Well he did something like 600€ (~740$) on a 4 hours streaming session with about 13k people watching, once. | ||

Maybe someone more in tune with the French scene can confirm this, but I'm pretty sure Millenium is one of the richest foreign teams, I don't know quite where they are in comparison with Quantic, EG and Complexity, but I'm pretty sure they're up there. | ||

Far from EG for sure, but probably richer than almost any European team, yes. | ||

Well Lewellys once said that "money was not a problem and people needed to stop assuming Millenium could not afford players such as Stephano". He added that Mill had more budget than an other big european team but I can't remember which one. | ||

The money comes from : Their website: News/streams/events in french for most of games and gaming events, millions of pages views every months with many ads and their sponsors everywhere. Dailymotion : 3 Web TV, TV1 30M views (50 000 unique viewers during last ASUS ROG), TV2 13M views, TV3 4.4M views, all with video game content and ads again. The money they get from Stephano's fame is in fact a pretty small part of their income. And they have a ton of money, just with their website and their TVs | ||

They recruited the best players from Quake to play in their shootmania team for exemple. I hope they will improve their LoL team though. And recruit another top tier player for their sc2 lineup. | ||

I really don't think EG can afford something that Mill can't. People underestimate Millenium money as much as they overestimate EG money. | ||

I wonder if Complexity is more wealthy, considering Stephano tried switching to Complexity when he was still under Millenium's contract. (I can't think of any other reason besides money that Stephano would want to leave Millenium for Complexity.) | ||

To get an idea you need to look at millenium as a whole not just the starcraft 2 team, they just built a shootmania team with Strenx in it, recruited Cypher the Quakecon 2012 winner, they have 4 channels that deliver content from 10 AM to late in the night which are getting a lot of viewers, CDiscount one of the sponsor was the third e-commerce website in France for the year 2011 just behing ebay and amazon, with numbers close to amazon, it's not just a random sponsor, and you know MSI. | ||
