I don't know, 100k per player isn't bad. Seems like a 1 year salary per player being paid straight up (according to rough ballpark figures from Chobra's grilled) solely for the transfer. Should be a very good deal for Samsung with big ROI.

500k upfront to MVP + 2013 salary for the players after purchase. This could easily cost Samsung close to 1 million dollars.

$500k is going to be a ton of money for MVP too, I hope they spend it wisely.

I'm surprised you can buy a top LoL team for 500k in Korea, at least if you compare it to Dota trades in China.

What? So LOL koreans aren´t faceless koreans?
haha just kidding.
The interesting point of this news is that it leaves more "?????" in the air.
Because, what will be done about the SC2 squads? Who knows.

as has been said, this is big $ in esports but tiny money for samsung the organization. given how big league is in korea and now the world, not surprising esp in contrast with the salaries that they once paid their big BW stars

CJ, SKT, and KT have to fight in the Korean Regionals to make the world finals.

Samsung is literally going to buy their way there.

I can respect that.


Of course you can, you are a KT fan after all

What if MVP Ozone says no?

What if the MVP coaches believe so much in their future, their teams, and their fan loyalty that they will stare Samsung's check books in the face, say that they're too prideful to sell, and turn down the $500,000?

Would you like to bet on that?

with my life...
they WILL accept SAMSUNG's terms...
