Midas is part of the 6-figure club ($100,000+ a year) in SKT1, but he's also the only one NOT to have won a major tournament. In fact, I don't think he has gotten even close prior to that semi-final. They pay him a lot of money, I guess because he has the potential, but I think he was afraid/under pressure that they might cut him if he turns out to be a flop.
oh and I forgot, didn't he beat a bunch of his team mates to get to that spot? I guess he felt like he let his team down too.
He hasn't won any major tournaments, ok that's fine. But he has saved the whole team, and won a bunch of Ace Matches, that has to mean something, if he doesn't win a Major leauge, is a bitch too, but if he continues to save his team, from losing matches in PL, then to me, it is all fine.
I guess, but I don't think proleague aces alone are deserving of his salary. If he doesn't at least make an OSL or MSL final soon I'd go so far as to say that he never deserved to get paid that much in the first place.

The guy wears his passion for the game on his sleeve. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with that. He doesn't try to hide it. He just won a shitload of respect from me.

that was pretty gorgeous. good work by the film crew.
anyone who thinks ill of him for crying is trying to be macho imo. as was thrice affirmed above, I respect and admire his blatant love of something I too care about. think about how much he must have worked for this, how much he must have thought about it, imagined it, put into it. And it's gone.
You can see how empty of a feeling it must have been.
I love to see that kind of commitment and love for what he does. Bcuz to him that loss may have felt like he had lost the world cup semi-final... probably. He's still my favourite SKT1 Terran. gogogo <3 Midas.
i have to say that Midas vs rA finals would be 100% cooler than what we saw yesterday - pure savior domination. But then again savior earned his victory. Anyway, the bottom line is that Midas is cool and you all know it, so let's hope next time he'll be alright with his nerves.
