IIRC Flash ~$400,000 p.a Jaedong ~$120,000 p.a Bisu ~$200,000 p.a That's just salary and excluding the actual trade price. KT and SKT also pay skilled veterans quite a lot even though they aren't in peak form. Bisu is still the highest paid in SKT even though its been years since his last individual tournament appearance, Oov got paid a huge sum of money for coaching, Nada was still being paid a lot even though he wasn't appearing on TV very much. This is a really good reason to stay on Proleague teams, you can be one of the highest paid players without winning a single tournament for years, you can also be old and bad and still get paid a lot, while GSL teams are picking up the scraps and relying on tournament winnings. EG would need to sponsored by a company like Microsoft with millions of dollars of spare cash to burn to have that kind of money. | ||

- Kespa teams has a lot of money and sponsors. But their players are not that hot in sc2 just yet. - GSL teams have less money, but the currently best sc2 players. so with a free market: - the kespa teams would buy the best sc2 players players from the GSL teams. - The GSL teams lose their sponsors, as they don't have any good players any longer. - the previous kespa players get demoted to B-team, or fired, and have to fight their way of from the bottom like everyone else. So to protect the kespa players and the GSL teams, they do this lock until the GSL teams get better economy (DRONES ffs!!) and the kespa players can catch up in sc2 skill? Did I get that right? Questions: 1) How will kespa teams keep their income? I guess the sponsors are leaving sc:bw now, and if the kespa players do not pick it up quick, they won't get more? 2) Transfers from kespa teams to GSL teams isn't really an issue then? They just blocked both ways to make it fair? thanks. | ||

I wonder if those values will change with everyone switching to SC2 now, i.e. some getting less, like Bisu, who hasn't won any match in SC2, I think. | ||

I still think it seems longer than it needs to be, but I suppose taking longer and not risking killing teams/organizations is probably better than jumping the gun just so cross pollination can happen. | ||

T8 even gave him a pay rise.

There may be a drop, but considering Nada was the highest paid progamer even just before he retired, I wouldn't be surprised if Bisu still got paid a lot more than the newbies. | ||

Now anyone, including foreigners, who's been in A or S can have a Progamer License - something previously insanely difficult to get! its actually pointless back in the bw days, if you were GOOD ENOUGH to win the OSL finals, then it didnt matter if you were a foreigner and it was "hard to get a progamer license" you could easily get one and compete. But no one was good enough. the truth is people like to try and say the kespa progamer license was something "stopping foreigners from becoming fruitful in bw".... thats not true. foreigners just werent good enough. now foreigners ARE good enough, so they are making this slight change. but make no mistake this essentially doesnt really mean anything because even if they kept the old system players good enough to compete with the best would easily get progamer licenses regardless. | ||
