For a lot of sc2 players their jobs were playing in proleague, that's literally what they were employed to do and what paid their bills. And you don't know what motivation pro players have. Many of them probably value winning starleagues or proleague above prize money. Was MC was the GOAT for like 7 years because he was top earner? Was Maru earning $100K at WeSG 2017 beating only tier 3 players worth more than any of the starleagues he won? | ||

Maybe it was just a meme, but I vaguely remember soO saying something about wiping away his tears with money after Blizzcon 2017. | ||

Still for most successfull player I of course agree that prestige wins are more important than another 50K | ||
