Yeah, but if you add up your minimum entry fees that = $7100 (not incl extra $25-30 p.p for finals series, nor does it includes any spectators), then count in a ballpark sponsor contribution of $6000-8000 and only $9000 being given out in prizes, means you're still spending substantial quantities on overheads/venue fees etc, and the SC2 part of the prize pool has barely gone up (which basically ran 2012's growth) and the other 2 games that are getting a HUGE boost;

ACL Gold Coast 2012 Prizes
SC2: $1750 [$2500] +750
COD: $2000 [$3500] +1500
HALO: $2000 [$3000] +1000

So out of a total $3250 in prize growth (YoY), 23% went to SC2 (the main game in 2012), 31% went to HALO (the dead game from 2012) and a whopping 46% went to COD, which is looking about the same size as last year.

EDIT:

When will ACL ever earn the SC2 community's respect?

Maybe when you respect them back for growing your company?
