That is a ridicilously low price from celebrity and i would imagine his schedhule being all day long teaching for couple months but no. It has to be a cultural thing. | ||

Nah I prefer him getting coach by Jaedong who is the current remaining tyrant in the bw league with "conscience" and I mean in terms of not getting involve with the match fixing that is hence Jaedong or Brain Zerg(Calm) will definitely help out sziky in terms of skill and strategy . | ||

It's just so unfair i mean, if the match fixing scandal had only affected him and the others players responsible for this i would be fine with it but, like, he really ruined it for every BW progamers. I mean, he already has quite a lot of money at this point, but what about all the less sucessful players who won't be able to because of MBCGame shutting down, the lack of sponsors for osl etc etc ... ? The idea that he can still squeeze so much out of something he destroyed while others who didn't do anything have less opportunities is just ... disgusting i guess. Not that i wish him to fail in life tho, but, can't he just stay away from the game ? As much of a Savior fan as I am... I agree; he's just done too much damage to the scene to deserve to be making money off of it. If anything he should be giving free lessons to help repair some of the damage he's done. Surprised he's only charging that much though, that's quite cheap compared to lessons in CS, SC2, etc. However, I can kind of understand it from Savior's POV; it's probably difficult for him to get another job, as is common with retired pro-gamers (and Savior's history) and thus it's a way to get by. | ||

Seriously, if I met this guy on the streets I'd chuck an egg on him. And most Koreans would probably feel the same way. | ||

People were flaming him, so he put "Subscribers Only" Mode on his fanpage. Honestly... feels like the Cash Rate is some sort of favor to the community less than him trying to make money. If he truly wanted to make money he could switch to SC2 and coach for $50 p/h in like a months worth. Still though, nobody is forced to give him money. I agree it still feels rotten he's trying to make ANY cash off of the community and scene he helped cripple. | ||

What appalls me the most is that there are maggots who would actually partake in this bullshit. | ||

This : i just realized 25 bucks doesn't seem like much to a foreigner but i don't know how much that is for a korean. I said it was a good deal but apparently, not that good. And also this : On March 29 2012 23:25 white_horse wrote: Pay to join his fanclub, pay to follow him, pay to get lessons from him: basically only the nutty and hardcore fans who don't really care about anything else remain. you can't really get any more pathetic than that All of a sudden my image of him worsened by quite a lot. Seriously how can anyone forgive him when he's clearly just milking it dry ?? He really is a disgusting character... | ||

I think he's despicable and should leave the entirety of Broodwar alone like the disgrace he is, but I can't knowingly support forcing him to stop anything but direct involvement with the BW pro scene. pete rose did not ever bet against his team pete rose bet his team would win there is a BIG difference | ||
