That's just the money from tournament wins though. FlaSh gets a very high monthly salary + some marketing stuff money prolly. I don't think Mr. fatal1ty ever received salaries.
butchji is alive omg !

Quote I don't think Mr. fatal1ty ever received salaries.


Pretty sure he has, and even if he wouldnt have back in the playing days he surely does now with the brand he got, would bet that fatal1ty has made more money overall with esports than any other player.
Parent
I'm sure he has had more income than just his prize money. Not only did he pour a lot of effort and money into his company, back than he was the "posterboy" for competitive gaming, so I'm sure he was getting payed by sponsers to represent them.

But yeah, this is just the money from tournaments, otherwise there might also be LoL players on there. I'm pretty sure some of them are making a lot of money from streaming alone.
Parent
You can't imagine how much money top starcraft players can make :p
Parent
boxer was ridiculously overpriced for a while, and I believe nada scored a 600k contract few years back as well.
Parent
Probably Ocelote or some TSM guy from LoL
Woaaah Atarax, hows you man? That has been a long time ever since I saw you posting here.

Parent

Cypher is the #1 earner in QL i believe , followed by Rapha
e: are u dueling ?
Parent
Nope, maybe once in two months? Sometimes I play PQL (<3 CPMA) in rul3x.

Duel is good, it would ve been good to compete against Cooller and co., but it requiers too much time what I like to spend on other things and on the other hand I hate to imagine to play without my mates and thats the main reason I dont play it often. :D

Seewi is awsome player (Clan Arena mostly.) and I heard adze is going well aswell, good opponents for sure, if you need
Parent
Rapha, Cypher and Cooller in order.
Parent
ye true my bad , still both are pretty close :>
Parent
surprised to not see a single LoL pro player there
LoL has been around only for couple of years and there isn't much money you can receive from tournaments outside of Season finals so...
Parent
LoL is quite new game compared to other games, as well as being team based game, doesn't involve so much money on each person.
Parent
"Playing video games for a living is the dream of pretty much every nerd at one point or another."

corrected, as i and prolly many others would go all nuts playing 12h on daily basis.

Also not surprised too see that SC2 is mostly on the top, as after all, its probably best money income for a single person to play.
where are the 1.6 players walle robban etc?

and what about rapha cooler fox cypher?

?
Someone has followed fatal1ty on facebook I see ^^
