GOD1 boxer (reputation)
GOD2 Multiple GSL winners (Nestea, MVP, ~MC)
T1 Code S routine players (MKP, DRG, Losira, etc)
T2 Code S / Code A borderline players
T3 Code A / Code B (fits the description "really good but no results")

would be my guess...

All this salary talk makes me really hope that MC got a big salary boost by joining SK.

MC was certainly underpaid at oGs. He's the best Protoss in the world, with by far the best tournament results of any Protoss, and he's really funny and speaks English at foreign events so he's got probably the most fans of any SC2 Korean other than Boxer.

I hope MC's new salary is at least close to Huk's, based on the fact that Huk is probably the highest salaried SC2 player in the world. MC obviously wouldn't make more than Huk, he's not white or American so his marketing potential is limited no matter how good his results are.

Well, now this is starting to seem like BoxeR cutting players because the SlayerS roster is needlessly huge.


To be fair, Dragon was never in the house and Idra said that Golden had left prior to Idra arriving in the SlayerS house. I'm sure they wouldn't kick them if they trained in the house.

Coca, please return soon. SlayerS needs your gosu Zerg ability now more than ever. T_T Not to mention you are one of the best players on SlayerS vs. Protoss.

No. Before it was edited by Xeris, it was:

GOD1: Boxer
GOD2: HuK
T1: Naniwa, IdrA, Puma
T2: I forget.
T3: Nobody listed besides the description.

EDIT: I was beat. T.T

Thought Dragon was in the house, but for a short period of time?

I don't understand the $5k-10k contracts, assuming it is a fulltime job and you expect 40 hours a week out of your players aren't you required to pay a salary equivalent with minimum wage?


They aren't paying players for an obligatory amount of practice play. They're paying them to represent them; paying them for their public persona and results. A studio is going to pay Brad Pitt more than they would Joe-Blow-Getting-Into-The-Industry even if they put the same amount of time and quality of performance into a film. And hell, if you can get results without ever playing in free time, you're still going to have more value than someone who can't get results but still practices 40hr/week.

I understand that, but in some countries like here in the united states you are required to pay a minimum hourly wage (or equivalent salary) for a fulltime (40+ hours a week) job. So there is a bottom net which even the worst player can't fall below, assuming they are classified as a full-time employee.



eSports isn't legal enough to enforce this. Yes technically, if you own a business here in the USA, you are legally obligated to pay minimum wage. You need special government / school board approval to be able to have unpaid internships (you must offer school credit, which you need approval from a school board to do). So technically, 99% of eSports jobs, like almost all of TL staff, is illegal.

It's a huge grey area though, the internet seems to not abide by the same laws an office building does. So it's really unrealistic to expect real world scenarios to apply to this very new, infant, industry.

Wow if I left SlayerS I would leave Korea forever in shame. I would live with regret for the rest of my life. Alas I digress.

Good luck to both Golden and Dragon in their Star2 careers.

I doubt koreans get paid a lot, they make the most out of their prize moneys.

Honestly I think Idra is worth more to EG than Huk. But then again contracts get renegotiated every year, so his new contract might be worth more. Win or lose he just attracts people either way.

should get signed by a team before they quit. their marketability goes down when they are no longer assigned to a team because they are more desperate for money.

Just for a trial period. SlayerS has an A team and B team. The A team lives in the house while the B team are just part of the clan and occasionally get the chance for a trial period in the house to see if they fit in and are good enough. At least that's what I remember reading.

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.

Did iNcontroL acctually do that or was that just an example?

Besides that-- It's sad they both had to leave the team hopefully they find new teams soon. I almost have a feeling that Dragon won't even look for a new team though. Also have to wonder how long Golden will be without a team considering Sleep is still teamless at this point ... could be a while :/

This is an excellent point. Even in most industries it is always a better idea to to find a new job well in your current one, and not quit and then find one (and not just for cash flow reasons).

had they met the requirements of the laws (i.e., they were employees under the wage and hour laws), the laws would apply to them. but they dont meet the requirements of the laws; they aren't employees (the players that is).
