GOOD LUCK GOLDEN!!!

LighT or Liquid should pick him up :D


Seems like many Koreans have illusions of grandeur on how much they are worth to foreign teams and leave because of that.

I hope this is not the case here and he just wants to be part of the foreign scene, but who knows.


Its kind of true, look at hero and puma, neither are actually top Korean pros. The ONLY reason they are popular is that they are on non Korean Teams who can afford to send them to tournaments that the actually good players aren't at.


Hero have the most revolutionizing PvZ, its unfair to call him a no namer.

If Hero worked in PvT alot better, he would be a force to reckon with


In the GSL, Hero has a 44% win rate in PvZ.

source? I don't see that number anywhere.

Hero isn't all that great sadly, way overrated.

Anyone who's saying that a post on a forum is killing esports is being melodramatic.

Quantic.Dragon (destiny and quantic encouraging his streaming)

Or coL.Dragon. (naniwa saying complexity seemed to care more for streaming/entertainment than tournament results).

or maybe EG.Dragon (incontrol, axslav)

I must say, most players that left a korean team to join an international team have yet to be picked up. High demands plus little results dont really help their case that much.

It is sad to say, with players like sangho still teamless, these 2 guys dont really stand much of a chance. GL regardless.

I personally met SlayerSGolden in a tournament once and he handily beat me (although I'm a mid/high master player so it means nothing). From hours of watching Dragon's stream I can tell you he's an amazing guy probably a joy to be a teammate with. Goodluck to them both

Has anyone stopped to consider that maybe Golden just wants to see more of the world while doing what he loves? I know that's why I go travelling.

Why would you ever leave SlayerS

I liked Golden's play, and I love Dragon's stream. Looking forward to see where Golden ends up though.

This thread was not supposed to have so many action around it , but players salaries are always something that people try to know.

I think that salaries in the line of 1k / 1,5k per month is very good for a SC2 player , prize money is where the real bucks are and with that comes higher salaries. i think SC2 has a growth problem because to be a follower of the professional scene means you also either play or played Starcraft , so it has limited number of viewers and only the best players are worshiped like they were Michael Jordan .
Then there is the community that tries to "kill" everyone who tries to have an opinion and is on lesser leagues than them ( bronze , silver , gold ,plat ) , so its hard for new players to get along and get excited with the game and the scene. Blizzard tried to make the game more friendly because of that i think but they could have done a much much much more better job advertising it ( like WoW ) . I really hope the best for e-sports and SC2 , sc2 is the E-sport nothing really compares to this, its actually required to be super sharp , smart to play professionally and to devote your life to it , if it fails e-sports fails..

Sorry if i hurt someone feelings but this is just my opinion.

I.E. I know when I was still with Fnatic, we approached Sleep, and he was asking for something in the range of $1.5k .. I know Sangho is currently looking for something along the lines of $3k .

So crazy -- its why almost all the Koreans who post about looking for foreign team, still haven't found one T_T


1.5k/3k a month? a day? what?

And Kennigit's reaction, care to elaborate for those of us who are uninitiated?

I think its really inappropriate to release information you learned while under the employment of a team, especially when you are still involved in the industry. It's like incontrol coming out with statements about NASL's finances, their projections, goals etc. Especially with a team, where your scouting methods are kept close to the chest, your bargaining position. Its just really bad imo.


Hm i don't think it is confidential :/

If no NDA, then it's fine !

i said inappropriate. Not illegal. Would you hire someone who you know will release your trade secrets publicly? Its how you get blackballed in industries - happens regularly.


But isn't there a problem if no one talks about their salaries?

I won't speak on Golden, but for Dragon, he
1) doesn't live at the house
2) doesn't compete in tournaments
3) has a day job he presumably likes
4) wants the game to be a hobby again

It seems like a reasonable thing. Besides, I could be remembering wrong, but I think the reason Dragon joined SlayerS in the first place was because he was one of the only practice partners BoxeR could get before the team formed.

So many Koreans leaving for foreign teams, kinda annoying to see this now. Nonetheless good luck to Golden.

Why? If they are good enough to be top players in their new teams it's just fine.

In almost every industry there is a salary quote or expectation yet the shady people in the "esports" community try to hide such information. Calling it a "trade secret" makes it look even shadier to me. Whats the big deal if the community knows how much pro gamers make?

Salaries are released in just about every single sport, so the fact that people want this to be an "esport" yet hide all the inside information are the true ones being "inappropriate" what are you scared of?

Obviously it seems that some people have something to lose by releasing such information.

people are saying the wages are low, but if you actually win you do get a lot. This is more like tennis, the wage is a bonus, + you get to live in the team house and eat there as well.

There is no point of being pro gamer if you do not get far in any tournaments is there? Why are you pro then? There are so many tournaments, and if you do not win a few, a small wage is good enough tbh. Or else anyone can become a 'progamer star' and earn loads lol?

I totally agree.

I also believe many people think that becoming progamer is easy, but they have to play for long hours, and not just mess around when playing either like when on ladder. There is a lot of competition, and you really need a tournament wins to make money and become an actual star.

I think if 1k a month becomes a standard salary then e-sports is doomed to fail. Have any of you ever tried to make it on your own off 12k a year? You can talk all you want about tourney winnings making up some difference but the reported stats on that tell a different tale. IMO it is completely unreasonable to expect somebody to focus their entire energy on a game when not placing in the money for a weekly tournament means no food.

As of right now tournaments/teams are not providing for the greater community at all. Youtube and streaming sites on the other hand...

As is the starcraft community is less e-sports and more "lets play". A real living salary with benefits becoming the standard for excellence would change everything.
