EPTNice article on Polt aka "Captain America". I like the fact that e-sports gets more coverage day by day. I didn't realize Polt that much annually. Awesome to read though cause he seems like a truly nice guy.
I make 6 figures a year playing video games [Polt]

You're only counting prize money, there's also the sponsor money Polt is a boss. His career has had ups and downs like all SC2 pros who've been playing for so long but go back and watch his games against MC (who was at the time #1 on the Korean ladder) from GSL Open Season 1 back in 2010. He destroyed MC using tactics that were unheard of at the time like base sniping, backstabs and pincer attacks. | ||

Officially more than Nestea? I know Nestea was third for a really long time and Polt was fourth, but Nestea hasn't won decent money in quite a while now so it was only a matter of time before Polt took third place in winnings. | ||
