How can Stat's awesome input for this season possibly be denied? He deserves this pay rise, and I hope he can be even more instrumental next season.

48 wins, including 6 straight to finish the playoffs. Who are they going to get that's better?

The Dong.


For 100k?


Oh, yeah, Jaedong worth more than 100k, I was just saying that the raise could be better put toward acquiring someone of J's caliber.
Brood War has been a part of our lives for the last 12 years. No, we don't want change.

I suddenly feel so pumped. After all these bad news, Mantoss muscles are bigger and shinier than ever.

Thank you very much for this thread.

Thanks a lot for the news. Good to see some positive news for the BW scene. Sad to hear about Light Girl though . Hope that she pulls through.

Man, KT resigning Violet is so awesome. The support they've shown him this whole time is just heartwarming. Violet get well soon!

This is some decent news but the problem is, scbw in Korea is the only place where it exists, the game it self is way outdated and the market has no where to go but down due to it only existing in one place in the world. So as this is better news for KT fans, unfortunately as time goes on it will get worse and worse until it is no more which is sad because scbw is so entertaining to watch and the story lines behind pro league matches as well as OSL or an MSL are so full of excitement. Regardless, thanks for posting the article.


China's where it's at. Got cockblocked by the hurricane typhoon once, but it's on a positive trend.

China's too enamored of WC3 and DotA to care much about SCBW. I can't fault them for it either. WC3's fucking amazing, and I'm glad it still exists somewhere in the world (similar to Korea and SCBW, really). I'll go ahead and admit that I could definitely live without DotA, though.


But China's a big market regardless and there are enough BW fans. It's like saying Americans care too much about baseball/basketball/football to care about Hockey, when there is a sizable hockey fanbase.

Now, what's more in question is their purchasing power.

So basically SKT1 and KT are like the Red Sox and the Yankees. And Fox/Oz/MBC are like the Royals/Devil Rays/Pirates. Except the revenue disparity is even higher and there's no revenue sharing or other ways for lesser teams to make ends meet.

I know this is suppose to be an upbeat thread, so sorry to be debbie downer here.


At this point in time, who gives a shit about the structure of the league when even the league itself was in question? I think most of us will take all the good news that we can get right about now.


Let's put it this way.

1. There's a lot of fans who care about BW(high ratings)
2. There's a lot of money in BW(high player salary)
3. There's a lot of players in BW(best RTS players in the entire world)
4. THere's a lot of infrastructure in BW(2 cable channels

So why is it that half the league is saying "Screw this. Forget it"?

KT can give Stats a 100% raise. Yet Hwaseung thinks a team with Jaedong on it is not worth sponsoring. Do you not see the problem here?


maybe just maybe the problem is not with BW and its scene? Financial crisis got to Korea and its time to cut corners? Just guessing.


*facepalms*

There is a reason why I posted what I posted on this thread. So far everything has been gloom and doom. But this thread shows that despite enviromental conditions, whatever they may be, some people are living it up very well. You don't give players 100% payraise if you're suffering from economic crisis. You don't resign a player who hasn't even been part of your team for a while because you have no money. You don't give your star player more than the combined salaries of player #2 and #3 in the sport if you have no money.

Yes, if it's a case of everyone having no money, it would be one thing. But the rich obviously are rolling in money with huge salary bumps.

Thank you for this thread!
Uplifting threads are always a nice change of pace from the gloomy and hack n' slash headlines that seem to draw people's attention so much better T_T

I need to find a player with my blood type and become his (or her) biggest fan just in case I need a surgery.

I kid, I kid, but so great of Light to do what he did. <3

She is fighting for her life. Your joke is very inappropriate.

The Dong.

The Dong will not go to any of the other TBLS teams.


is this a fact or accurate speculation?


I believe from the last FA thing he stated that he wouldn't leave his team for any price unless he wasn't resigned. Something along those lines.
