The tournament in Jonkoping earned the Swedish team 100,000 SEK (~$12,339) which boosted the team's total to $94,359. This allowed SK to climb over fnatic who were in fourth place, with $87,700 won, this year.

Interestingly, most of the money SK earned was after the replacement of Abdisamad 'SpawN' Mohamed with Marcus 'zet' Sundström. Before zet joined, SK Gaming picked up $17,520, while zet helped the team win $76,839.

The leaders are mTw with $131,423 (three big cheques for winning WCG, WEG and Kode5 make up most of it) and Mousesports are in second place with $128,025. The Germans will be looking to change it this coming weekend at the EPS finals. Interestingly, SK Ladies are ninth among the highest earners in 2008.
