bro evo....u do know that such sponsor is only legit in S korea currently...outside of SK, only the little app factory sponsoring team liquid, i dno who sponsors EG, till now, still 0 big company sponsors E sport. while in SK, companies who sponsors Esport are really really big names like SK telecom....its like.......telekom malaysia, maxis, astro sponsoring starcraft teams to compete in leagues, pay the players to wear their jersey during competition as advertisements on Live TV broadcast.....not to mention malaysia, the next country possible would be China, Germany or Sweden only....which also will take few years...

ok, maybe i stereotype too much in starcraft = esport. its legit for other games in Esport (etc. SF4, FPS....) to have tons of sponsors worldwide but in sc.....till now only a few big names outside of korea...especially brood war...

wehh duh thats your problem lol.

ill let you know that before sc2, WoW was the highest prize pot esport (not to be confused with highest income one can earn annually, in which case that still goes to sc1) or money involved per event.

surprising? you may check out the 75k (25k per member as per team consist of 3 members) prizepot for the WoW tourney at blizzcon. even SC1/War3 never ever yield that high tongue.gif

and hell, even for sc1, the money/income are mostly from sponsors/other sources and not from sc1 tournaments directly itself.
