Look at MC, he is the player that has won the more money. Sure he has won 2 GSL, but look at the number of other tournaments he has participated in (to the point that it is mindboggling, this dude is EVERYWHERE, when does he sleep? this is crazy). Gsl pay out is huge. Look at fruit dealer, he won the very first Gsl open season and that is pretty much the only thing he won, yet he is still one of the highest players on the tournament winnings list 2 years ago yes, but not anymore. The GSL winner gets 30 000 000 WON now (21k€, 25k$). It's a shit load of money but not way more than what he could get in DH/IPL/NASL/MLG/etc.... Spending more than one month in korea for GSL is worthy if there's nothing else to do (like he says from the start). That's for GSTL. GSL is 50.000.000 won which is 44.3k $. if not TL or someone else may want to correct that info on liquipedia. He has said in a past interview that he was open to participating in GSL, if it wouldn't interfere with weekend tournaments. As you probably know, GOM has begun rearranging the groups in Code S to suit the needs of the players who attend weekend tournaments. However, it would seem kinda strange that Millennium and TSL would create a partnership without any of Millennium's players staying there for long periods seeing as other foreigners in the past have stayed at team houses without the teams having to partner up. Hope Stephano will come up with an official/updated answer soon. | ||

GSL is not "money worthy" for a player like Stephano. Right because money is all he cares about. That's what makes him a true competitor, he's in it for the money only. | ||

From what I understand, he took another year off from school because he was making so much money from sc2. lol | ||

I wonder if lebron james plays for free. LOL Did you even think about what you typed? Yes, at a point in an athlete's career they will get noticed by an organization and offered monetary compensation for their work. Until then it's all soley dependent on the athlete's dedication and effort whether or not they get noticed by people with money. Loads of professional athletes grew up in impoverished homes and communities, without the money or lifestyle you claim is necessary to become elite. Don't kid yourself. Stephano worked his ass off at some point either in WC3 or SC2 to get where he is and was already better than 99% of us before he started getting paid. | ||

Anyone else think it's odd that he is streaming/practicing so early in the morning (3am atm), I wonder how much he actually practices with teammates..hope for him he's getting more than just ladder practice, otherwise doesn't seem that worthwhile | ||

Wow that's surprising It might be hard for you to believe this, but true athletes love doing what they do because of reasons other than money. Pretty sure Stephano has made it pretty explicit that he's doing this for the money. Him saying that the financial reward meant he could afford to put school off for a year doesn't mean he's only in it for the money. That could just mean he can support himself in his effort to compete with the best SC2 players. GSL players are the best around, therefore Stephano has reason to enter GSL apart from the prize money. Agathon's statement implied that stephano's sole motivation should be money, which is silly. | ||
