He also said people have said bw would die for the past 10 years, so he "doesn't know what to think" about longetivity of the scene. He wants a year break to relax before military, since he hasn't any time to himself since end of high school until now (23 korean; 22 western). There was something about how he would have continued playing, but only offers was 1/3 his old salary or along those lines. So he says he isn't looking for a team now, and wouldn't play sc2 for a team either. He is having a year off and wants to enter military late. It was actually a 1/3 cut, so he'd be getting 2/3 of his former salary. He'd probably be outraged if they only offered him 1/3. | ||

Sounds like he has no idea what he wants to do, since he said he would play SC2 all day long yesterday. Also, a 1/3 reduction in salary seems like a slap in the face, especially since everyone except Jaedong got a raise. | ||

Bee as his roommate and try to go to the military as late as he can. He says he's certain that he's playing Starcraft 2 because it's something he wants to do. He thinks that SC2 teams and KeSPA live in two different worlds, so he doesn't want to join any SC2 teams and instead wants to stay in KeSPA.Anyway I subbed TL's encounter with HiyA from today: | ||

It surprises me that 2/3 of his original salary was enough to make him not want a team again, but I'm guessing he was already unhappy with his old salary and maybe he doesn't enjoy the life of a progamer. His salary was $100k for 2 year. $50k for 1 year. 2/3 would be $70k for 2 year? $35k for 1 year? definitely not good enough for HiyA. To be honest,he has better chance for making more money in Starcraft 2. | ||

He's not going to join any existing SC2 teams. He's just going to practice seriously and hopefully join a KeSPA team for SC2. They're the same. | ||

I can't believe I missed it, when I was still watching, it seemed like he wasn't interested in looking into the stream and it was pretty late so I went to bed. Arghhhhh now after watching that video I'm kicking myself. I love how everyone just went all mental the second he figured out how to make an account on twitch LOL. Hollywood fishking! | ||

The rest who were drafted probably didn't. Hyun was on 20k and teams thought that was too expensive too. | ||
