100k a year, you could probably buy a BW B-Teamer for that. Still no were near Flash's 450k a year but hey sc2 is still new.



Wait...you don't really think that a bw b-teamer makes 100k a year!? lol.


People have vastly inflated impressions of what they made. A BW B teamer probably got like ~$12,000 max I would guess.

Source on Flash? 2010 thread says only 250k/year.

In fact, said thread only shows 4 of the top 30 players have 100k/yr or higher salaries (Flash, JD, Bisu, Kal) - and I think NaDa's 800/3yr contract was still going too.

B teamers get an allowance to live on.

: P This is TL, home of the approximations that are often very far off.

: P I remember in the BW days when I always wondered how B-Teamers even lived off the next to zero salary gaming all day lives, but now that I found out they had 100k a year and just decided not to spend it while saving? They're set for the next few years banking that much cash ^^

I'm curious as to whether or not he will live in the EG house.

He sorta is right now. No idea how permanent it will be, but it's seems that he doesn't have issues staying in team houses.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Congrats to Stephano. I remember when he had to choose between going to uni and SC2 and he set the goal of "earning 50k a year" - mission accomplished and surpassed! (160k earnings so far + 100k a year) :D



And well, not that it matters, really, but if the 2010 BW thread is to be believed and things haven't drastically improved since then (which is unlikely, given the sponsor situation), 100k a year puts Stephano firmly into the Top 5 as far as Starcraft progamer salaries go.
