"1990 – Jaedong’s birth year which makes him the youngest player to be competing with the top earners in the business;"
Is flash not competing with the top earners in the business??

I'm really surprised no one knows Thresh... considering the whole D-22 soso link, and I remember reading articles where soso mentioned him.
Granted that was forever and an age ago. And yeah, he isn't exactly known for his Starcraft skill... but he still made a lot of money from gaming (even if it was from selling Xfire).

Soso i remember as a starcraft player but nope dont remember thresh at all
|
a xbox progamer ^^
pretty funny, but sadly i expect this too be more and more common, eventhough they will never be able to compete with good ol' mouse/keyboard ...

Flash > Jaedong. Come on Kespa. ._.
|

Thresh is one of the first pro gamer ever, and his career earnings are probably higher than JD's. Companies like Razer owe a lot to him.
Fat was on MTV and even if you don't like Halo or MLG (which I don't), you can't deny that T2's earnings have been really impressive.
Points for the people who remember Killcreek. o.o

There can never be a list about anything that'd please everyone, so I think that list is alright.
Never heard of that T2 guy but the rest surely deserve to be on that list.

Jaedong is called 'Lord of Destruction'?
I thought it was God of Destruction... and it was only really used by one commentator.

lol venture capital. Xfire sure wasn't worth that but I'm not surprised it got that much.

Thresh was part of the team behind Xfire, which sold to Viacom for 100+ mil.
Sorry for being an ass but you're full of crap.

this list is pretty good, I don't know why people are hating, I don't like Fatal1ty but that doesn't mean I don't respect that I can go buy a Fatal1ty mouse in Best Buy
|
Thresh is old school ... but I don't think he played SC. And yeah he's rich off of xfire.

You don't call Americans "obsessed" with football... + Show Spoiler + All I can say is that I can't wait for the 6 months of respite I'll get after the end of the month. Isn't the superbowl usually in Jan?
Not this year -_- zzzz
+ Show Spoiler [rant] +The Super Bowl is on Feb. 7th. These days even then the madness doesn't end. The draft hype picks up as soon as people have had a week to revel about the newly crowned hype. Once the draft is over in April there's only a couple of months of "downtime" (if you want to call it that) before summer workouts and training camps begin.
Even in the off-season I'd say NFL coverage remains dominant. It really never stops. The only time that isn't the case in a calendar year is May-June, after the draft coverage is over and before summer workouts (while the NBA playoffs are coming to a climax and MLB is still fresh and exciting for most people). It's safe to say that relative to other sports, (American) football is our obsession. Unfortunately, after growing up in the greater Cincinnati area during the 90's, I don't share that obsession in the least :/
As far as this article goes, I have no idea who Thresh is, (and it seems kind of cheap that he's on here more for his business achievements than his competition winnings/salary/endorsements) but I have heard of t-squared, Grubby, and Fatal1ty. Like someone said, it's kind of funny that t-squared is up there because he was only regarded as the best for a short time, but then again he's the only MLG guy that seems to have been able to achieve mainstream status, so I guess it's warranted.
No way these are actually the top earners of all-time, but whatever, a list of all Koreans wouldn't be interesting to anyone who doesn't follow the Korean scene.
