Hey ill take those couple thousand for working as a caster 9 to 9, 6 days a week, for two monts worth of work, and im not even joking.


Even if you could get that much work, which you can't, that is terrible pay compared to almost any other job in the US. Assuming 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and 9 weeks into 2 months, that's $3.08 an hour, disgustingly low.



3$ an hour as a caster? Really?

it's more like 35-40$, plus accommodation.

Your comment disgust me TB, I understand that you become a Youtube star and you are making a tone of money, but if you don't find casting to be rewarding please stop and spend those weekends to improve your Youtube channel.
I like your "WTF is" youtube show, but your starcraft 2 commentary was always mediocre since you never really understood this game.

TB said that's what working 12 hr/day, 6 day/week for two months for $2k would average out to, and he's right. I'm sure he knows better than you or I what casting at a major event actually pays while you're there.

Jesus peoples reading comprehensions are low, total biscuit is breaking down the math for the guy who said he take 2k to work 72 hours x 4 weeks. You only make yourself look stupid by attacking total biscuit. But i get ir, hes an "internet" personality so you get the right to shit on him when ever you want. Heres an idea, if you dont like his casting of sc2, dont watch it.

GG idra, ill always remember getting 0-2'd by you in WCG qualifiers in bw. Hope everything works out for ya.
Limited Edition, lets do some simple addition, $50 for a T-Shirt is just some ignorant bitch shit.

I am not sure if Idra will enjoy school. I hope he returns for LOTV, or Starbow whenever that blows up.

Who knows, maybe that RTS game day9/Artillery are working on will make people return to esports.

Does he work 12 hr/day 6 day/week for $2k?

No, it's more like around 12 hr /day , 4-5 day.

Really get tired of seeing posters call out other posters when they themselves have no idea what the situation is. Purakushi has been around a while. I'm not sure if you forgot about this in your haste to call out another poster...but sometimes people lurk for long periods of time, or even ask to have a new account.

Perhaps you would be better served making sure you understand the situation before flaming other posters.

Glad to see that you finally are done with this horrible game, I made the same decision myself about 6 months ago. Even though you are probably still going to "hang around", I will for sure remember you from the BW era, and try to forget everything after that. I think it was a really brave decision to go to Korea by yourself, especially considering your age at the time, watching you there kinda got me into Brood War and Korean culture in general, and I would like to thank you for that.

Long live BW and normal people.
In life you can obtain all sorts of material wealth, but the real treasure is the epic feelings you get while doing something you love.

Just to give the benefit of the doubt to the guy, you can also get into BW today or 1-2 years ago and love the game just as much as someone who was around back in the day.

it's over $40 an hour.

That's $24k a year for, say, 12 weeks of work. If you only get to cast one weekend a month


Your math is awesome

Not going to blame you for being mature and getting out now. I think a lot of people are still a bit delusional regarding the actual "career prospects" in the esport industry, perhaps because this game is what a lot of people define their lives by. Even if you can scrape enough cash to keep going now, the opportunity cost of not going back to school grows with each passing year. Good luck out there in the real world.
