I had originally not included it, and then decided to update the number of major organizations to show. Xeris, this is also where NASL got dropped... my bad! Revise! Revise! | ||

My favourite part of this is how you divided the tournaments by show match, daily / weekly / monthly ect. Awesome job! | ||

I'm hoping for some kind of analysis on the prize money distribution - for instance, in the GSL, the prize money is very top-heavy and hence all that money benefits mainly only 1st place. | ||

For example, the people that get knocked out in the Round of 32 account for approximately 18% of Code S money. 20-40% allotted for first is not bad at all depending on the size of the tournament, and a bunch of other factors. For a point of reference, in poker tournaments a common distribution is 50% of the prizepool going towards first in a 10 player tournament, with that number decreasing as the participants go higher. Even for 500 people, a 30%+ distribution is not considered high for first place. I believe the prizepool distribution is carefully considered since the korean pro scene is in close communications with GSL organizers. There is a both a need to have a large first place prize pool for marketing purposes, and an incentive to flatten payments so that top pros that aren't winning can still make a livable salary. Without in depth knowledge of the financial aspect of individual teams, it's hard to say what is the correct payment scale to use. With team houses and bills being paid for, I think pros make a passable living just by making Code S or floundering in Code A every now and then, along with streaming and winning smaller cup tournaments. | ||

Thanks! This is quite insightful - I didn't know that the prize pool structure was actually wanted by the pros! | ||

Once again as everyone has already stated, it's incredible how little MLG had to invest last year compared to what they got and their rivals. edit: It would be interesting if we could add estimated invite cost to MLG. (but then IPL gets some +s too I believe) How littled they invested? Are you looking at the chart that says only GSL gave out more in prize money than MLG? And prize money is just a small fraction of an investment. They brought in satellite trucks to broadcast their tournaments because of sc2. That cost more than their prize pools. | ||
