@~>Dg<~ I'm confused as to why you're ignore the data stated by multiple media outlets, gaming websites, reddit (yes, take with a pinch of salt), forums and even shroud himself. As of today he has 1,905,821 followers and 25,186 subs, with nearly 13 days left in the month, so those figures will only increase.
For arguments sake, let's say he has a consistent 30k subs per month at the lowest tier of $5. I'll also ignore the fact there are other more expensive tiers available and that shroud now averages more than 30k subs a month. 50/50 split the subscription:
30,000 x $2.50 = $900,000 gross
$900k before donations, advertising revenue, YouTube revenue (which will be minimal in the grand scheme), sponsorship, Cloud9 salary and tournaments etc.
How is that hard to grasp?
