How do teams earn money with their players? Do they get payed to attend to tournaments? Cause only by prize earnings i can't see it happening.
They earn money with their players through the sponsors. To use HuK as an example, he places relatively well at almost every event he's in and since he's a fan favorite he's always in the public eye be it playing or not. That leads to a lot of exposure for him and when he's wearing Kingston or Steelseries badges and carrying your companies product that's great advertising for you. Huk might earn close to 6 figures a year, but EG is making a lot more than that off all the publicity he brings in for the team and their sponsors.

I could only see two reasons for this, either he was unhappy with the salary they offered, or he's planning to join a korean team.
In case of 1, he'll most likely join another foreign team, in case of 2, well he's obvioulsy joining a korean team.

pretty sure hes looking for a team to finance foreign big tournaments like MLG along with a practice house with top koreans. With FXO out not sure who can offer that other theneg and col.mvp...
|
seeing how good of friends he and thorzain are
i'd say hes going to mouz
|
LIQUID NANIWA
please 
|
I just had a wacky thought; imagine if Naniwa was Irish!
|
Interesting response from FXO. I wouldn't think CoL would be signing him right now because of Stephano's potential contract or the legal battle that may follow from that...
So EGNani?

Dude, that's what he's saying.....

EGNaniwa then transitions into a contract controversy and he goes to CoL.
Really though, I'm assuming it will be a Korean team.
|
wtf! Hope he'll join a korean team or a team that let him stay there if that's what he wants! gl nani <3
|
There's no chance hes joining a foreign team.. he will 99.99% be joining a Korean team, most likely ST, or MVP, and possibly even TSL.

Yeah, i just edited my post. Understood it wrong at first. ^_^

Naniwa is one of the few guys who comes across as the type who would choose whatever situation allows him the greatest amount of success and improvement in SC2 vs. that situation which would afford him the greatest financial gain. He just doesn't seem like a guy who would be happy going to a sub-par training situation for a few dollars more. I think it's reasonable to expect he goes with something that allows him to stay in Korea and train like an animal.

Sad news for Dignitas but I hope Naniwa lands somewhere good. Then again, if he just leaves that team after a year too..

We have spoken to NaNiWa and we will not be recruiting him.
Given the financial requirements for a player such as Naniwa, the only korean team who 'may' purchase him would be coL.MvP, but it would be a big investment for them.
My guess would be another foreign team. I'm not implying that I am really informed or anything, I'm just a fan speculating. I think his financial requirements for joining a foreign team and joining a Korean team are different. Despite the fact that FXO is the foreign team that's most established in Korea (not counting Liquid-OGS) it's still a foreign team and can't provide a team house full of the best-of-the-best koreans. So he's going either for a mediocre wage with perfect practicing conditions OR an insanely lucrative offer from a foreign team.
You know FXO has a team house in korea comprised of the old fOu guys?

It would be so fun to see him join Millenium with all the drama that has been going on lately
