Hm, as I suspected, there seems to be a number of foreign teams that pay their players salaries. But both articles put a strong emphasis on "first". Maybe they mean "first korean SC2 team"?

It is a nice step on the right direction, hopefully awareness will increase and the sponsorships with it.

yeah this is great for the players in more ways than one, really hapy to hear that theyre making salary now and its a decent amount from what i can tell. In na if your on 30k a year then your not doing bad for yourself.

well this is coming from a korean website so naturally they mean the first korean team.

Also since the Korean players are living in team houses, accomodating + living expenses are basically zero.

OP who translated the articles, does it say anything about what the less know players are receiving? Or just FD and Tester?

So what's the situation with the other teams? Is it that they get free housing and food when they're on a team but get no disposable income except for when they win tournaments? I guess I just assumed that everyone was under contract and got paid a salary.

I guess the only difference being that their paid salaries are nearly enough to make a living in korea while foreigners have "loosely" paid their players a sum of money which is probably where the difference between salary and paid comes in. Least thats what I think.

No info about other players on neither article. I looked up in their website(http://www.sc2tsl.com/) to no avail.

I doubt he'll say. It's apparently taboo to disclose that sort of info, at least in the western e-sport scene.

I was pretty sure liquid played their players. I thought they all got like 1k/month+room/board. At least while in Korea. Maybe they don't count that as a salary because its kind of low? Whatever.

I guess that is a quite a bit of money when you consider there isn't a lot (if any) living expenses

Obviously this does not compare to the 6 digit salaries that the S-class BW players have. How does this compare against your typical A-class BW pro-gamers?

If you look at the article on the TSL site ( http://www.sc2tsl.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=61&wr_id=1978 ) it says :

뒤를 이어 팀의 주장 ‘사기수’ 서기수(TSL)가 3,000만원 정도의 연봉을 기록했다. 김원기, 서기수 외에도 모든 선수들이 연봉제도의 혜택을 받게 됐다

which reads that aside from Fruitdealer / Tester, all other TSL members are also going to be receiving salary (altho it does not disclose the amount for the other players)

Now hopefully this motivates Cool & Tester to actually do better and reach their potential.

I think FD and SSKS's salaries are more than the average A-class salary. There was a list posted a while ago and it showed a huge, huge disparity between the TBLS salaries with the average A-class progamer.
