Forsti hasnt gotten anything for his Friday Night Game appearance, Qxc hasnt gotten anything for IEM NA, Huk hasnt gotten anything for IEM Cologne (which was more than 6 months ago now), and I heard several Viking Cup winners stating they haven't gotten anything yet. That's at least what I heard about | ||

Prize for OSL/MSL is about 28,000 dollars. However it's important to not forget that they have contracts. Players like Flash make about 150k a year, plus everything else they win. | ||

Code S 50 + 20 + 5x2 + 3x4 + 2x8 + 1.5x16 comes out to 132 (Million won) x7 = 924 M Won GSTL there are 6 of these for 2011, so 15 Million won x6 = 90 M WOn So for the whole GSL 2011 Tour there's a price pool of 1 567 000 000 Won, or 1 407 166 U.S. dollars, according to Google just now. | ||

I highly doubt that when SC1 was released that anyone would have, with true conviction and belief, predicted that millions of dollars would be given out each year to nerds for what much of western culture would deem "slacking off" but here we are..... and the prize pools are only getting bigger atm. Perhaps by the time SC3 arrives esports might even be on TV outside korea..... when you think about how far things have come in the last decade, its definately a possibility | ||
