This.

If nothing else this is an appreciation for all the long days and sleepless nights Milkis has spent making MLG a great experience for both the Korean attendees and their fans.

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.


Starting salary of 70K is an exaggeration unless you're talking about higher degrees. That would be so nice though if it were true.

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


They probably are a dime a dozen, difference is Milkies is experienced and trusted. 2 things which take a while to earn either. His popularity won't hurt either.

I know you're talking about a SC2 showmatch, but just translation skill wise, Milkis is head and shoulders above John.

He's so much more than just a translator he's the Korean connection to America. If they want food he takes them to nice spots, if they need help he helps them.

Bad troll attempt, bro.

Great for Milkis, lots of respect for the guy, he does a great service, and the Koreans all seem very grateful for his services, especially Jessica.

GO MILKIS, great job during the past mlg's, and small blunders like translating engl to engl are little things which make you even more popular, keep up the great work buddy

Milkis is a complete baller and definitely needed at MLG.
Especially with the new MLG next year with many more events, hopefully means many more Koreans, and many more Milkis translating opportunities.
I want to go back to being weird. I like being weird. Weird is all I've got. That and my sweet style.

My friend from school got a job offer @ 65k/year w/ a economics degree from Notre Dame. It's not an exaggeration at all. From U of Chic it's very possible

What?


Milkis used to be a caster on GSL but she was replaced for other people to tryout. If she takes this job for MLG she won't be able to cast GSL anymore in the future.
