I think the same. Not like those other online game which can make much more money huh.

500 only? Where you get that fact?

Then what about those top players ? Loda,Dendi,Mushi ?

They spend one day 12 hour on training , 7 days per week . U can read from iceiceice interview.

And the main question is how much he can earn if he play 8 hour per day , well , could be 0 income .

when you are at world level then talk about that.
also when you got SPONSOR too... i think

Those top tier teams are paid salary by their sponsors/e-sport company. So of course they can earn a living and by winning tournament, it will definitely help. As statistics shows, those who won TI3 has an estimated earnings of almost half million USD for the whole year, which is higher than all of those average workers.

But better make sure you win top 3 position or there wont be much. So eventually those players will have to find jobs in the e-sports industry once they had enough of playing competitively.

In the end, still have to get jobs to make a living.

if ur skill is at that level...haha...
just join some online tourney,without that much training maybe u already can win urself quite some name and find some sponsors,without sacrificing current job...the real deal is,getting a good team with high skill- -"

OK I stand corrected, I thought they have sponsor and monthly salary.

However, isn't iceiceice a professional? IINM a professional is someone who engages in a specified activity as one’s main paid occupation?
But Celldweller said

Aren't those that enter tournaments professionals ?

IINM a professional is someone who engages in a specified activity as one’s main paid occupation ?

Also...do you imply that if one is not that level means one does not have the right to discuss about it ?

All valid points you got there.

But Loda has been playing for quite some time...

Not all tournaments are for professionals, there's semi-pro and amateur tournaments for casual players as well.

correction: when enter to world level of pro-ness baru think want to hand out resign letter to become full time gamer or not

Ah yes indeed there are, my bad as Celldweller didn't state which type.

Of course weighing of pros and cons is a must, calculated risk.

Yah sorry for the confusion .
