Counter-Strike Source: CS:Source 2007 Money List

By: Jack Westerman - Published January 13, 2008 at 3:47 PM EST - Writer Archive
2007 was a huge year for Counter Strike Source. GotFrag has compiled our annual list of the big money winners for this past year in CS:S and the Chicago Chimera are laughing all the way to the bank.


This list attempts to cover the 2007 prize winnings and money earned for the major leagues and LAN events for CS:Source. This list is an approximation compiled from various sources and is only an estimation based on published public records of the events and league payouts. It is not an all encompassing list but should closely indicate the least amount of money each team made this year.

Criteria for this list were that each event or league must have at least a $2,500 first place payout and should include a majority of established professional teams.

Update: The updated totals DO NOT show winnings for any other game but CS:Source. The totals for CGS teams are the calculated winnings for the CS:Source teams after the prize money has been divided for all games. Several more events have been added.
