Hmm, at first I was really surprised, however I think it kinda makes sense.

It is not a secret that the Korean SCII teams have a hard time getting sponsors and such, therefore I don't expect salaries to be that good. However SK with its history and sponsors can easily afford a very good salary for such an amazing player.

I hope MC will stay in top form though now that he left the oGs house.

MC fighting!

Is this an amicable split?

Is Thewind being mad about it the reason MC can't stay at the oGs house or did he leave the house by his own will ? And what about NaDa ? No changes ?

I mean, he isn't on their team anymore. What reason would MC stay at the oGs house? Yeah, he's friends with everyone there, but he left the team. He should leave the house and go to his new team's house, or, since there isn't one, live by himself.

I'm sure oGs will release a statement soon.

Probably because he wants to attend more overseas tournaments for more money, and he wants to live on his own.

I can't blame him for this

Sknada maybe?! He represented sk outside of korea as well :-O

He is CEO of NaDamall which is a sponsor of oGs and he sells the uniform of the team. I highly doubt that he will leave oGs.

Not live in oGs house could be really bad for his practice though :/

My amount of respect for MC is so high, any respect i just lost for him makes very little difference.

So whatever, a little disappointed but still a fan.

I don't see why you'd loose respect for him at all. It's his choice what team he plays for and even if he did do it for money, like someone else said, people move jobs to earn a higher salary and that's a good thing, in eSports it should make no difference to a normal job scenario.

Hm, big move. This will either be great for MC, with being the only member, having all the money go to him, living by himself, and going to every big international tournament, or it could be awful, leaving his practice partners behind and becoming a one man team. I'm sure his oGs friends will practice with him, but it won't be the same.

He still will practice with his old teammates.

I'm not surprised at all by SK's move to sign MC exclusively. The partnership with oGs didn't really work out, also it has become economically reasonable for Western organizations to sign Korean players nowadays – and SC2 is too important to not be involved.

//EDIT: ... Oh, and it's certainly a good thing for the industry when the players care about money. It's what motivates clans to work professionally.
