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.
The current top 10 highest earning teams are (click the team's name to see how they earned their money):
1. $131,423.00 - mTw
