well I read somewhere that M2K posted he had only won like $20,000 his whole life in competitive video games. He's been playing, what, like 6 or 7 years? Hell I make that much money waiting tables 4 hrs a night for 2 summers. And then I get to go home and play smash with my friends.
The life of a professional smasher seems pretty much like the life of a single mom living pay-check-to-pay-check; you make just enough to get by......and every once in a while you have a rainy day that puts you behind.
Poor M2K. That $12,500 sure woulda helped him before he left off for college.
But on the bright side, I hear that Halo winners can take home up to $60,000 per tournament.
