Seeing as it was Head Coach Choi that left for Samsung, things aren't looking good on that front.. initially it was reported MVP was gonna get a lump sum for acquiring the LoL team, but with the head hancho jumping ship I don't see that really going down.. | ||

I wouldn't consider them amateurs. I guess it's just a bit of KeSPA attitude to make it sound better/superior or whatever. They definitely were far from being "amateurs" by any stretch of the imagination, even winning Champions Spring and probably getting loads of cash with their sponsorships (besides the Ozone name sponsorship they even scored an Expedia sponsorship) and obviously training very strictly and full time for a long time now. They were just as much pro gamers as CJ, KT, SKT, Jin Air and whoever are. | ||

Yes, i don´t know how it was with MVP, but maybe is this what they meant. | ||

Any sources on them not getting salary before? That would have been an extreme rip-off by the MVP organization then, because according to Chobra even low tier Korean teams with sponsors earn decent salary, while he roughly estimated players on top teams to make about 100k a year. Also they had some really good sponsors like Expedia, Ozone (name sponsorship, must cost a lot), Hot6ix, BenQ and whatnot. | ||
