I think that it's important to keep the scene alive, and we all love the game. I answered 50-99 because I'm willing to have one or two subs for streamers and when the community is driving events and tournaments, the many many hours of content is easily worth what one would otherwise spend on going to the movies or such.

They shoulda been selling Merch in a store either online or on site for 10 years and it would have been enough business to keep things going. League of Legends store in Korea was selling overpriced $100 official merch that everyone was buying. We could have been getting value for our money

I went by the Netflix line of thought. If I'm willing to pay $10/month for Netflix, I'm willing to do that for Starcraft.
very illegal and very uncool

I'd pay 20+ a month for something that's provided me great joy and amusement for years. But I'm also a doddering old man in my 30s now with financial stability, so I'm obviously aware that isn't a feasible number for many people.

$200+ with merch. Willing to do 10-15$ a month with no merch. Only interested in supporting the KR scene at this point though especially since ESL is keeping most of the money in the regionals. Not that I blame them for that just a reality that KR players were hurt a lot more by the GSL reduction and need the extra help more. I've contributed to KSL and the warditv KR invitational so far. Hoping some more KR specific crowdfunding will be announced by Afreeca.

I give 10 dollars a month for Tasteosis's Patreon, I'd gladly give another 10 or 15 whatever to a worthy SC 2 related cause though. I'm poor but not that poor.

Zero.
I don't use adblocker when I watch streams or the YT vids.
Really not interested in this trend of monthly subscriptions for an increasing number of things.

depends what kind of esports content. NA or KR id pay a good amount. NA is relevant to me and I wanna see it succeed, and KR has a long history in starcraft so id love to suppor that. dont care much about EU or Asia region though unfortunately and wouldnt pay anything. (but i still love to watch many players serral, showtime, etc not to sound like a hater, wait im actually subbed to both of them so i guess at least $10/month?)
Remember that we all come from a place of passion!!

$100+ a month to see GSL in its 2022 state, especially with the Ro10 Round Robins.

the 22% for nothing shouldnt determine the final verdict... even after the poll closes, please consider the other percentages that people are willing to contribute money, so they can enjoy sc2 content.

When I was an active watcher, I probably would have paid 10€ per month for SC2, atleast for the EU scene.
