Only top 8 can live from playing sc2, not that much

Pro gamers also get a monthly wage from their pro team. They don't live only on prize money
And the time frame is half a year.

Addtionally pro players also earn money with giving lessons for 50$/h

sponsorships i bet too

it's no mystery you don't play games to earn a living
even in korea it's not different apart from the top x players

and there are people like grubby who make up to 200,000 a year-

i wouldn't compare poker to any video game ;-)

Well ask Elky Ex-BW Progamer, now Poker millionaire, he will tell u otherwise

I have a good friend that I've known since we were kids. He's currently in college himself, but manages to pay all of his school/housing/food expenses by poker winnings alone. He's not a millionaire by any means, but I've seen first hand him taking in $40,000 in an online poker tournament. It's insane

you didn't get what i said.
i said videogames for money => bad,
poker for money => good
ye he made 4-5 million euro with poker and not with sc

Negative U said "GAMES" = bad. Coma didnt get what u thought, not what u said. Cant blame him for that.

i said i wouldn't compare poker to any video game since poker is far superior in getting $$$
i dunno if the order was wrong, in german you use the latter comparison as the suprior one

I like Poker.
