For every daily event in NA, EU has 2, and 500 euro weekly and monthly events are incredible common here, and these tourneys are almost exclusively played in, and thus won by Europeans. Comparatively, the US has more "huge" events, but those are so seldom won my North Americans, and thus, don't really do much to help NA earnings. and all those "huge" tournements arent won by na players most of the time....  | ||

Then the motivation is really the problem. Lots of sport players have way stricter schedules than that, and 7am is pretty common for any working person around the world (go quit SC2, pick up a normal job thats not totally next door, and Im pretty sure we're talking about close to those times). Not to mention theres been several occasions where players have abided such times, Koreans in NASL come to mind. I understand it might not be your cup of tea to do that, you might not play SC2 that serious, and theres nothing wrong in that. But you shouldnt downplay it like its something inhuman. If becoming among the best of the best at SC2 was truly your goal in life, getting up early when needed would be the least thing (and probably one of the easier requirements to comply to) expected of you. | ||

It is played under the same conditions as the EU cup, but there are much less players competing in it... I don't know why, but NA players don't seem to want to play in weekly cups :/ | ||

I know I haven't been able to enter a cup in a year(Team liquid cup, Zotac, etc) due to working the weekend | ||

I believe Flash stated in an interview once(or hinted at it) that his salary is around 200k, not including prize winnings. Don't hold me for my word on that though. | ||

If you consider the rumors that huk's salary was supposed to be 100k+ it's not impossible. I'm pretty sure Idra and InControl have decent salaries too. 400k total might be too much though. | ||

It's the salary of an french experimented Actuary (a man who creates financial products in banks) for exemple. His work products millions... Not a chance this rumor can be true :D If it was true, it would mean that EG's boss is very rich and very mad. | ||
