He was wearing a rather cute t-shirt. Emlary quickly noticed this was no ordinary t-shirt. Now, if you can afford and like t-shirts that cost over $100, that's all fine and good. I Just hOpe he doesn't acquire an excessive taste for such things, because we all know what happened to the last person who went down that path.   | ||

Like someone making $100k and supporting a family of 2, mortgage, car, etc., is considered to still be doing quite well. Given that Jaedong doesn't even have to pay for food and board and makes upwards of $300k when factoring in prizes and endorsements, he probably literally ends up with about 10x as much spending money in his pockets as someone in the situation I just described. | ||

I very much doubt he makes 300 000$/year. EDIT: According to an article at gosugamers: The financial argument also exists, as OZ offered the legendary Zerg a base salary of $112.500/year with possible bonuses adding up to extra $50.000. Player's family, however, requested a base salary of $145.000 and an advance on bonuses as well.

(Source: http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft/news/10380-transfers-and-shake-ups-in-korean-starcraft-scene/50 ) he makes much more money from bonuses(fk latin) and doing commercials and advertisements for products. I remember a guy saying earlier its quite common to see a billboard with Jaedong's face on it. While he probably doesn't make as much as 300k, i think 250k is quite possible. | ||

Koreans are the epitome of people wearing/trying to wear expensive shit.. $100 is nothing.. For people who watch/follow korean people so much.. I'd think you guys would be used to it by now.

Although you are entitled to your opinion, these kinds of close minded posts really do irk some people. Think of it in the same way as when people claim that Brood War is a "10 year old game with shitty graphics and outdated mechanics".

It would only be viable if brood war costed 1000$ while all other games cost 10$. what I'm saying is that high price doesn't mean its better than cheaper clothes, and that if you just keep looking long enough you find great looking clothes for good prices. So yeah what the fuck is "close minded" about my post? | ||

The close-minded ones are the fashion afficionados who are getting all upset that people question ludicrously over-priced clothing. Hey, here's an idea - if you think fashion should be treated as art, expect criticism. That's what happens with every other art-form. Goddamn elitists. Oh, and agreed. That was a terrible analogy to broodwar. I love how people bring up broodwar as an analogy to try and make a point no matter how badly disimiliar it is to the subject. | ||
