Most SC2 pros don't have a steady salary; they get their income from streaming, sponsorships, and tournaments. They will take anything that they can get. | ||

Someone like Jjakji can easily make more money on this than on a GSL run (it's not like he's going to win it again). ouch bro. mvp's out, I think he's got a fair chance if he can avoid MMA | ||

For a typical pro-gamer, $500 is substantial amount to them. There are players out there that are extremely good but can't break into Code A/S (e.g TheStC), so their income only comes from winning small events like KSL/Korean Weekly, and they put a lot of effort into winning it even if the prize pool is $100. But yeah, for the much more established and well-known pro-gamers (MMA, Mvp, NesTea etc.) $500 may not be as much to them. | ||

They are playing for fame in weekly cups like KSL/Korean Weekly.Look at TaeJa and Squirtle,they are well knowing players in this scene because of $100 prize KSL and korean weekly cups.aLive played in ESV korean weekly cup,almost all korean stars played in KSL. All about fame,not money. | ||
