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?

I won't be surprised, that the pla
The money prizes are not the principal revenu of the pla 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. | |

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 pla

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.. | |
