I'm 50 minutes in so far and this is incredibly interesting. I didn't think I'd listen to anything for 3 hours, yet here I am.

Bloody hell, every guest from now will be boring......

I would suggest that anyone that enjoyed this give The Executives a listen, sometimes similar stuff is covered. Hope it's ok to suggest other stuff thats not related to this show.

All these are just gold, JP. It's intriguing to learn about these guys in such detail. Hopefully you make this a weekly show.

By the way that break where he leaves you hanging at 30 minutes was well handled, just thought you should know.

I really like how 2GD says stuff up front, including things like how much casters used to make, what they make now and basicaly tells you anything you ask, without aiming for a fake image of himself or anything at that.

I think 2GD is right on with KESPA will eventually strong arm GOMTV.. I hope other people who love GSL's "global league" goal will help support them, now more than ever before.

I couldn't find that part. Would someone mind just giving me a few estimates?

300 euros a gig previously now he says 2-2.5k per gig and some people get paid 10k+ appearance.

I didn't hear the exact numbers but that seems slightly too forthcoming, but who knows.

But 2GD is one of the realist motherfuckers in esports. I really have mad respect, he's my kind of dude. I'd love to get a couple drinks with him someday.

At 1:45:20, he talks about Apollo and how much he earns compared to other casters(can't tell if he knows for sure about others or it's just assumptions). Before that(can't find at what time in the video) he also talks about what he and Joe Miller, his Quake co-caster used to make.

If you want the short version:


+ Show Spoiler +
Apollo used to make 300 dollars per event when he got started, now he makes 2000-2500 per event. He says others make 10k+ per event. James(2gd) made about 300 euros per month from casting for ESL and he mentions Joe Miller getting 300 dollars per event, probably on top of his salary which should've been just as much.

I think he said they used to get nothing (pre WoW), then maybe $100 a gig, going up to about $300 WoW/pre SC2 for stuff like DH, currently I think he mentioned $2k for a weekend currently for someone like Apollo, although did not say if this was including flights etc. or not. He alluded to someone getting 10k which I would guess is Day 9 or Artosis.

When at ESL he was getting ~24k euro/yr.

Other numbers mentioned are the GD studio is projected to turn over 300k euro this year before expenses which including set up (20k euro), salary (30k/year per member), prize money, rent, bills etc (not disclosed).

*Numbers subject to memory, or lack of.
