I can get lessons from anytime at 15 bucks/hour ? | ||

Ma Jae Yoon standing on a street corner, with a glint of sorrow in his eyes and an aura of sadness enveloping him like a blanket of despair. He holds a cardboard sign, with the wretched epithet: "I am a Progamer", followed by, "Will teach StarCraft: Broodwar lessons for food." The grey sky and the cold wind blowing against his ragged and torn CJ Entus jacket seems to only exemplify his status a forgotten relic of the past; now doomed to a fate of wandering the dark underbelly of the streets of Seoul in search of scraps of discarded bulgogi in the slime-covered dumpsters that litter the back-alleys. What hath he become? | ||

I was implying from a foreigner perspective, $25 an hour is cheap. Of course things are a bit different in SK, which is why I countered with him making any money is morally reprehensible and wrong. Replying with a single word doesn't contribute anything, unless your goal was to attack my reading ability. Bravo. | ||

The match fixers have it especially hard. 75$ for 4,5hours of Savior teaching you, which you can divide with your friend, that's just sick good deal. The court punished the match fixers well enough, there's no need for me to judge them further. In case you dont know, Korea has a great economy at the moment. Unemployment is ~3%. Its easy for a grown healthy guy like Savior to get a job. There is no need to further poison the scene with his presence, sorry to say. | ||

I actually never understood how people could pay the absolutely ludicrous amount Idra or InControl are asking. I think 25 dollars is a fairly normal amount for an hour with a very good player. I wouldn't pay more if i was crazy enough about the game to pay for a teacher... | ||

Well, it seems you missed that point unless your intent was to say that he's somehow doing a favor to the community by charging them more than other people. | ||

The post states that 'Users who record the lessons and shares them will be added to the blacklist' to prevent users who try to obtain free lessons. I can't really fit these two lines together in my head, what am I missing? Lessons are streamed but can't be shared? | ||

As an assistant tennis pro at the country club I teach at (during summers), I easily make $50+ hour giving private lessons, and I don't plan on going on tour at all. The head pros I've worked with make over $100/ hour, although they've had experience in the professional scene and whatnot. Granted, the tennis community is a bit richer than the gaming community, but it's all about finding how much money people are willing to spend and showing off how good of a professional and teacher you are, and marketing properly. | ||

Although arguable to some degree, his actions resulted in a dozen or so progamers and B-teamers losing their job and their career dreams. Moreover, it was openly admitted in the Adieu MBCGame program that Savior played an integral role in the eventual closing of MBCGame. On one hand, Savior is one hell of a cunning guy - he is still finding ways to milk the money out of the very business he destroyed himself.

Can't really argue with anything past this point. It just leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. | ||
