Hahaha Sundance is quite smart idd. Taking it out to the public so the public opinion about him having to join will make Milkis join faster since everyone loves Milkis (judging from general comments).

Well I hope Milkis makes the right decision for him though. We don't want Milkis do something he doesn't like (I doubt he hates translating LOL).

But now I'm curious what MLG is planning for Korea.

Milkis always do a great job and this is a well deserved offer! I think he is the biggest reason why Koreans like MLG so much.

That said, full time offer is a different ball game. Milkis is from UChicago Economics no? That's undoubtedly the best economics program in the US ( world?) and the median starting salary for its grads probably is close to 70,000 USD per year or even more. Will be pretty crazy if MLG offers that much. Without trying to look too much into his personal life, I'd say looking at it from purely monetary point of view, it's probably not worth it for him to go full time MLG.

of course this isn't just about money( it's ESPORTS!) and the economics job market isn't exactly hot right now.

Edit : ah ok after checking around + few comments probably closer to 55-60k but still a large amount of money that an Esport job probably cannot hope to match right now.

Sundance is offering him a job, wether the job offer is public or not is of course at his discretion. What do you mean weight of public opinion? He gets offered a position, it's absolutley in his right to refuse for whatever reason he wants with no pressure from anybody.

Would be nice, though I hope they'd put in "no 1-1-1 whine" in his contract :p

Milkis definitely deserves this! Even if he doesn't go for fulltime, maybe even a intermittent job will benefit all of us <3

I hear what you're saying, but Destiny wasn't in the same position as Milkis education-wise when he made the decision to stream. I do like Destiny but it's a different situation for Milkis.

Why would he work for MLG when he can translate here for FREE.

Oh, wait.

No offense to Milkies, but aren't translators a dime a dozen? Especially for Starcraft 2 NA, where many Korean Americans play sc2. Seems to me like mlg could get a better translator if they wanted to (Milkies doesn't have the best voice and he has issues with nerves- see his interviews in anaheim). Only good thing about hiring milks is that many people like him ( which is probably due to the fact that he translates Korean stuff on tl.) Plus, his acalmost are sometimes really weird, bashing on nasl, not allowing fans to take pictures with him, etc
me all in, he drone drone drone, me win

I don't think it's an offer to work full time. I imagine it's an offer to become MLG's official live event translator. He'd probably have to commit to attending every live MLG event and he'd have a boss, but in exchange for those extra burdens, he'd receive money. Those things could be significant burdens or very light burdens and he has to weigh them against the money offered. It could be that he'd essentially be doing the same thing and he'd receive money for it. Or it could be that he's not looking for some pocket money and he's not looking to be a career translator either and he values the freedom of being his own boss and doing things on his own terms.

I think it is a nice compliment that MLG is seeking to work with him so I hope he knows how valuable and appreciated his work is!

It's none of my or your business if Milkis is being offered a job. By going public it's like proposing in front of a crowd, a lot harder to say no even if it's the better option.

Cool news! He does very impressive job on live translation and he looks exactly like my favorite OGN caster Um Jae Kyung.
