question for pros

[Freakazoid423]

what do you guys do to make money besides posibly winning a couple tournaments? i know you guys practice a lot so i was just curious

[Adrenalize]

They go to work like any regular person.

[HEA7]

it really depends on the pro actually

[Toomuchmooin]

For example Walshy has Kiaeneto

[Danimal04]

Most pro's are full time students too.

[Crinkly Duke]

Pros now get some sort of revenue from streaming I believe, not much but it's something worth noting.

[Jewjitsu]

Some of them work, and some of them probably get money from sponsors. Plus they get some money from gametime, lessons, fr's, etc.

[Chilley]

Tsquared does G4tv

[Plaid Pancakes]

ninja gets like 400$ a week from streaming, sponsors pay some money (big ones like nos xperia play red bull etc) FRs Gametime tournaments, and its rare but they do do public apperances

There are only 2 people that I can think of that are full time students. One of them is me.

I dont know about full time but im pretty sure Ace, Ninja, Thrust, Flamesword, Tizoxic, Snipedown, Snake Bite, Lethul, Amish, Adrenaline, Bravo, and Arkanum all attend class regularly. Theres probably some more i missed too but these are the ones off the top of my head.

Also read on MLG.com somewhere that players on teams finishing Top 8 all get something as well. Not much, but something for going and playing. Somewhere in the $200-$400 range I think it was. Not 100% sure on the numbers.

EDIT: This is new to the 2011 season.

What do you mean by this, prize money? There has always been prize money up to 8th place, or are you talking about the stipend which i believe is for top 16 and has been around before 2011 but it got a little boost this year. Either way thats not really money, its hopefully enough to cover your flight hotel and food although I doubt it ever is, so at best you would break even. I think alot of pros just still have to be supported by their parents sadly, I remember gilkey saying in a chat one time how rich he was from being pro, and doing the math you would make way more working a minimum wage job. Thats the saddest part of becoming pro right now in halo imo, is that I think only 20-30% of the pros right now can actually make an kind of money.

I'm pretty sure high school is considered being a full time student. In terms of full time for college yeah I don't know how many credits pro's take a semester but I was under the impression most pro's were in school to a certain extent.
