How Smash Ultimate Pros Make Money
A professional Super Smash Bros. Ultimate player's income is a diverse mix of tournament winnings, team salaries, sponsorships, and content creation. Major tournaments like EVO, Genesis, and formerly the Smash World Tour boast the largest prize pools, where a top placement can result in a five-figure payday. However, unlike many larger esports, the grassroots nature of Smash means consistent income often comes from other sources. A monthly salary from a team like Team Liquid, T1, or Panda Global provides a stable financial base for top players. Sponsorships with peripheral companies, controller manufacturers, and non-endemic brands are crucial. The most successful pros, like MkLeo and Sparg0, also build massive brands through streaming on Twitch and creating YouTube content, generating significant revenue from subscriptions, ads, and fan donations. This calculator helps model these streams to project a realistic annual income.
