I don't think they earn much :D SK.DotA earned ~$13K. this money is split into a minimum of five players+mamangers etc ... I really doubt they earn much ^^

Well, you know that 13k is only prize money? Don't quote me on this, but I'm quite certain that professional DotA players get a base salary on top of their split of the prize money, I know this happens in Starcraft for sure.

well i could say that you are right. But Dota isn't GAME it's just a mode or map(depends on persons point of view) and SC is GAME itself :)

When I was making those article for Prodota.ru , I haven't found any information about Asians LANs..
Only known site for me is dota.sgamer.com , and it is hard to read articles in Simplified Chinese))
Maybe you'll help me to add those tournaments to table?

you'd also add the national Pro Series by ESL, avoiding the unkown italian one, the romanian EPS for example had around 1500 euros as prize, near 500€ for the first place achieved by TeG and something less by IGG.
not?

Hahahaha so funy to know a crew of people can win 13000 US dollars just playing on computer (A LOT Simplified, but certainly true).

Knowing that people broke his back during a year for 12000 :(

I won't be surprised, that the players earn something like 1.5k-2k (europeen players).

The money prizes are not the principal revenu of the players, its the sponsors that they attract and the power house they play for that count.

In an interview Maelk said that some months their salary is enough to make a living from it, i don't think that he was talking about living from a 500 dollar salary.

This is pocket change compared to other games. But not shabby for a hobby i guess. CS players get 40k (team) for every major tourney they win.
there are no bad heroes, only bad teammates !
(last year)  #61 seacrac
 
Sorry v1lat, but asian tourneys are huge. SMM in November will have 1st price of around $10000. Kingsurf, Zenith and Fnatic will attend this one i believe, so whoever win the tourney will top the chart. Kingsurf won last year's SMM. Also, as the interview with top Asian players had indicated, they attended local LAN events every week. The price purse of online events simply just cant compared to offline events.

for asian lans, fnatic got around $2000 from wgt indonesia, then another SGD 5000 from wgt singapore, then there was ESTC LAN at thailand (with the name XcN, finished 2nd behind Ks). additional $1200 from ADC season 1, and from indonesia prelims qualifier of ACG and ESWC, they get total $1500.

from local tournament (nearly every 2 months in indonesia we have local tournament with total prizes $1000, no1 prize $500), i think they got around $1500 too..
