demand millions? Koreans dont act and think like americans do NoobSaibot. In korea they are much more humble than that.

This is the best advertising Korean companies can ever dream of. 500 000$ is lunch money compared to the amount of money they actually spend on advertising. Its all about advertising. Sooner or later I wouldnt be surprised if the amount in the future goes up to 1 million bucks.

How bout 90 million dollars for wearing a nike basketball shoe while you play on the court? What was that kids name? He had just graduated high school too.

Nada is actually getting ripped here. As someone already noted, the free advertising is abominous. Or should i say, 500,000 dollar advertising, for 3 years. Small companies spend that much money per month in advertising their stupid products. Nada should stand up and demand millions, what company is gonna dare cancel him and throw him off the playcharts? The koreans are more lustful of their stars than we are, theyll immediately hate whomever strikes against him.

Anyhow, what exactly do progamers do for a future? If they play 8 hours a day, do they even have an education? I mean, 500k aint gonna last you the rest of your life. Once its all over, or you just get tired of it, then what? Youre fuckin 28 years old with no use for the modern world.

You start casting games, start a gaming company, manage a team or get an education (you can live off your savings long enough!)

Very cool. I for one hope to see games continue their rise as a real sport. Unfortunately in our day and age that's best gauged by how seriously sponsors take gaming, and this is a good sign.

NO FUCKING WAY.
Korea can go to hell if they're paying someone that much to play a computer game. Seriously, thats insane. How much profit could they really gain from Nada wearing a frickin space suit with their logo on it? Not enough to justify spending such money.


I think you're underestimating the popularity of starcraft in korea

I remember when Guilliame kept saying Starcraft was going to die in about two years. Damn, was he wrong. =)

nada doesnt seem like the type of person to demand high salaries (millions). too humble, and passive in my opinion. i think sg is taking advantage of the situation, and ripping him off. but then again, you have to understand that pro gamers are never #1 for long. slumps happen, you can break a finger, etc. everything taken in perspective, its a good sign for the e-gaming world, and a good move for sg, although its probably not the most "fair" contract for a player such as nada

i think if the players were more assertive they could easily leach through advertising. and more money = more fame = more money

you just need to make yourselves available. and have style

leg/rek what do you/your korean buddies think?


in that case....

id be sporting Jack In The Box hats=free food

I think are you mistaken. Even a high interest account wouldn't yield you more than a minimum wage job, per year. Sure you could do alot with the money, but live off it forever?

hes humble? Wtf, hes getting paid half a mil for playing a video game, that aint humble, as evident by everyones overreaction at the payout. Its just a damn act. My only guess is korea just isnt as financially rich as america, so 500k there is like 10 million here. And no you cant really live off 500k. I believe its estimated even a minimum wage worker has earned 1 million dollars by the time theyre 70 or something. These advertisers are manipulating the gamers lives, masquerading them around in this artificial life of glamour that cant last forever. In hollywood its fine, one movie can land you several million dollars and then you really ARE set for life. These guys are fucked in korea though. Like a prisoner getting a taste of the real world after 40 years, they have no skills or job assets to offer to the city in which they live. And while sure its their choice, theyre too young to think about it objectively. Look at BW history, nobody has really been all that faithful to the stars, everyone just loves to bash them when they start to slip by 10apm "hes all washed up now, good for nothin, turn your attention to the new guy"/.
