That was basically what I was trying to show.. though, if you win you could get some serious (5-10k) cash.. I'm not sure how CGS works as far as prize money/bonus'.. I know that the first one I saw was like 100k split 10ways.. and CEVO has UP TO 10k for champions, but that's split at least 5 ways.. not including any costs endured (servers, travel, equipment), which hopefully at that level you would be sponsored and it would be pretty low.

Well, I know they have satellite tv coverage for CGS but it's on some obscure channel T101 on DirecTV.. if the coverage expands, then more sponsors == higher pay.. as it stands.. the coverage is SOMEWHAT lacking.. minus the internet.
