People call me a nerd/geek/loser but whatever. I made bank playing fking video games. LOL

Prize pools in recent tournaments are insanely high though. The DoTa world tournament had a MILLION DOLLARS yes a fking MILLION DOLLARS grand prize. Your team is comprised of 5 people so divide 1m by 5. $250k per person un-taxable.

Single Starcraft 2 tournament winner gets an easy $168k a month (since tournaments are held once a month).

Easy breakdown?

Dota Tourny:
1st place: 1Million
2nd place: 500k
3rd: 200k
4th: 100k
5th-8th: 18k

Starcraft 2 tournaments (talking specifically about the ones in Korea)
Monthly Tournaments
1st: 168k
2nd: 30k
3rd: 12k
4th-8th: 1k
Yearly Tournaments:
1st: 500k
2nd: ???
3rd: ???

Didn't really keep up with the prize pool since other tournaments were running around the same time.
the most i ever got from "pro gaming" was mouse mats from our sponsor :/ i guess the game want popular enough though :P not sure if anyone remembers Delta Force: Black Hawk Down?

Anyway i am:

Car History:
