As the new 2011 Starcraft 2 season begins, many exciting and major tournaments have been announced. I'll try to update this page as each new prize money for tournaments are announced. Below is the listing of the prize moneys of all the major tournaments. The conversion to dollars are approximate.

Hmm, what about IEM? I believe the championship has a prizepool of 20k+
|
Cool rundown.
You should add IEM V into the mix, though they haven't announced the finals / gamescom prizes afaik.
|
|
When did MLG announce this? And do they have locations yet?
|
you subtotaled the gsl money incorrect you gotta multiple each part by the number in each group it should be much much more than what you have it as.
|
I believe that total is for the multiple games (I.E. SC2, halo, etc)

Not entirely sure but I think the world championship is currently scheduled for March 28th onwards (will collide with 1st MLG)

hmm I'm not 100% sure, but I think that prize pool is for all games @ dream hack not sc2 prize pool only

Yeah, the GSL money calculated correctly is almost double the amount of the OP's figure.
|
nice prize for mlg finals , ill win
|
|
I am speechless. 900k for GSL? REALLY?? That thing is not even on real TV and the Korean public is not overly fond of SC2 right now, how can this have more prizemoney than OSL? I really think they are gambling a bit. + Show Spoiler +

Actually, the OP calculated incorrectly. Real figure is around 1.3 million.

yeh, i thought something didnt add up correctly, please update the OP. 16 players sharing 1500$ seemed a bit strange lol
Edit: so the real total prize pool for gsl should be 1.2 million Edit 2: Lol, too slow and also wrong. GSL total is 1.3 million
Its kind of scaring how large GSL is compared to everything else, just this morning i thought MLG stood a chance against GSL, i was soo wrong.

Soo much money. I wish I were a pro. :O

Added. Once I get the final prizepool breakdown, I'll add it. Thanks.

Does anyone have the link to the page listing the top sc2 progamers by prize money earned so far?

I think you're talking about this one.
|
nice info, and holy crap GSL potential is still so much higher than any other tournament league but because of it's nature is basically an exclusive league unless you get knocked out early and want to attend MLG/IEM inbetween seasons.
|
I messed up the calculations. Give me a couple to fix it. Thanks guys
|
If you want a more up-to-date online database, I have one online at http://ehcg.djgamblore.com/
I'm working on some tools to make updating the database easier and then I'll see if I can find someone to make it look at least decent.
Bit busy with law school stuff at the moment though 
edit: was a reply to the request for individual player prize money ranks
|
nice to see the mlg figures, finals should at least draw in a lot of competition.
Hopefully all of the events can bring a good showing.
|
Ok I recalculated the GSL Tour prize pool. It comes out Grand Total for the GSL 2011 Tour Prize Pool: 1,380,800,000 Won (~1,230,000 dollars)
Look at this figure is astounding. Over 1 million dollars in prize pool. Wow
|
Nice rundown, im excited to see so much money being pumped into these tournies.

That's awesome, do you update at regular intervals? Might be interesting to have a +/- position/earnings column so you can see who's performing now and who's just up there due to strong early performances.

great thread ptbl!!!!!!!!! nice with all this in one thread
|
An amazing thread - seeing how the GSL dwarfing the other tourneys makes me really appreciate how much they are putting into their E-Sports scene.

Do you mind if I put your link in the OP? Great list

On February 04 2011 03:35 Xeris wrote: When did MLG announce this? And do they have locations yet?
People have posted the link to the amound. As for the locations, 2 have been announced: Dallas, TX on the weekend of April 1-3. From there, the Pro Circuit will head to Columbus, OH on June 3-5.

ESL has a tendency not to pay the winners so I don't know that it should be included.

GSL is sweet for the SC2 scene and E-sports. MLG is also great for the scene. $190,000 for SC2. $560, 000 for Halo Reach and then the rest of the other games they will have prize pools for during the full year. Remember there is more to e-sports than sc2.

