Dreamhack announced a new prize purse of 1.5 Million Swedish krona, which are about 234.000 $. O_O
On Friday they're going to announce on which games the money is spend due to a live stream.
I hope it's going to be the biggest sc2 event outside korea. The last dreamhack was just superb.

1,5 million Prize Purse

eSports is a global gaming phenomena involving millions of youths around the world. Today, DreamHack presents the Prize Purse for its events in 2011, where the first official games will be announced on February 4th via livestream.

It's a shit ton, but bare in mind that it's for all the games that are played there - like HoN, CS, and all that jazz.

Still a whole lot though.

CS will probably get the most but SC2 might get more $/player.

I can't see CS getting less than $75,000. SC2 will probably get up to about $35-40,000.

Also, remember this will be the total prize pool over DHS and DHW, so cut my above predictions in half :p

Well, hang on there, DHW10 had 180k SEK (like 18k EUR or 25k USD) for one SC2 tournament out of 650k SEK overall prize purse, so your theory would actually be cutting the prize money down per tournament while the overall event prize pool would more than double. Estimate this to be a lot bigger.

True, I am quite retarded at 3am. They'll probably be about my estimate actually. I'm very very interested to see what QL and HoN get too.
