I am happy for Mc overall. Just one thing makes me sad which is I love gstl and Mc is one of main reasons I enjoy watching team league. Hope SK can have some sort of partnership with one of Korean teams so that we can see Mc in the teamleague.
If SK do, I hope it is with oGs, if not TSL.
I love oGs. And for TSL, I always believe it is one of the very top team but can not be champion team because there is sth lacking. With Mc with them, it will be interesting.
I hope it is not with MVP or SlayerS, because I do not like super teams like that. I would also love to see MVP, Nestea and Mc in the same team. HAHAhahaha......
If leaving oGs will result in no quality practice partner, I do not think Mc would make that move. In fact, I believe with this move, Mc will have much better financial support which in general should be good for Mc in the future.
As I said, the only thing I am unhappy about is no Mc in gstl. I really do not know which team to cheer for now.

BTW, can we plz add one more thing in Mc's achievement list ?
He did win the best protoss award in 2011 and I believe that is a significant achievement so can we plz include that?
Shame that he did not win the ceremony one tho. Never mind.

;o Hey Jinro, do you think the lack of a teamhouse is going to cause MC's skill to decline dramatically like some people are saying?

I've been wrong before but I read this as couldnt afford HuK
"To the furthest extent our finances would allow, we tried to keep HuK with the team. HuK, too, wanted to stay very much. He loved being a part of Liquid, and was willing to stay with us for significantly less than other teams. However, the offer that he received from EG wasn't just significant, it was potentially life-changing."
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=255528
And MC has more value being more successful more personality..
If you're privy to details I am wring about please tell.

I think MC still earns significantly less than Huk or IdrA.
Korean teams do not pay their players at all, so i think SK just made an offer and MC accepted it. I don't think there were offers from different teams like Liquid or EG because they didn't know that MC would even be positive about leaving OGs.

I'd be shocked if MC just took the first salary offer he got.

there's a rumor + Show Spoiler + that MC's salary is only 10% of what HuK gets at EG
also, MC is not 10x more marketable.... HuK has a huge following. At best, they are at equal size fan base but I would say HuK has a bigger following (check twitter and even TL fan page views).

I really don't get how that would make any sense though. MC is probably the most popular Korean player, GSL champion, and he just won another event, why on earth would he make 10 percent of Huk's salary, or even accept that much?

Why would TL buy a player that is a cornerstone of oGs, there partner and friendship is based on a bit more then buying anothers most succesful current player. That's just something i see TL not do unless oGs talked it over with TL and MC both and then offered a deal.
It's got nothing to do with money, like in Huk's case but with mutal respect that you don't blindly offer your partners members money to join your team.
And like others have stated i doubt he even makes close of the same amounts of money like Huk/Idra.

I've been an MC fan forever -- I love his epic ceremonies after winning a match.
However, he also has a fair share of haters. I would argue that Nestea, MVP, MMA, Leenock and DongReaGu have the potential for bigger fan bases.

I am not saying he's making less or only 10% of Huk, he is how ever for western sponsers less marketable.
And they invest the biggest money in Sc2.

I still don't see how you know this. If you are subjectively saying that people support/root for Huk more than MC, there definitely isn't any evidence for that, or vice versa.

MC's made more in winnings than Huk in salary. He might not earn what Huk does as salary (or he actually he might earn more who knows) but he's definitely made overall more money from Sc2.

MC also has a Korean fanbase, which Huk does not. Something to consider.
