Prime is pretty damn poor from what I understand. They didn't even have a SPONSOR until TT eSports came along. And don't bother pointing out that Chicken thing, that ran out like a good 6 months ago. To get an idea of how many sponsors a team has, you can check Team's Liquidpedia pages: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Team_SCV_Life http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Incredible_Miracle http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Old_Generations http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/MvP_(team) http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/HoSeo http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/SlayerS http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Prime | ||

Neither IM and Prime have that much money really, both teams have been unable to give salaries to the players and neither have they been able to send their players to foreign events (the exception beeing when IM was under Quantic, and MKPs reddit fiananced tour to MLG and ESWC). TSL have been sending their players to foreign tournaments without foreign funding for a long time now, no team besides SlayerS and Startale have been able to do that. TSL is stll the only/on of few team/s that pays their players salaries. TSL have strong sponsors in form of G.Skill, Western Digital, Sky Digital and many others. | ||

If we look at all the possibilites. -EG -TL -Mouz -Dignitas -Complexity -Quantic The only teams that I can think of that would pick up a player of his caliber. And they don't really even need another player. | ||

MVP players weren't really that fond of Naniwa either i belive, so dont think Quantic either. | ||

Money in the foreign scene, skilled players in the korean scene. Everyone is preparing for a new record year 2012 with bigger pricepools while the GSL effectively reduced their pool by having fewer events. And the GSL is everything the Koreans have. I don't really find it strange. It exists in other sports, like brazilian soccer players. In fact, Guineapig shows more commitment than other programers by stating he wants to actually move to the US. Maybe he also has some other reasons for this. | ||

The problem is that Korea is where you want to go to improve the most. There is a high monetary incentive for these players to join foreign teams but it comes at a probably cost to their skill. Generally in other sports the money is where the talent is. Unfortunately for SC2, that is not the case ;\. I think this can be a somewhat large problem if more and more Korean pros try to pull the same stunts. It just can't be good for the scene having all these top talent prospects looking to join second rate teams because they can offer more money than a top Korean team.. | ||

Another one? How much more is this gonna go on for. Its better to stay in your current korean team. Instead of having a very high risk gamble of waiting/looking for a foreign team to pick you up They earn practically nothing in Korea, considering the GSL only happens every 2 months now and you have to be placed deep within Code S every time to earn a decent amount of money, there's also very little small cups in Korea to earn money from and few teams offer steady salary. Considering the worst foreign players earn tenfold what the worst Korean players do, and the fact that the worst Korean players are better than the best foreign players, it really isn't that much of a risk. | ||

Of course this will clash with the salaries the Korean teams can offer. In WC3 this was no other, there were no big Koreans teams, almost all Koreans played for big international or Chinese teams. | ||
