If anything, a really good sign for BW in the midst of the WeMade disband. KT thinks there's still at least 2 more years, and is willing to put money on it too.


I agree. And well deserved for Flash.

Flash is a genious. This is very good news for BW: that people are willing to pay that kind of money. This probably means his wrist is going to be fine too!

This is great. I need some one to hate

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.



no, it's his salary now. he does not earn more than 450mil won in salary, where is that even coming from?

let's face it, 450mil won base salary is simply out of the questio


edit: actually you might be right, i'm actually unsure now. it might in fact be a lot more than 300mil won, maybe even...

The way Flash has been playing since 2 years now, he earns every penny he gets. The guy is just a
genius in the full sense of the word. His understanding of this game is absolutely unparalleled.

So does this mean in two years, if Flash decides he doesn't want to be on KT, if another team wants to acquire him they have to pay 2x his salary to do so? lolol.

Plastic surgery. Not implying Bisu got one.

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


BW is far far far stronger then SC2 in Korea and will never die there.

You'll never see someone get 500k in SC2. Want to know why? (a) no ne cares about SC2 in Korea and (b) LoL and DOTA2 will soon overtake SC2 outside of Korea.

I'm more happy about the two years than the 500k to be honest ^^. Flash definitely deserves every cent he's earning, although it might be nice if salaries were a bit more balanced between all the players.

I can't believe KT signed him for that amount. With his wrist surgery coming up, that might end up being a lot of money down the drain...
This signature is ruining eSports.

It's from the source.

I'll just roughly translate the link from OP since it's from playsc and not fomos.

Flash已经以历史最高待遇与KT续约。

KT相关人士22日表示 "去年SPL 2009-2010赛季夺冠后就已经与Flash续约2年,给了他历史最好的待遇。"虽然没有透露具体的合约内容但Flash的年薪在2年前就是FA的最高待遇了。据悉,他的年薪超过了bisu和jaedong的总和,在2010-2011赛季前就是职业选手中最高的待遇了。据悉,2009-2010赛季 FA jaedong签下了2年4亿年薪的合同。而Bisu则是1年2.5亿。

KT人士还透露 "除Flash之外的其他选手也已经要开始协商和他了。"


"Flash is now the greatest BW earner ever after contract renegotiations with KT"

KT representatives reported on 22 Aug. that after the SPL win of 2009-2010, KT already extended Flash's contract by 2 years and gave him the best compensation. Although the details regarding Flash's contract were not disclosed, but Flash's annual salary was already the best amongst the free agents since two years ago. It was reported that his annual salary exceeds the combined earnings of both Bisu and Jaedong, and even before 2010-2011 was already the best paid player amongst the pro players. According to reports, 2009-2010 FA jaedong signed a contract worth 400mil over 2 years while bisu's contract is worth 250mil per year.

The KT rep also revealed that other than Flash, the other players are also beginning to renegotiate their contracts.


That's about the gist of the text from the link provided.
