Last year Free was making 6k... a YEAR. Players who are not on the A team earn room and board, and MAYBE an allowance. Unless you are making those appearance fees, you aren't getting any significant salary. | ||

Nowadays when a team recruits someone they're mostly taking the person to be made an A-team player, but if he doesn't show results theres no reason for the team to pay him either.. really. We just have to wait until e-Sports grows and more money enters the business, then we'll see those minor league players with big salaries. Maybe someday. =) | ||

(2008). Accessible at: http://weemee.com/weemee/issue/2 . Accessed at: 29/18/2008 Note: KRW has depreciated by 37% against USD in last 10 months (when the source states the salaries). As Free is taking only $6,000 per year (stated on Mymym), than it is obvious that B team members will have minimum wages (I don't know how Korean legal system works, here in GB you can't pay less than minimum hourly wage no matter what contract you are issuing). It seems to work like Salaries for CEO's and Directors of large corporations. They don't get their money only for the performance, but the salary itself works as a motivator for employees down the company structure. Therefore, the fame and large contracts at teams for the best players makes the B team players to stay even with pityful wages. | ||

Why would bisu make more when he doesn't perform as well in PL and doesn't still have a long and promising career ahead of him? | ||

Thats why I stated the depreciation of KRW in last 10 months. But again, its not a very reliable source. I have never heard of WeeMee before. We need some official Koeran source from recent date. Wee Mee doesnt say where they get it from TT | ||

Also i heard that its so cheap to eat in a restaurant, they do it like everyday. I'm not sure how they calculate it. Of course you can live pretty cheaply anywhere if your standards aren't that high (small apartment, cheap food, cheap clothes etc) | ||

Bonjwas like like savior and nada can just invest the money wisely and they never have work again once they're done with e-sports. Yeah, but it would be foolish to completely leave the e-sports scene. Could still be a commentator or coach or practice partner, or something. I mean... unless you're sick of Starcraft and never want to see another game played ever again =P | ||
