That's the one! The winner pulled in $13,500 USD. I must have misinterpreted "paycheck" in your comment "nobody is getting a paycheck for playing competitive games."

[edit] Ah, $21k, not $31k. Thanks. [edit] And yes, it was recently completed and isn't actually ongoing. Not sure what I was smoking when I made so many false statements.

[edit] Maybe I was thinking the tournament starting October 28th, http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/VANT36.5_National_Starl... for $33k total prize pool.

Yeah you could've well meant the VANT event, I forgot about Afreeca just announcing another large one. Who knows, with how things are going we might see professional play again in Brood War and of course some of the current players were at the top when it existed.
