EPTEU: Plenty of online, daily and weekly cups where everyone has a fair chance to win, qualifiers for big events where the famous players usually lose, and the GUNNAR GESTAPO don't appear to decide which players should be famous; their skill does (at least from what I've seen as someone in the US).

Just small cups with like 150€ prize/day will quickly add up, when all the pros can basicly make it every day just as a part of their online practice. I think it's more a question of tournaments than anything else. sc2earnings doesn't include most small tournaments I think. Compare http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/players/1777#tblt-9612-1-1-DESC to http://sc2earnings.com/player/88/jeffrey-brusi or http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/players/1693_Kas#tblt-9957-3-1-DESC to http://sc2earnings.com/player/93/mihaylo-hayda Even if some second places didn't result in money, the number of entries differs by quite a huge margin for both of them. | ||

I agree, sc2earnings.com doesn't count many small tournaments. An example: http://www.sc2charts.net/en/edb/ranking/prizes Here Goody has 16649€ (~22k$) winnings, but in sc2earnings.com he only has $11990. | ||

I dont think SC2 earnings count any wins below 50$. Then again I cant imagine that the wins below 50$ constitute more then a fraction of the total prize earnings. The fact that TT1 pointed out, that they dont count team wins, could probably make a bigger differences. Not sure if it would benefit EU or NA though. | ||

Stephano is crazy though, that $80,000 was made in such a short time. Imagine what it will be like for him and all the other top players within the next 5 years. | ||

I think it's mostly a bad mindset of the community in general that makes people too easily famous and kinda arrogant and less humble, and the direct consequence of that is the lack of improvement and less will to practice. I might be totally wrong though, just my impression on the matter. Alas, most gamers in the US prefer FPS over RTS, and even then most gamers are casuals. And unless you have been blessed by the Gods themselves with divine talent, being a casual will get you nowhere. | ||

To give you an example compare for example Ukraine to USA, less players but way higher quality. The problem is the mindset of the players and what's around them. | ||

If you exclude HuK and Idra and maybe sheth (if he shows his AAA-Game) then NA is far inferior to europe in terms of the amount of good players. But on the other hand with the MLG north america has one of the best organized tourneys. | ||

But i agree, seems to be a mindset problem. | ||

Heh. He just backed something that everyone already "thinks they know" with some empirical figures. You really think that's the same as what you said? You are very negative... why did you post in this thread? | ||