Good thing I always put disclaimers :D I agree on MLG being very heavy on a more varied E-sports here.
@The ESL comment - I thought they just pay late/

This thread shows just how quick eSPORTS is growing!

Im not too informed with BW (I kind of stopped paying attention to it after about 2004), but how do these prize pool compared to OSL and MSL.

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
|
Hm, that actually is pretty... Meh?
Would be interesting to hear a comment on that by some ESL official.

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.

Whoa, interesting. The disparity between GSL Code S and Code A is pretty lol I always wondered why good people didn't drop down to Code A and then rape. Now I have my answer.
|
Pricemoney has always been an unstable thing in E-Sports. It's not just ESL. There are teams still waiting for their CPL or ESWC pricemoney and stuff from years ago.
Oh and pricemoney getting at least months delayed is pretty much the norm I'd say.

Once you're in Code S, you're pretty much in the money. The hard part is getting there .

Some minor corrections for this. 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.

Although I haven't made a page for it yet, I can give you a little preview.
NOTE: I don't think I have all players clans accurately reflected yet so it's probably not too accurate.

Thanks! I updated the post with the new info and figures. So, 1.4 million total prize pool in the GSL...
|
GSL totals out to almost $1.5M.... thats insane for a brand new game, I mean I bet the first year after SC1 was released they barely broke $20k if that...... how the world has changed, I honestly can't thank the BW scene more for how huge they have shown an esport can be.
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

I am grateful to Brood War for paving the way for e-sports. It's only going to get better from here .

OP already lists 1.62 million in prizes. So conservatively we could have close to 2 million for 2011.
This data will come in handy for analyzing where SC2 is heading. The key will be year over year growth. For example if next year we get something like 3 million in total prizes then that would signal good times ahead because it represents 50% growth over 2011.
|
wow mlg is stepping it up. i wonder if koreans will fly over for it.
|
GSL's prize pool is absolutely monstrous, even with the reduced grand prizes. It makes me wonder where GOM and Blizzard are getting all their money from.
Then again, I think it would be nice to see the money from our purchases of SC2 and WoW subscriptions go directly into the hands of our beloved players. It's funny to see that paying for a WoW subscription may indirectly help Fruitdealer and MVP live fruitful lives.

May I suggest you add all the IEM season V prizes on as they dont work on a pure 1 year section and the EU/US championships that happened late last year happened are all part of their yearly season. Something quite unlike the other tournaments on your list; GSL is a 1 year thing, MLG season is all this year and both Dreamhack events are going to be in 2011 afaik etc.

Wow this is an incredible list. Great read.
Breakdown of the top 20 by country:
Korea - 12 players Sweden - 2 Finland - 1 Peru - 1 Ukraine - 1 USA - 1 Russia - 1 China - 1
Great to see so many players from around the world making money.

Dreamhack's SC2 tournament will have the largest price pool of the games played there, 4 more events outside of Dreamhack Summer and Dreamhack winter.

Then again, I think it would be nice to see the money from our purchases of SC2 and WoW subscriptions go directly into the hands of our beloved players. It's funny to see that paying for a WoW subscription may indirectly help Fruitdealer and MVP live fruitful lives.
Blizzard/Actvision is a multi billion dollar company, they don't care about a few lousy millions lol.

damn...it's going to be hard to top what GSL is doing for the SC2 Community but I love the fact that MLG increases the prize pool. It's a step in the right direction.
I wonder what the project that incontrol was talking about in the sotg....i mean top players are moving to california

Thanks for the thread . It's always interesting to see what kind of money progamers can make in SC 2 . I think there should be more money thrown in team leagues though , there are too few team leauges compared to individual ones . Also MVP is gonna make a ton of money if other players don't step up .

I believe most if not all their money comes from sponsors like Sony Ericson. I also like your play on words in bold.

I think the prizepool of IEM are in euro, so they're actualy 1.35 times higher.

IEM announces its prize pool in dollars. The figures are correct.

Would be nice if this topic can be updated with NASL, Dreamhack and others.

FXO claims a prize pool of at least GSL's calibre.
