Don't progamers make enough money to pay for a ticket (can't be more expensive than ~800 bucks) out of their own pockets? How much money do pros in the mid-tier-teams like SJG, Root, Col etc. make? | ||

Honestly, nobody should be surprised. Major was known for one thing for the past however many years and nothing has changed; he's a team-hopping, toe-stepping child who only wants to be with a team so long as they succumb to his every whim. I remember not long ago he convinced one of his previous teams to shell out for multiple copies of the game simply so he could change his name between nonsense like "princess" and "kitty" shortly before he dropped their contract and signed on to sixjax. Not to mention in BW he would do the same thing as has happened in sixjax; try to use them as a stepping stone to getting to korea (where i can only assume he would teamhop to a korean team at the first chance) and leave for another team as soon as that didn't seem plausible in the immediate future. Also, based on his recent actions in everything he's been involved in, it seems like if someone tells him anything aside from "yes, major. Absolutely, major. You can borrow a SEA account and participate in this tournament even though we explicitly told you that you couldn't, major." he just simply doesn't understand, or it doesn't register at an audible level for him, and as such he goes out of his way to undermine people indiscriminately. Honestly, I think this is for the best. Hopefully nobody will pick him back up after sixjax drops him. He's bad for e-sports, and bad for professionalism in general. errr people he knew gave him the accounts, looking at your sig you should know that more then anyone and secondly major has ambitions, one in which better practice. Which his ex team isnt cutting atm though they have decent players he cant play vibe often he can get much better practice in Korea You making someone out to be an villain when they are not is ruining e-sports | ||

It's not like he's been doing anything for, or even promoting, the team in any way... now thats now true!! he has a 5 second soundless intro that says sixjax in the start of his once a month videos... In all seriousness though sixjax seems like a really shady team, wouldnt be suprised if the team would fall through eventually. | ||

I am positive Major doesn't have a job... but if it was 800 bucks seperating you from your dream... I think I would pick up a part-time job. Right now he is probably shopping himself to teams (Sign me, send me to Korea...) so he can find Korean team to join  | ||

You don't see FXO sending a lot of players to MLG (just qxc and moonan at Raleigh), EG didn't send Axslav/Strifecro for whatever reason, while only the top Dignitas players get the opportunity to represent. Really, MLG makes 0 economic sense unless you have a pool play spot (or can get there). even with a pool play, 8th place is 800$. the mlg prize pool is just ridiculous. | ||

sixjax doesn't seem to know what they're doing. Their manager is a full-time caster and living on the other side of the globe. They don't send their players to MLG, etc. I guess it won't be a surprise if we see sixjax Gaming fold in a few months. sixjax needs to do a haul-over of their team, get some new sponsors, or something. | ||

Hope he finds a team in Korea, because he's probably in terms of talent one of the best Terran's in the foreign scene. Maybe moving there will help him mature too which he definitely needs to do. | ||

Most sc2 progamers don't get paid high salaries no. but I guess Major was getting a paycheque since he said he wouldn't be taking their pay anymore. I made a comment about a friend wanting to play sc2 competitively and asked a progamer if he could live off 600 bucks a month and he said barely. Shrugz and I guess I was sorta correct since technically he's between jobs  | ||
