When Action played for eSTRO he didnt have a salary at all despite being their best or second best player - that's the reality of progaming in Korea, unless you are at the top of the pack you won't make anything CLOSE to flash's salary. Take, I wouldn't bad that suprised if the EG guys get more than someone like Snow (middle pack player) Dude, Action not getting paid in _eSTRO_ is not the reality of progaming in Korea. They were fucking poor as hell, I don't think they even had a maid? IIRC when Ret was there he had to clean the dishes and stuff because he was the lowest ranked player inhouse or something like that? | ||

What can they really do if some of these guys ''retire'' in bw and then just go play sc2 on their own and perhaps get picked up by foreign teams etc? I very much doubt that a prior bw contract would have something against that in it. | ||

The dishwashing is just normal for newer players in the team, Flash even had to do that when they first arrived at the team.. That is just part of the culture in the team that the newbies get the chores.. I don't know if it also has something to do with "in-house ranking" etc.. I'm just mentioning Action because other players on eSTRO had a salary And I bet you that the B-teamers are getting close to nothing which is a really sad reality of progaming, I doubt it functions that way in foreign teams since their practice partners is an online ladder system, if KeSPA players had it their way they wouldn't practice on the ladder but only inhouse and KeSPA team to KeSPA team practice (like, KT Rolster is known to practice alot with Wongjin Stars) | ||

For instance, I think Crank could join a KeSPA team. Of course, if there's nothing like a "gentlemen's agreement" besides what have been signed. | ||

Or does it mean the moment you get slapped with the GSTL tag, you can't join a Kespa team regardless, even if you leave the team in the meanwhile? I'm assuming that Kespa teams just won't sign non-kespa players and the ESF teams won't sign Kespa or former Kespa players. | ||

(stating the obvious) But I think it's too much, I believe that after HotS skill levels will even out. | ||

I think in the ROOT.MajOr announcement, Catz claimed that MajOr tried to get onto a KeSPA team but couldn't. Nevertheless, I wonder what they're going to do with discharged Ace players. | ||

Well obviously for the lesser sponsored GOM teams e.g. HoSeo fans this contract is a good thing. Imagine if there was a possibility of Flash and other KT players being poached and it eventually shutting down. Sure, they'll all still play but it's just not the same anymore as a fan. Unless you were more of a fan of individuals than teams from the start. | ||
