I think keeping salaries secret actually is worse for the players.

If everyone knows, and knows someone makes little money it is easier to know you can make a difference. Like, some rich guy that loves eSports could actually personally sponsor a player. Because to many it is not that much money.

Like that Lazarus kid, he had his own pro-gaming team, right? What if people knew it took so little money? There could be an influx on money because of that.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


About the actual salaries of players I can probably say Idra and Huk probably have the best salaries.

They both (and specially Idra) can move HUGE amounts of viewers and bring so much marketing to your brand.



Secret salaries are generally worse for players, but there are always a few that will make it anyway. The main issue is how hardball they can go in dealing with the team. The stars that can be a pain in the ass about money, or have someone being a pain for them, will have a upper hand. The rest will probably suffer more than needed due to teams compensating all over to meet the highest demands.

If players would care anything about getting anything done as a group, they should form a players union of some sort. This is something teams happy with current way of work do not want. It can be said to be a "forced" situation due to sponsor money etc etc, but that is just talking around the real subject.

I am not young enough to know everything.

Thats what I was thinking. Destiny knows how good dragon is as dragon has a winning record vs him (5 - 1 i believe). Maybe he could put in a good word for him.
ok

Then let the players decide what to reveal and what not. Don't do it for them. It's also very different to reveal a finalized contract than to reveal positions in ongoing negotiations like Xeris just did. That's completely inappropriate.

Your aware that it was stated around page 3-4 of this thread that people in Esports (players, team, Diamond (casters) know roughly how much everyone is making. If your simply a TL poster you have no idea. Basically the players know how much everyone is making, it just us the outsiders that don't.

Eventually it will come to a stage that we will know, but till then the players aren't getting the short end unless there signing their first contract and have no idea how much other pros are making in there same skill level.

January 16th, 2012, Seoul - We are sad to announce that Dragon and Golden decided to leave our team. Golden, who has been a part of our team since the very beginning, decided to part ways with our team after a long discussion with our management, where he expressed his strong desire to explore his opportunities in a foreign team. Dragon, however, decided to put gaming aside, at least from a professional perspective, in order to fully focus on work.

We wish both players the best of luck, and we would like our appreciation towards both for being a part of our teama in 2011.

I was thinking Quantic since they're in need of some Terran power lol. They've been snagging a decent amount of players lately and they have a setup with Startale to accommodate for training in Korea whereas coL doesn't (to my knowledge.) Plus it'd be interesting to see how Dragon would behave under the same roof as Destiny :p.

It's most likely a troll since none of those players play SC2

I keep thinking back to what TT1 posted earlier. He wasn't the first person to say those things, but I am starting to wonder more what things will look like 5 years from now in terms of progaming inside and outside South Korea. Will non-South Korean teams work hard to develop their own crop of players, or will they resort of enticing Koreans to join them? There's nothing wrong with bringing Korean players into your teams, but do you end up sacrificing providing the resources to your own local players by doing so?

I have watched quite a bit of Dragon's stream and he's great to watch, and maybe alot of the engagement he gets from his international fans is making him want to join a foreign team more.

Uhm, it says that he is assuming his personal intel sponsorship is huge. Idra doesnt have personal intel sponsorship, does he? I assumed it was Boxer.

I think Idra/Huk gets around 4k a month as a salary? Also random benefits/EG doesnt take any percentage of tournament winnings etc I believe...
