i wonder how much they pay draco?
definetly under 10k
These sites might be of more use than a StarCraft site, where the majority of posters look on WCIII as the dense misformed fetus produced during Blizzards latest miscarrige.

This is the sort of thread that encourages SC newbies to dream of becoming a progamer in Korea without any real talent... They only get to see the glorious side of the gaming scene and not see the dark side when in fact the less fortunate to fortunate ones ratio is like 20 : 1 ..

At least everyone mentioned in this thread gets 'paid'. Imagine all the semi progamers and practice partners that devotes their time to starcraft all day yet does not generate any income from it.

how does free survive with 6000$ a year?

even if you live for free and get 3 free meals a day, it's not really much. it's about the same i get, and i barely get around.

hm well ok he doesn't have much to spend money on i guess, and doesn't need to think about water, gas, electricity, internet fee, and that kind of stuff.

do they earn money for playing and winning, or qualifying for leagues? or only if they manage to get their paws on prize money?

yeah
i heard somewhere that all (or most) of the prize money goes to the team.
if that is true, what does "goes to the team" mean? money is split evenly among the members? or money is used to buy stuff for the team like new furniture or whatever.

also i've been wondering if you also get money for reaching the semis or something like that, maybe a bonus?

He's right...NaDa makes 200k a year which is just a bit less than 3x 70k a year.

nice divisions :>

Quite interesting. I knew some of those numbers but certainly not all of them.

Watch out for Savior to get a huge contract once his current one runs out.

Also, why is Free[gm] being treated like a bitch? 6000 over a year? Thats 500 a month. He could make more washing cars I think. Seriously, there has to be a "minimum wage" system for starcraft pros. I suspect it would be good for new comers, encouraging them more etc. Maybe around 20,000/year.

Guys!!! I have to inform you.

The article says that the listed money is 'yeon bong' for the period of the contract.
which means 'the money you get over an year.' (So some of the incomes are way higher than you calculated)

and I think all of the prize money go to the individuals.
That's because I heard that recently, Nada's team had some conflicts with Nada demanding 20% of the prize money from him. (The prize money of ShinHan season 2)

no? If I understand everyone right Silvers contract runs over a 2 year period and Saviors only 1 year.
In that case savior earns 25k more then Silver.

edit: 10k

Do you mean it's annual salary, not total over the course of the contract? Nada makes 600k per year?
