Technically, IBM has been in the Korean market for a while, albeit through joint ventures. In any case, not very surprising that Boxer can command that kind of cash.

only thing more epic is him joining oGs but that would just be stacking the teams
Stacking? How many oGs players left in the GSL?

So mysterious...

Kespa is so pathetic it's actually hilarious. I wonder if it's a huge well known company that is famous even outside Korea. i.e Samsung.

I'm not so suprised actually, I was sort of expecting this. When you are the emperor you can't just join any mortal team. Looking forward what this can bring to e-sport scene! :D

Also, I'm looking forward to see who BoxeR picks for his team.

I guess why, they will release the contract and official news when its official.
"and full details in regards to this contract will be released soon."

As soon as big multinational corporations get involved I fully expect that the big Korean corporations will start to wonder if they're really missing out on an opportunity for the future of e-Sports.
Super happy for Boxer and I hope this deal gets finalized so we can all oogle over Boxer's new SC2 team. Father of e-Sports indeed!

Am i the only one thats shocked at how low that is? According to wikipedia boxer was making over twice that amount annually in BW. People get paid more for endorsements in 30 second ad spots.
|
If boxer makes a team, im sure itll hasten the BW transfer to Sc2. specially with all this money.

Yeah, but that was combined prize money, multiple sponsorships and team salary. This is a bit less than half of his PEAK INCOME from a single sponsor.

Yeah, they originally made the offer to me and I told them I don't log on to BNet for less than $200k.
Fucking cheapskates.

Wanna bet "I" is this Mother_M guy?

This is great news, I am looking forward to see more magic from the emperor in future SC2 games. \o/
