What? 500k is huge. You can get 50k a year with just interest on a bank account (which is nearly the same as median families in USA earn). Also progaming is growing and his involment with it will surely enable him to get a job there of some kind even if he completely fails with his own progamer career. How is that not enough? Please show me these banks so I can retire right now. BTW, $500k is peanuts in the long run.
10% interest on a bank account? that's stretching it... by a lot.

Yeah 500k is the price of a decent house nowadays, won't support you for a life time.

"decent" house lol, you paid too much for yours then. average house would run around ~200k and thats to fully pay it off.
anyways 500k is just this year they are doubling that next and who knows what will happen if the GSL proves to be succesfull

Besides, interest hardly stays ahead of inflation. So even if you get 5-6% from the bank, the currency is probably losing 3-4% in value during the same time. So in several years, the base of $500k that is earning interest is worth far less. It isn't even remotely close to enough to be set for life... unless they plan to live under the poverty line.

Looking forward to seeing more replays from JulyZerg... next GSL should be even better assuming he jumps in.

I still don't think he'll succeed in SC2. That's just my opinion. Being a caster is far more dependent on your personality than on your SC experience, and I don't think this is an option for him. The coach thing may be an option; but again, that is also rather dependent on other factors.
$85k is the first prize reward in the GSL. He's saying that if he won the GSL he would make $85k, which is nice for a year, but there's no guarantee he would win.

btw Silver is a toss player in sc2, no Shimdralisk anymore

but seriously, house prices are totally different everywhere, every city, every town, every block.. my girlfriends house/neighborhood all the houses are pretty plain but cost 1million minimum. Her house is like 3-4m (2 lots and just badass overall 20+feet hedges) alternatively, in my neighborhood (only like 5 miles away) the same size house is probably 300-500k. But she is 5 steps from the beach, whereas I am .5 miles.

Doesn't the pricing of houses vary a lot depending on where you buy it? In the middle of nowhere compared to the core of a metropolis is easily a differential of x10 in costs. Some of the costs posted here seems to be in pretty well populated areas, not where you would want to live if you want to live decently while still staying cheap...
Oh as for topic, I don't care. I havn't been watching BW for long so I don't really know him.
|
It'll be interesting to see how these BW vets do in SC2. I have a feeling it might not be as good as most people expect.
|
Good luck and godspeed to JulyZerg! ^^

This is such amazing news, I keep rereading the thread because it makes me so happy.

I eagerly await the name of the bank that you use.

Julybeast is coming, watch out. If he does not increase SC2 popularity in Korea I don't know who is.
At least Zerg can pwn every race with absolute ease now.

YES! Finally JulyZerg the mutal master is joining SC2 =D
|
huge news. be prepared for the neo neo sauron X]

Hmm I was looking at sc2ranks and there was a 1400 zerg named sAviOr.
I'm like 99% sure that he's not the real thing, but it would still be kinda cool if it were.
