Wouldn't trust this yet- makes no sense why it wouldn't be on fomos.
Entirely possible. Just because Oz put in some bonuses doesn't mean they're likely to be reached.
Simple example. If Oz give Jaedong 20 mil for each SL win, technically Jaedong can earn 120 mil from 6 possible SL titles next year. But realistically? No.

How else are they going to get young kids to spend thousands of hours playing a game that they're never likely going to make any money off of? Got to show them the dreams of being a star so they can toil away for free as practice partners and B-teamers.
Yay at this, JD will bring exciting and imba games to next Season! LE JAEDONG FIGHTING! + Show Spoiler +

Then again it also makes me happy in the fact that Jaedong will continue his supreme reign on everything that is starcraft.
And WTF about the Free Agency? They should call it the "Free Agency Kabuki Dance" what it is. A lot of smoke and mirrors and large dick up the player's asses.

If the bonuses are anything like their original ones, Jaedong will easily meet them all.
Man this FA has completely failed. How many players have actually been traded?! Oh well it's good to hear that Midas and Hyun were able to renegotiate something and continue to play.
300 mil for Jaedong sounds completely bogus. Jaedong's parents just asked for 180 mil, why would Oz deny that, and then come back and offer JD 300 mil after no other team picked him up?

150 + 50 bonus mil sounds a lot more likely.
It depends how you see that. Before NaDa has the double of JD's salaray given that achievements he did. Jaedong can be in the same case. Now he has the gold mouse and he is ready he can win another OSL again. Thanks to him, Hwseung improved a lot. So he really diserves more I guess.

I'm not saying he doesn't DESERVE it, but why would Hwaesung Oz offer him 300 mil when he and his parents were going to be happy with 180 mil?
