GSL/WCS has been/is heavily Blizzard funded and the global stream subscription have always been used to pay tastosis/wolfdor and run the global stream. I guess they are making enough now to put some of it into the prize pool. | ||

MLG also sold ~280k worth of cosmetics (ticket free) thats an extra 70k+ making it 120k+ TI3 was madness sold ~5 MILLION USD which added ~1.25 million to the base pool of 1.6m making it nearly 2.9m prizepool. (for a tournament that lasted ~10 days) TI3 paid for itself +production costs +plenty of free publicity +goodwill from fans and valve made millions extra and dota fans feel good about themselves (yes i was one of the suckers but hey i like it) | ||

There ain't gonna be much of a crowd at $55-$90. I'm not sure what prices are like in Montenegro, but I pay that much for lunch some days. | ||

White-collar professional in a large metropolitan city? You'll never see that kind of prices for lunch in London unless you are literally so high up the company/government, that the company/government pays your lunch for you. It's even beyond parliament minister levels now. I am talking high management/senior official levels here. Teamliquid.net, where the 1% hang out. | ||

It's even beyond parliament minister levels now. I am talking high management/senior official levels here. Teamliquid.net, where the 1% hang out. I'm mid-level managment at best and get my lunch bought for me. You might be surprised at how easy it is to write things off (Seinfeld reference anyone?). Anyways, appitizers + entre + 2 beers = lots of money. Lunch was $220 yesterday but that was for 4. EDIT - my main point is that its not a lot especially for the amount of content. I mean... a friggin' movie will set you back $30 if you bough popcorn and a pop with the ticket. | ||
