South Korean carrier SK Telecom has reported lackluster financial performance for the first quarter of the year, with net profits rising only 1.6 percent from a year earlier, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Despite the modest gain in net profit, operating profit showed a 15 percent decline in the same period.

The profit disparity has been blamed on a dramatic increase in marketing costs, paired with deep discounts necessitated by fierce competition in the mobile market. The iPhone, offered by rival KT Corp, is considered a driving force behind smartphone adoption.

EDIT* Sorry missed dukethegold's post

Lol so the "fired" gamers have to blame Apple :D. The big question is still unanswered how much resources/manpower are the teams going to invest in sc1 when sc2 comes out. Cleaning the team of "bad" gamers to save costs and to invest these resources into the upcoming "market" called Sc2/B.net 2.0 sounds reasonable.
Oh well who knows what the big sponsor said and how the financial situation is. Thats why we need some insider infos :D

I personally am reaaaaally curios how it all play out in the end.

I am guessing some of those players have been around for very long but did not show improvements. So might as well get new, younger, fresher recruits.

Man In_Dove was insanely good in his TvZ. Bad choice for SKT1 for getting rid of him. In_Dove even took games off of JulyZerg at some tournament iirc.

That seems to contribute more than my speculation post.

Guess what, SKT T1 falls directly in the "marketing cost" category.

If SKT is really that worried about cash...I am kinda worried about Boxer's contract with SKT.

According to Hyuk, Boxer is still being paid something like $150,000 a year due to the contract he signed after leaving ACE. His contract expires this year...and he has not exactly contributed to SKT's win rate other than coaching.

He might get paid less, but they can't drop him because he's pretty important because of his fanbase. B teamers won't be that big of a deal however.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.
