Pretty sure liquid and EG also pay salaries...

No idea where this article is coming from


How much, FXOBoss?

Yes, how much? :D


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



I guess anywhere its a little inappropriate to ask people how much they get paid. Right?
You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to quit thinking.

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


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)


You are absolutely right. Sorry I thought you were asking about the amount of money they were getting paid, not whether or not they were being paid. As Namkung pointed out, all 9 players will be receiving salaries, but the amount for each player is not known, save for the two I mentioned.

Considering the infancy of SC2, a great first step. Though I do echo your question, how much does the average A-class(B-team?) BW pro-gamer make?

If you were for a public institution your salary is generally disclosed I wouldn't say it's taboo to disclose that, people just don't like to. If you want to see how much I make, it is posted on the Utah State Public Employees listing ;D Along with everybody else that works for my university.

wow not bad getting 31k usd just to play sc2 per year


But considering it's like a 80+ hour a week job... is it really worth it?

And yea I do believe a lot of the major foreigner teams pay salaries.


Most people do not find themselves in a situation where they like their job, and if my job was to play video games I think I would be quite happy. Not to mention that is their base salary, excluding tournament money. It's no BoxeR or Flash/Jaedong salary, but SC2 is new. Hell I play 80 hours a week for fun! :p
Thank you bureaucrats for all your hard work, your commitment to public service and public good is essential to the lives of so many. Also, for Pete's sake can we please get some gun control already, no need for hand guns and assault rifles for the public

30,000 USD is quite substantial when you factor in the cost of living in korea is considerably cheaper than any western countries. albeit the clock in 80 hours a week, the salary i believe would be equivalent of 60,000USD if you were living in the states.
Do yourself a favour and just STFU

SK has cheaper living costs than in North America -- I personally can't compare to the EU -- and they already have their room, board, and supposed food paid for, so 31k is actually pretty damn good.

Until you disclose specifics, stop trying to turn this in to your thread
