http://www.wfbrood.com/xingji/hanguoxingji/xingji_66077.html Don't think I can post the pics here because they're sourced from fomos, but the whole of KT was there, not to mention famous faces such as Boxer, Coach Park, GoRush, Kingdom, Zergbong (more famously known as Nestea now) and Nal_rA etc. Pretty sweet, congratulations Coach Lee :D Flash really money bonjwa btw, he makes ~500k USD per year now (since JD is 400m KRW/2 yrs and bisu is 250m KRW/yr and he earns more than both of them combined)? wtf that is sick.

The two telecoms are loaded. Kespa needs to attract more such conglomerates to invest in BW. Sigh, I wish the Shanghai finals had succeeded.  + Show Spoiler + So JD signed a 2 yr contract in 2009. I'm curious as to why he's not on the FA list again. But that's another issue altogether. | ||

Its also hard to convince a company to start a new team (as opposed to take over an existing team in need of a new sponsor) because thats a risky investment that would take at least a couple seasons to show results and the future of BW isn't as clear as it was a few years ago. I am hopeful that Korean Air will decide to pick up FOX since they have clearly shown they are interested in esports during recent seasons. Besides, being the saviors of a team would be a huge PR boost. | ||

Technically speaking, the Samsung Group eclipses both KT and SK Telecom by an order of magnitude in their net worth and revenues. They just don't value BW as much as far as a worthwhile PR investment.

Besides, being the saviors of a team would be a huge PR boost. It helps that SKT and KT are both based entirely in Korea, with their most profitable demographics being the most likely to watch BW. A lot of (most of? hard to determine when they're so fucking big) Samsung's income comes from stuff they don't even sell to consumers, but parts they sell to other manufacturers, so PR doesn't even do anything for them. | ||

The Chinese translation of the article is misleading, Flash has not actually renewed his contract yet. The Fomos source simply stated that Flash earned 500k KRW last year, while the Osen source did not actually give any numbers. Apologies for the misleading information. Thanks Milkis for pointing it out. For reference: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=11020075 | ||
