LoL right now is much bigger than sc2 and I think he is considering moving to LoL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynAOxvJ0580 Why would he switch to a new game? If he was 19/20/21/22, yes, then go ahead. Learn a new game and try to hit big, but Nada has said he has a year or so left before going into the army. LoL might get really big in Korea, but to move to a new game, learn it, and try to become a contender in said game in less than a year sounds pretty foolish. No reason for him to switch, especially since he seems to love playing Brood War/Starcraft 2. Also he can make a lot more money in SC2 from a foreign team. Especially when LoL teams are four/five(?) players and his name brand won't cross over as much to a different game. He's not young enough or have the time to throw away SC2 and move to a new game before going to the army. | ||

Money however is a fiat item that has the ability to disapear. now nada obviously doesnt live rent free, he doesnt have food delivered to him for free, he doesnt get gas for free he doesnt live for free ok? got that? now lets return back to the logical pathway . 500k - ~300k living costs since he earned that - Xk that he lost doing other "stuff" leisure etc etc etc etc Now, he has this business thats great. But if you do economics theres a thing called marginal benefit. he might be in the money river in the long run, but right now, thats not the case. Its economics, hard to argue with it. My recommendations for NaDa- even if he doesnt want to. Join a foreigner team for money and I also feel hes not at the top in korea so it seems more realistic he will make grater profit overseas since he is better than most players (bar some mouz/empire players) - MLG's shouldnt be a problem me thinks. thanks. He was earning over 200,000 a year salary, in addition to everything else. He has lived in a team house for the majority of the time since then. Money is not a huge concern for him. If Nada was only in it for the money he would have attended far more foreign tournaments and would have been on a foreigner team long ago. Obviously money matters to EVERYONE, but Nada has always been someone that wants to prove that he's the best more than cashing out; it's the reason he remained a top-tier player for longer than basically everyone else. He very well may go to a foreign team, but the reason he's leaving oGs isn't for money, it's because he's not happy with his results lately.

He's played Starcraft competitively for 11+ years, he has only another year left before his military service, SC2 paid out more than League did last year, sc2 players get a salary, etc. etc. etc. | ||

But then again he is a top tier SC:BW and SC2 player with the 11+ years of skill development and refinement. He also has website business to take care of (which I think is another possibility), but at the sametime he has seen first hand the interest in starcraft abroad as well as many fellow players earning a salary on foreign teams. Starting all over in LoL instead of capitalizing on his SC skill and being able to travel globally for events isn't really something I see him doing. Besides, how long would it take for him to develop the skill to be truly successful and competitive, then picked up by a big teams to play and win big prizes? Surely more then a year or less (until his mandatory military service.) | ||

I don't fault any player for doing what's best for them, you can only play for so long. Plus it's Nada that would have the regrets if he didn't take this kind of opportunity, not us. And I don't want to bad mouth oGs, but if you're a Nada fan then you've only really been able to see him in the GSL. It'll be cool to see him outside of Korea. One last thing. For me personally, Nada hasn't come to embody oGs in the way that Boxer is the figurehead of Slayers, for example. I can't imagine Boxer not on Slayers, but I can certainly imagine Nada on a foreign team. A month ago that would sound just as likely as Alive leaving TSL to join fnatic. Nada would be one of the best Koreans to join a foreign team to date, imo second to Alive. | ||

This has nothing to do with loyalty -.- He's a professional gamer. Sometimes in the professional workplace people switch companies or jobs. You have to do what you think is right for you. I don't think it's a financial situation, I think NaDa truly thinks he needs to new environment to help him regain his form. | ||
