Today, we are extremely excited to announce the launch of the website SC2Earnings.com. We have been hard at work creating the idea, planning its development, and finally seeing it come to life. We hope that you will use the website regularly to see how much money Starcraft 2 professional players earn from major tournament winnings and to compare and contrast which race and region produce the highest numbers.

SC2 Earnings Launches Official Website

Learn exactly how much money your favorite Starcraft 2 players have made in their career



SC2 Earnings is proud to announce the official launch of our website on June 1st, 2011. After months of planning, development, and hard work the team behind the website has created a stable platform for fans to search and explore. As Starcraft 2 becomes a dominant force in the world of e-Sports it was clear that the community needed a resource that would calculate the earnings of their favorite players and teams with a variety of search options including race and region.



SC2 Earnings will strive to update the website frequently with all results from online tournaments, LAN events, show matches, and leagues with a combined prize pool of $1000 USD or more. With a database containing teams and players from North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania regions, SC2 Earnings will become a major resource and tool for the Starcraft 2 community.



“Professional sports players salaries are readily available to sports fans, however, this is not a luxury we have in the world of e-Sports.” said Justin Loeb, Founder and Owner of the website. “Our goal is to give fans a small glimpse into how much money their favorite players are actually accumulating over the course of time.”

I'm surprised FruitDealer has made more money than Mvp or even MKP. I forgot how much money there was in the open GSLs.

All that aside, I like it and applaud your efforts to bring more information to the community. I have your site bookmarked and will closely follow which of the two sites will emerge as the definitive one.





edit: also, just for better clarity, you should insert a comma after the thousands: $165,790.00 is much easier to read than $165790.00 Cool site, but you will need to compete with that other SC2 money ranking sites (linked above) with very frequent updates, the ability to sort/search after events as well as countries and starting to include the smaller weekly tournaments (I mean, the weekly Zotac and Go4SC2 cups are in the 50$-200$ range, but all told, they have given out well over 10,000 dollars in prize money since their inception, money that's not included in your rankings as I understand).All that aside, I like it and applaud your efforts to bring more information to the community.

Deathlabel Profile Joined May 2010 United States 50 Posts #10 I thought there were already other sites for this, i think the readability it the best for your site sofar with the insert of some commas to separate and show thousands and what not would be an improvement, but all around good site. Good luck with it.

Almost $5000 worth of smaller event!At the moment, I beleive this site offer nothing that http://ehcg.djgamblore.com already do, and it do it better and more. The only thing going for this new site, is the readability. "the CIA should start using TvT as a torture technique" - telcontar

However, I highly, highly recommend adding the smaller tournaments if you really want an accurate assessment of prize rankings. These smaller tournaments pump out a lot more money into the scene than you think and your results will be severely skewed if you continue to ignore them. I understand that the workload for adding such events increase dramatically but if I can do it then so can you guys.



To anyone wondering, I'll still be keeping

SC2Earnings Profile Joined May 2011 Canada 15 Posts #18 Thanks to everyone for their comments thus far, to clear up some of the questions/concerns.



1) Adding the weekly Zotac and Go4SC2 cups.

- Originally I had thought not to add these into the earnings, however, as you mentioned (Bobster) combined they do create a large prize purse overtime. I will take a look into how to best integrate such tournaments.



2) Adding more players, more tournaments and having a bigger database.

- The reason for only including tournaments with a $1000 USD or greater prize pool is really quite simple. We are interested in tracking the top players from each region. While it might be useful information to a select few who the 175th ranked North American player is that won $50.00 at a local LAN event is, to the general user it is not needed information.



Is $1000 too high of an amount? Maybe it should be lowered to $500? At the moment it is hard to answer that question, but, it will be something that I follow and track to best suit the information published.



3) Being able to link to the events page and see what the standings were.

- Originally this was something that was going to be include, but I decided not to include an events page. The main reason being, that type of information is readily available. You can visit websites such as Team Liquid, or the tournament website to view the standings of the event. The main reason for SC2Earnings was to combine the total earnings and give you one single number information that is not readily available on those websites.



4) Sort the columns by Name, Team, Date, etc.

- The reason for not being able to sort the columns is we feel there is no need. We don't see why people would need to sort player names alphabetically, or why they would need to sort it by team. If you need to see how players on a certain team stack up against each other, you go to the team page. The dates are all in descending order with the newest on top, and oldest on the bottom. As for country, I guess you could make a case for needing to sort it, but we feel the region specific search should narrow down the countries in the list with the highest earnings on top. www.sc2earnings.com

Thank you for the post Burpies, I commend you for filling in such information. As I mentioned in my previous post the main reason for not including smaller tournaments is the need for the information. Perhaps there will be a better system than $1000USD and up, and like I said before I will look into it and see what I think works best.



Once again, thanks for the post, and great job filling in such information. Thank you for the post Burpies, I commend you for filling in such information.
