive once you have your rig set up. Potato chip isn't expensive, and you'd hardly need to put fuel in your car. Renting a house or paying a mortgage would be effin tough though. | ||

As predicted, Cruncher wouldn't get far, he's so overrated ever since his win against IdrA and the FXOpen which people say (I don't know if its true), had pretty bad lag. Also, I thought ROOT was going to "dominate" MLG. Excluding Destiny they had 5 guys? Only 1 made it into the Top 8 (I would say Top 10 but I can't confirm that). All i know is that CatZ had a pretty early exit, and Drewbie and Slush didn't make it that far either. Disappointing. That being said, grats grats grats to KiwiKaki on 2nd place, I never doubted that he would take first or second place. | ||

On another note: 500 bucks is shit lol, considering the time these guys put preparing, and actually playing for those 3 days. Not to mention the cost put in, travel, hotel etc., AND on top of that, there aren't THAT many tournaments a year. | ||
