The more prizemoney to be made is a myth. go look at the top earners for SC2 they are al korean.

Yep and second up is Europeans. There's very little money in NA. Just NASL really, and that's online.

Yes, their Korean section, according to that, use eyes, that's what they're there for.

yes but to win any money in Korea from prizes you have to WIN GSL, in EU and US you tend to get prizes for coming in positions other than 1st aswell

No, that's just plain false. Look at MKP's earnings.

I already am.

But I will become a Huk hater. I just pray that it doesn't come to that.


That's really sad.



A sellout is a sellout. Plain and simple.


A professional gamer moving to a new team once his contract is up is not "selling out".

The term "sellout" is used for artists who sacrifice their artistic integrity in order to appeal to larger audiences.
/
Using it in this context is absolutely juvenile. And by "juvenile", I mean that you appear to be about 12 years old, and treat Team Liquid as some sort of league of superheroes, instead of the professional gaming team that it is.


Very true statement.

If, for example, Peyton Manning were traded/resigned to say the Dolphins for way more money (for god knows what reason), people wouldn't be like OMG what a sellout fuck him!!! They'd just see it as "Wow, sucks for the colts but good for him he's making way more money."


To be fair colts fans may well call him a sellout


The real question is: Is it fair to judge a professional for changing teams for a greater opportunity?
Come on, its a fact of life in sports, players just want the best for themselves and the fans will think what they want about it.

The manner in which they leave the team could very well be looked down upon however: think Lebron James and that whole Heat party as soon as he left the Cavs.

But if a player leaves respectfully and honorably I cant help but feel good about it. When a player is comfortable and where he wants to be, he performs his best IMO.
Like Ben Wallace leaving the Pistons for the Bulls?

For future ingame success, does anyone think being on EG is better than being on OGSTL?


Do you think being on OGSTL will guarantee that Huk becomes a bonjwa who makes 200-300k a year?

Because signing to another team for 80k a year (random number pulled out of ass) would guarantee that he makes 80k a year.

If you honestly think that striving for skill for skill's sake while being provided food and shelter is preferable to making good money, then there's an honest difference of opinion that cannot be argued over.
Not supporting teams who take robber baron money.

If you guys get dissapointed you can only blame yourself in my opinion. Drawing all these crazy conclusions from some random soundclips.

If making good money was your goal in life you'd never have become an SC2 progamer though. There are many, many jobs that make more. Like flipping burgers.

I'm pretty sure just RO32 of Code A nets you about $1500, it goes up depending where you place, and I'm assuming code S is a shitton more
