Well that prize money is a bonus that is added to most of the top-clan players' montly payments. Actually i dunno about NoA but players of 3D and SK.swe recieve considerable amounts of monthly payment from their sponsors + prizes won + free hardware + free trips around the world in order to compete in tournaments + lots of fans (unlucky all of em are male :) ).
Divided by 5 people = $6,000. Then, assuming you have sponsors, take out taxes, and you'll be lucky to be left with $4,000. That's $333 a month, or ~$11 a day. Now consider how many hours they put into CS a day. 4? 5? That prize money is NOTHING. It may seem like a lot, but when it comes right down to it its almost nothing, considering the time they put into it. And this is for winning FIRST in the most prestigious tourney CS has to offer. There's thousands and thousands of clans competing for that one spot, and practically none will ever make it. I know I'm making all this fuss when you didn't really mean it that way, but crazy amounts of kids think they can make a hot living off of CS. Maybe one day, but not today.
Maybe thats not a dream life but it sure is pretty funny. Yes you cannot make a future, cannot set up your life on that but you can have lots of fun for 2-3 years of your life and earn money while having fun.
Yes players of just a few teams can have all of those and it shouldn't be an aim for most of the ppl. But as long as you have fun playing CS and feel it doesn't screw up your life go ahaed give it a try. Each period of human life has its own parts of fun. If gaming does not screw your school or future plans, you have nothing to lose. You'll still have lot of years of serious and boring working everyday in the future :)Comment
