From these ~1500, he might pay few hundred € per year, maybe 5 or 6. My first salary was 1500€, but it was 12 years ago, i don't remember how much was my taxes. | ||

We have maaaaaaany taxes 1100€ is the number on the pay check, a part of taxes are included (~20% of the salary), but not all them. But we pay taxes in addition. In the case of a 18k€ year salary, it's close of 1k€ for a single french. | ||

It's a very rough overview and I'm not sure it actually tells us anything, but that's the numbers, anyway. According to SC2ranks.com there are 869,038 players on eu and 862,739 on NA+SA. http://sc2ranks.com/stats/region/all/all/all/30 | ||

Not too surprising, other than the fact that fenix is the 3rd highest earner in na we are the 99%! occupy GSL | ||

but it is true in general that na has alot less money for grabs than in europe (when you discount huge events or lan events) i dont know why we still talk about this its been proven over and over in many different ways that eu has more top tier players than na On February 01 2012 22:40 mTwTT1 wrote: yup and thats why na players are starting to lag behind the eu/korean scene, the immense popularity of online cups within the eu scene is the main reason why their improving at a much faster rate than na players i dont know about that. most top players in europe came from wc3, bw or other progaming backgrounds while for na you didnt ever have many serious gamers in the first place. there has been many cups that attempted to have weeklys in na server but the interest was never there as it were in europe even from the beta stage i doubt the spew of money made so many people in europe motivated to become progamers | ||

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. Nailed it! I hope the rest of you consider ^ before you start making assumptions. | ||
