I studied for a year did well on the not real tests, then decided to simply abandon the idea of Law school. Not worth it to me, instead graduate degree is fine for what I want to achieve in my life. | ||

Alex Garfield stated at the eSports ESPN conference that he has players that he pays 6 figure salaries. That would have to mean Idra or Huk (or both) | ||

All people would do if they knew would be to complain about "why do you pay this person as much as you pay that person, I think THIS person is better, blah blah blah' There's no legitimate reason anyone could possibly have to want to know what the players are making. Would just be used to start more drama. | ||

All their players are popular, and a lot of people who are fans of the players or teams support their teams or players. When idra/demuslim/incontrol/huk stream they are always in the thousands. They have lots of fans and lots of haters. I imagine their team does quiet well in that department due to that and I don't know how popular their other players are on their other games. | ||

How often have you heard complaints about how overpaid they are? It happens all the time dude. They have nothing to gain by releasing that info and unless SC2 truly becomes massive worldwide there will never be a reason to do so. | ||

They bring in sponsors, viewers, buyers on their store, put EG on the map for a ton of people, win money, and all manner of things. How do the best gain that money back? No clue  But EG wouldn't pay them that much if they didn't expect to gain at least most of it back in some way. | ||

I think that people think only bad things would come for the players if it was known what they were getting paid.. in reality open knowledge of the numbers would ensure that players would be able to get paid what they deserve by having comparables in terms of other players and salaires. This is how it works in sport and why player salaries are leaked and that no one actually minds. | ||

It can't be EG starting out and then everyone choosing when to follow. Personally, I don't want people knowing what I make for a living and would not release that information, even if my clients were demanding it. | ||
