Seems a little ridiculous honestly, given that BW's competitive scene more than likely will be dead long before the contract expires.

No point in being a free agent for Flash. I seriously doubt any team is willing to shell out more than 500k to have Flash on their team.
It takes an idiot to do cool things.

op is misleading, there's not actually any info regarding the specific amount of his salary, and it's certainly not 500k$.

it appears that it's about 200mil won in salary alone and roughly over 300mil won in total including incentives, maybe about 275k in US dollars. including last years prize winnings it adds up to more than 500mil won or about 460k US dollars. (according to fomos)

Flash just re-signed his contract with KT Rolster for another 2 years. His salary is gonna be over 500,000 $ per year exceeding the amount that Bisu and Jaedong both are currently earning (250mil and 400mil won respectively), and is now officially the biggest baller in E-sports history.
Source: http://www.wfbrood.com/xingji/hanguoxingji/xingji_66093.html


Correction. The article says Flash's salary is rumored to exceed the SUM of Bisu and Jaedong's salary. Bisu signed a contract of 250 million for ONE year while Jaedong signed 400 Million OVER TWO years (that's 200 million/year).

Seems like the OP got some figures wrong. Can we get a confirmation?

BW is waaaaay bigger than sc2 in korea afaik and a team or 3 dying does not necessarily mean the end as gloomy as it is.

Please share your insider info. KT clearly thinks the scene is still worth investing in and the finals still attracted a large young demographic.

So happy for flash! He deserves it.

Flash's parents are so lucky, child paying for himself by 15, then millionaire by 19.

Crazy stuff
MMOs kill APM. However Proleague plus BW Proscene music increase APM -> 100. 이제동 Fighting! Highest ranked Jaedong owner in FPL10 = clearly #1 Jaedong fan~! <- Keeping my sig from 2010

Damn, I really hope SC2 grows to such an extent that exceptional professionals will be paid that much. Other than that, Flash earned that money.

i want to emphasize again that the 500k$ salary thing is unsubstantiated, and simply wrong.

The figure you quoted was the old salary.

The reports suggest that that his base salary was upped. So if we take it that he does earn more than 450mil KRW that translates to roughly about 410k AT LEAST. Not to mention incentives like you mentioned. But we don't know how it is structured; I suppose a more accurate representation is that we're reasonably certain that it's in the region of 400-500k, but one thing we're completely sure is that he earns a SHITLOAD OF MONEY, more than any pro has ever earned.

I suppose calling it unsubstantiated is fair, but I personally think the source is credible. Just take it with a grain of salt. It's not as if he's not the greatest earner in BW still.
