The ESL has released a survey of the prize money given away in the ESL Masters. The overall prize money of €160,000 EUR has been given away with a system where players and teams receive awards for winning matches and special payments for placing on top positions. The money deducted from prize money of players and/or teams, due to them having too many penalty points, has been put into a pot which was divided between all participants of the respective ESL Masters tournament.
Warcraft 3
In the Warcraft 3 tournament it was
HoT who had contributed the most money into the pot after having collected 5 minor penalties, which add to an overall deduction of 10% of his earnings. Together with the contributions of the two kings,
Grubby and
ToD, that makes around €70 EUR that each participant of the Warcraft tournament received.
Counter-Strike
In Counter-Strike alone, contributions of
Team Pentagram, which were penalized with a 8% deduction, make three fourths of the overall Counter-Strike pot which awarded every participating team around €200 EUR.
