	Pash 13:30 23/1/2004	mh why should it be more?? That is more than some small professional golf tournys, darts tournys, snooker tournys etc get in a prize purse. That is still alot of money to be competing for considering the faveourite clans for the title get paid to travel there in the first place. Also at least with the cpl (unlike the cxg) the gaming community is guranteed a decently run tournament in all of those games. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	[z]Fred zebras 13:37 23/1/2004	mh was giving an opinion on the difference I think, perhaps not saying that $150,000 was not enough but instead that it should have been distributed differently. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Duellist Professional Gamer 13:38 23/1/2004	It's interesting to compare prize money for Computer Games to other wannabe sports. The World Darts Championship that recently took place and was televised on the BBC had a total prize fund of £205,000 and that has been running since 1978. You can win the same or even more money playing computer games and it has been going only a few years. Now I'm wondering is it more difficult to win a darts tournament or a computer games tournament?

	Blitz Editor UKTerrorist 13:46 23/1/2004	Darts....cos if you can't play, you're fecked. In CS, at least, if you're pap you still might be surrounded by four world class players :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Gilga 16:44 23/1/2004	Thought this event was supposed to be bigger and better with the new venue and stuff, but prize money going from 70k to 30k aint that clever. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	pie Black Death Warriors 16:51 23/1/2004	thats what i was thinking ¬_+ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Liq 16:58 23/1/2004	LOL he said gay :))))))) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Mag 17:20 23/1/2004	Duellist thats £205k, this is $250k, also the darts player doesn't have to split his cheque 5 ways. No CS player is going to earn anyway near as much as the top darts players. Phil Taylor won £50k for one tournament, I doubt Heaton has won half that in his whole cs 'career'. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Otis Rush! 17:33 23/1/2004	no he has, but we see your point [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	St_George g30rg3h UKTerrorist 21:40 23/1/2004	go battlefield go [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Coopsy Landed 04:14 24/1/2004	I read somewhere that SK were on about $30-$40k a year... that would mean Heaton has definitely earnt more than £50k in his whole career. I know people have said it before but pld CPL for not going mad with the prize money a la CXG... too much too quickly imo [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
