GSL is not "money worthy" for a player like Stephano. I agree with this. I'll also note that you can earn the frequently changing "best player in the world at the moment" title without winning a GSL. Currently Taeja holds this title despite unspectacular GSL results; before Taeja, MKP held it. So even if Stephano's goal is to become the best player in the world he doesn't necessarily need a GSL trophy. | ||

That is spectacular and a huge factor in why he seems so godlike ATM. | ||

Look at MC, he is the player that has won the more money. Sure he has won 2 GSL, but look at the number of other tournaments he has participated in (to the point that it is mindboggling, this dude is EVERYWHERE, when does he sleep? this is crazy). Gsl pay out is huge. Look at fruit dealer, he won the very first Gsl open season and that is pretty much the only thing he won, yet he is still one of the highest players on the tournament winnings list | ||

It provides fame for "not yet famous" players. But Stephano's fame is already huge. I don't even think that he wants more (but i'm not in his head). | ||

Pretty sure he didn't practice at all when he was in korea the first time. He said it was boring and only watched TV shows in the result. | ||

The GSL winner gets 30 000 000 WON now (21k€, 25k$). It's a shit load of money but not way more than what he could get in DH/IPL/NASL/MLG/etc.... Spending more than one month in korea for GSL is worthy if there's nothing else to do (like he says from the start). | ||

The players ending up in the top spots got more money since it was only one single elimination tournament starting with 64 players. Today there's Code S, Code A and more GSLs per year. | ||
