SK-Gaming's very own June Park tops the Gravitas Money Ranking with almost twice as much as second placed Moon.With an impressive $93,027 USD racked up already, Lyn leads the Gravitas Gaming Money List by over $40,000.
Jang 'Moon' Jae Ho heads the chasing pack with a cool $52,221 USD, just ahead of the chinese pair of Sky and Infi. Lucifron was the biggest climber this month. His surprise showing at Blizzcon saw him jump 30 places, from 43rd to 13th. The Spaniard's leap meant that Susiria fell out of the top 20 for the first time since its inception.
The top eight looks like this:
1. SK.Lyn $93,027
2. MYM]Moon $52,221
3. WE.Infi $32,699
4. WE.Sky $30,173
5. MYM]Grubby $29,579
6. mouz.Fly100% $25,159
7. WE.TeD $21,026
8. GG.ToD $20,022
TeD was the other noteworthy mover, going from 15th to 7th. His victory at MGC was not enough to stave off the Koreans, however, as they continue to dominate the national ranking.
Lyn's success also puts SK-Gaming atop the team ranking. They lead MYM by a mere $3,000. With only two major tournaments left this year, the question now is whether Lyn can make the magical 100,000.

Good Job LYN!!!! Keep it up!!! =D
btw, this ranking has team-earnings splitted into players. nubby hasnt won 29k in his 450 tournaments he played this year. (more than all players together)
nice Lyn anyway

I suspect this GG ranking counts the portion players take from winning team based tournaments, then no wonder Moon will have had that amount of prize money since MYM have won NGL finals, RotK and WC3L etc.
Wouldnt you want to keep playing the game you like?
Anyways im pretty sure half of the gamers nowadays have some kind of degree in something, its not that hard to study and play at the same time. Pretty sure also that lots of gamers are taken into the sponsor firms also. Im sure its easy to get connections to companies when your a top player in a game and your famous for it. Pretty much everyone of those "geeks" know how to handle PC's and electronic equipment.
Esport has changed so much, that you really cant say that "yeah right after that "pro career" what !?". Im sure they have tought about that too.
PS. HAHA really why are you posting this.. Your 21yrs and whining on SK-Gaming.
Must be jealousy. Sad.
