Earning from events isn't what they live off of. Salaries from large orgs is the majority of his income. Not including the wsb he does.
It's something people dont realise. Shahz said the prizepool isn't a lot of money for them. Their salaries are probably 1/3rd the prize pool they get, after their cut.
First place in this event is like 350k. Split between 6 people, each gets around 60k. Taxes will take it down to 40/50 something thousand. These players most likely get at least 5k a month, if not double, triple, quadruple that. I believe it's faker(I know how large he is. Not saying they're on the same level), who gets around 1mil or 1.2mil a year in salary. That's not including sponsorships, prizepool, etc.
