Counter-Strike: The 2007 Counter-Strike Prize Money List

By: Jeff Suckow - Published January 05, 2008 at 12:18 AM EST - Writer Archive
GotFrag takes a look at who won what after yet another big year for Counter-Strike 1.6.

Yet another year has come and gone, and while the CS scene in North America saw some stark changes, the rest of the world seemed almost unaffected by the start of the CGS.

While last year we saw the four top teams end up with more than $100k in prize money, all of the top 25 finishers this year ended up with over $10k.

Below you can find the list of the top 25 prize money earners for the year. All prize money is represented in US Dollars, and has been converted where necessary using the current exchange rates.

Actual prize money may differ depending on the state of exchange rates at the time of the event. Also, only prize money from 1.6 tournaments were included in the calculations, so teams who participated in both 1.6 and Source tournaments will only have the totals from their 1.6 winnings represented here.  In addition, only money awarded as prizes were used.  Money from sponsorships or weekly payments from leauges such as NGL One and CEVO Pro were also not included.
