All you have to do to earn that much in prize money is perform one of the hardest tasks on earth and overcome insurmountable odds.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

this is an article titled "why savior won't be boxer" I'm going to summarize it, I thought it was pretty interesting.
[일간스포츠 박명기] 바야흐로 ‘마재윤 천하’다. “마재윤(CJ)에겐 한 손만 사용하게 해야 하는 핸디캡을 줘야 한다”는 농담이 나올 정도니 적어도 앞으로 1년간은 마재윤이 패배했다는 말이 들리지 않을지도 모른다.

There is a joke that savior should be given the handicap of only playing with 1 hand, however we don't know if we will hear that savior lost in the year to come.

마재윤은 지난 24일 신한은행 스타리그 시즌3 결승전에서 이윤열(팬택)을 꺾고 생애 최초 스타리그 우승을 거머쥐었다. 지난해 상금만으로 e스포츠 사상 최초로 1억원(1억 50만원)을 돌파한 그는 이번에 4000만원을 챙겨 다음달 3일 열리는 MSL 결승에서 승리해 3000만원을 추가한다면 올 1분기 안에 연봉 1억여 원 외에 가외로 7000만원 가까운 돈을 손에 쥐게 된다.

Last week savior beat nada to win his first osl. Last year just in prize money he was the first game r to earn $100k usd (150k total). Just in the first part of this year if he also wins the MSL, he will have made $70k (counting the 40k from winning the osl) aside from his salary of nearly 100k.

이렇듯 마재윤은 랭킹 1위. 상금 1위 등 명실공히 한국 e스포츠계의 ‘넘버원’이다.
하지만 팬들은 마재윤에 대해 “가슴에 탁 꽂히는 뭔가 2%가 부족하다”고 말한다. 어떤 이는 “마재윤은 결코 임요환이 될 수 없다”고 고개를 설레설레 흔든다. 왜 이런 말들이 나오는 걸까.

Even though he is #1 ranking and prize money fans still do not think this is enough to fans. They say he will never be boxer.

우선 카리스마로 팬들을 휘어잡는 스타성의 부족을 꼽았다. 임요환의 경우 지고 있다가 드랍십을 통해 막판에 역전시키는 감동적인 한 방이 있었다. 팬들은 그의 경기에 환호하며 카타르시스를 느꼈다. 경기 후에도 감동적인 멘트를 통해 자신의 존재를 각인시켰다.

For starters, he can not capture the fans with charisma. Even when boxer was losing there was the impression that he could overcome the match with his dropships. So fans cheered his games and all thought he was genius.

하지만 마재윤은 테란이든 프로토스든 물량-정찰-기동력 등 완벽한 대비 끝에 확실한 멀티 태스킹으로 승리를 따내는 정석 플레이어다. 문제는 이기긴 이기는데 재미가 없고 감동이 없다는 것이다. 경기 후에도 마재윤은 무슨 답변을 해야 할지 전혀 준비가 없는 스타일이다. 그의 유명한 단답형 답변에 팬은 물론 기자들도 흥미를 잃어갈 지경이다.

However savior is the kind of progamar that counters all terran or protoss with macro, reconassiance, movement, perfect preparation and wins with multitasking. The problem is that even though he wins, it doesn't seem fun. Therefore fans and reporters lose interest

스타가 스타가 아닌 사람과의 차이는 뭘까. 팬들이 나쁜 일이든 좋은 일이든 빠지지 않고 알고 싶은 사람이 있다면 그는 스타다. 그저 연기를 잘 하거나 연주와 노래를 잘 하는 것으로 기억되는 사람은 실력이 있는 사람의 다른 의미일 뿐이다.

What is the difference between a star and someone who is not a star? There is a difference between people who are talented and give memorable performances, and those who are skilled.

팬들은 오랜만에 탄생한 <스타크래프트>의 지존 마재윤에 대해 단지 ‘게임을 잘하는 프로게이머’가 아니라 임요환 같은 대스타가 되기를 기대하고 있다. 그러려면 미디어 트레이닝은 물론 저그 종족이라는 한계는 있지만 병력을 몰아쳐 ‘쌈싸먹기’를 하는 박성준(MBC게임)이나 뛰어난 운영 능력으로 팬을 사로잡는 박태민(SKT) 같은 개성적인 플레이로 자신의 트레이드 마크를 개발할 필요가 있다.
Fans are not just waiting for a player to be very skilled, they want a great star like boxer. To be a star you need a trademark like july, who controls and fights with few units, or gorush a master of management.

마재윤은 팀내 랜덤 경기에서 테란을 잡아도 결코 지지 않는다고 할 만큼 <스타크래프트>의 최고 실력자다. 그의 전성기가 활짝 열린 가운데 그가 ‘단지 플레이만 잘하는 선수’로만 기억된다면 이것은 분명 2007년 한국 e스포츠의 대재앙이 될 것이다.
In team random games, if Savior gets terran, his teammates say he never loses.He is the most skilled starcraft player. However in 2007 e-sports, we will see if he will be known as just a very skilled player or a very memorable star player.

-----------end------------
Savior shows zerg what it can be when it reaches it's full potential. I was at the finals, and nada fans outnumbered us, and I can't understand how. Zerg lives on the edge vs terran. We are always 1 battle mismanaged away from losing to terran. Especially on these ridiculous maps, I hope we see a new generation of zerg users ready to murder the fast expand to marine-tank-vessel producing, no creativity terran robots.

Really? He can never lose if he plays terran? For the amount of money he could win, why doesn't he just use terran then?
Peace and love, for ever.

For sure! "Zerg lives on the edge vs terran. We are.." This is the exact message I try to get across to my friends .
Perfect. Plays low-econ, high-econ, plays orthodox, plays funky, plays Mozart, plays Run-DMC. Micro, macro, strategy, management, fundamentals, and balls the size of Brazil. He plays Zerg the way the Xel Naga intended - like a ball of mercury. -HonestTea

Holy crap! That much money and most likely an increase in his contract pay... just shows how strong his dominance is.

Thanks for the translation.. I highly disagree, he is the most interesting player I have seen. I am a terran player and always liked mostly terran players., never a z. But he is fighting so beautifully its just brilliant.
And saying he never fights against unbelivable odds... If the maps are normal than it's usually true but on this season's maps how can they say that? (ehem... 5th game vs Iris?)

I uploaded some pictures of the event. There were like 5000 people there. Seats were free but first come first serve, except for special fan club members who can go in first.

I have read this post and stayed shocked with the money savior earned but I have a bad news 4 him.

1# Taxes: around 20% pure neto and 5% on other shit..
2# Managers: Like ever other football, basketball players SC players got managers and they take 50%

Now lets do some math:
200k - 25% = 50k - 50%= 25k now savior has earned 25k of pure cash! not 200k like the you saw in first post

um, even if your stupid claims are true, you did the math wrong idiot

25% tax on 200k makes it 150k, then half of that is 75k

and that's assuming your "managers take 50%!!!" and assumptions about korean taxes are all correct
