I know I haven't been able to enter a cup in a year(Team liquid cup, Zotac, etc) due to working the weekend but people who play sc2 as their job. look at the "top" NA players, any of the 100 or so people who play sc2 as their job, almost none care about these weekend cups. only a few people i can think of such as axslav or similar seem to play in them often, the other players just dont seem to give 2 shits. where as almost every "top" eu player is playing in these cups, every week or so you can watch the biggest names from europe playing for $100. the pure numbers side doesnt really matter, maybe theres 1000s of casual euro players in these things, but when you look at who plays in the top 128 or so of these things the euro side is 100 times better. when the european pro's talk about these cups they say its a great way to get real BoX practice against other big names, that kinda thing really helps. but all the americans seem to think about them is "hurr ladder heroes dont mean anything" or similar. i dont want to be too harsh on american players because im sure there are exceptions to what ive seen but at the same time it really feels like americans like to 'save' themselves for only playing in the big leages, like they feel they are too important or whatever, when getting knocked out in ro32 every invite is hardly god tier status.

You must bring an A level tournament format or GTHO. I would even posit that if there was a way to track viewing habits of Europeans and Americans you would see a lot more Americans who watch GSL and little of their own scene than Europeans with this tendency. But how could we gather this data? Here are the only statistics GOm released that I know of: http://www.complexitygaming.com/news/2969/ There could some truth to what you were saying, atleast the countries in eastern europe does not seem to be so interested in GSL | ||

That's old he signed a new contract after that, iirc the salary could go up to 400k if he got all his bonusses. | ||

In addition, he gets Money from Millenium TV when he streams on it, and of course, from his own stream on Twitch (dunno how much tho). | ||

It's a very rough overview and I'm not sure it actually tells us anything, but that's the numbers, anyway. How is this relevant?SC2 players pool mb,but still not that important, seeing how the op takes the very top of each group. | ||

Everytime i hear something about some NA pro i ask myself: Would anyone really look after this guy if he was Polish or Ukranian? Most of the times the answer is "No, at least not really."... Yet on NA these guys seem to be small "stars"... | ||

But I do agree, salaries and sponsors do play a major role in the financial stability of professional gamers. The aim here is to compare tournaments results by earnings, so salaries have nothing to with it. | ||
