I still cannot believe that the first place winner gets $150,000 because that is a years pay to a professional job such as engineering or in the medical field.. And gamers get it! Man we are moving up in the world!

yes but in the real world, the best engineers (who are probably in higher positions from where they started) gets say what, 5 million+ dollars a year?

sure we are moving up, but its not like every gamer is suddenly able to make a living off it

holy crap, $500,000? Why do they spend so much on PK, you'd think they could get more spectators/sponsors if they did a more popluar game.
