Well I think the big difference in the top 50s is the fact that EU holds soooooooooooo many online daily/weekly/monthly events + all the TB invitaionals and all of the minor events. US has nothing.

I agree. There are many tournaments in EU. So EU players have the possibility of have bigger earnings.

Also Fenix is not from NA. He is from LA.

edit : its funny the EU total figures is like a little more than what Flash makes in a year

Source? I know it's on TL somewhere, I just don't know where Flash's yearly earnings is posted.


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.

It's pretty crazy that Fenix is still in the top 50 despite having 0 accomplishments in 2011, goes to show how much potential he showed in 2010 ~~

Top 50 of what? Well shouldnt be a surprise that he is top 50 in NA at least, since he is number 3. Well I can agree that I am a bit surprised to that he is number 3. Since I was not aware that he had won/got high place in any major tournament, but then again not so many NA players have.

NA is just lousy in computergames, it's just not as popular as in other places to be a 'pro gamer'. Is there any computergame dominated by NA?

Very interesting. It is most likely due to the ridiculous amounts of online cups and small tournaments that they have in Europe

Computer

Well yeah, PC gaming seems indeed overshadowed in NA. They had a decent era with 1.6 and Quake though

NA was never as competitive in SCBW and WC3 aswell. 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.



yeah, thats why you totally dominated Quake and CS... oh... wait .


I don't know why but the US-Mindset seems not to be made for "E-Sports"..


And before anyone sais, well progaming isn't popular in the US. IT IS NOWHERE NEAR popular in europe... not even close to something like popular. There is harldy a noticeable diffrence from now compared to 10 years ago, except for the professional barcraft (which we also organised back then, but not in a pub but in some other "open" room).

Depending on prize money is not sustainable for PRO gamers. Prize money is a cherry on top of it. Wages and sponsors are the bread and butter. This is exactly where SC2 fails.

With a decent job you can get 40k € per year. If you get 40k € a year as an SC2 player you belong to the very top of the food chain. Whoever walks the way of a pro gamer iis not in for the money, but for e fame and the love for the game.

considering how bad GM's are.

i think basing your stats on top 50 and what not is just plain silly. and inaccurate
