That's the EG members that have been in Korea (incontrol tried to qualify for the GSL, idra was in the GSL and Puma is Korean)

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.

This is like LeBron James "The Decision". Maybe contact some TV station about an announcement event?
LeHuk James. Where Evil Geniuses Happens.

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.

marineking has been in 3 gsl finals >.> thats still at least about 10k per finals
most of the koreans at the top of the earnings list are gsl finalists

+ Show Spoiler + (someone said) 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
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

This iS not a game, it's a sport.
