I've often disagreed with your opinions, but one things for sure, you're one hell of a manager!

I don't think fnatic would've been half the team without you, and I wish you the best of luck to where ever you're heading.

hrm wow, they are still strong with ToD I hope they continue on with training in Korea, but they could use more players and possibly a merge with a smaller Korean team? regardless quite unexpected but I hope both parties continue in a positive direction

You've always been inarguably one of the hardiest working people in the scene. You are one of the heads of CSL, wear so many hats including the big ones over at NASL, led fnatic for so many years, have been a huge part of the american BW and now SC2 scenes, and through it all you still strive to be a great player and play for our CSL team, which, it shouldn't be forgotten, that you are now a grad student at one of the top schools for your field in the world.

Your work is really incredible, whatever it takes for you to be able to focus your all on everything you do, it'll be great to see the fruits of your labor in the coming months and years.

I've got a question: Do you think older players who are considering player management as the next stage of the career are being realistic? That is, do you think it's is/will be in the next five years a stable job which can sustain someone?

He did things like make sure players showed up to clan wars, organized flights for them and made sure they had chairs at events.

I'm surprised but I guess it's how things work, I hope you continue being awesome where ever you go Xeris!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

I think there are a lot of valuable roles to play, but my main thought about that would be...

a) Once the scene fully develops and matures, there are going to be a finite number of teams capable of paying people a sustainable / livable salary. Maybe 10-20 teams will be able to do that... so right there, there are only 10-20 people who will be able to support themselves from being team managers. Obviously, there are an almost infinite number of manager positions available, but there's a huge difference between being the manager for a team like vVv and EG, for example. So, while I think it is a realistic career choice, someone considering it needs to be aware that the pool of jobs will be VERY limited and only a handful can make a real living by just being a manager.

b) Team managers aren't getting enough to live off of, the salary I got from Fnatic based on the amount of work the job required was fractional. My salary at NASL is much higher than what I got paid from Fnatic but the work load was very comparable. So right now, the scene is not developed enough where managers can even earn a livable wage, this is another issue. In the next 5 years however, I think this issue will probably be resolved, and managers will be able to earn real wages.

c) The other thing to think of is that there will be different positions other than team manager. I think coaching is going to be a new developing trend in the foreign community. I think Strelok is a person positioned to do that, where he basically left Mouz to join imba not only to compete as a player, but to position himself to be a sort of coach / leader / mentor to the next generation of players to be in the team after he 'retires.' I think there is a real future in these kinds of positions that older top players thinking about not playing full time will be able to do.


Hopefully that's a decent answer

I can't give a lot of details about it, but in January we'll have a much better idea of what's going to be happening with that and what you all can expect!
