2020 :  IEM Katowice/20202019 : IEM Season XIII - Katowice2018 : IEM Season XII - World ChampionshipPrize pool extending until the 60th place, but this is still top heavy. 2019 was pretty much the same thing, bar no WCS points for the 45-60th places, ditto in 2018. So I don't think any fairer prize split will happen anytime soon if events stay offline. | ||

I was just reacting to the post like, is it even useful to post that given it won't change. But at least, your post makes me a bit more optimistic about it. | ||

Granted I think the wider issue of sustainability, I.e. a decent pro making enough to keep playing full time and keeping a stable scene that new blood can better isn’t super affected by Katowice’s split. It certainly doesn’t do harm to have a less too heavy pool but it alone doesn’t fix wider year-long issues. The ESL Cups are a great earner/blooding ground, WCS serves the foreign scene very well, by and large as far as I can tell. GSL and especially ST don’t have huge pools trickling down especially given how stacked and talented that region is. | ||

Realy would like to see the prize distribution way flater than it is now. I don t care one bit, how many people get crazy rich from this, it s about how many player can make a living wage. I get that the first point is important to atract players to your game. But imo we are way past that point, now it s most important, that we can keep as many players as possible for as long as possible in the scene. Thats only going to happen with less top heavy price distributuions. | ||
