to be honest, does not really seem like that much money, however if the number keeps increasing that is all that matter

Well I knew he was going to sign the contract I just didn't know why it took him so long to do so. Maybe he just wanted to get the best deal possible. Either way 96k a year is pretty damn nice.

I would also like to point out that those numbers arnt confirmed, and I would go as far to say that they arnt accurate.

FYI If you watch the last VOD of Live on Three, Scoots theorizes "$4000/month" to be a very large salary for a ProGamer:

http://www.twitch.tv/onemoregametv/b/331309076

Jump to 16:15 Scoots says "maybe he wanted $4000 a month."

Hmmmmmmmmm.........


Even though that's Scoots talking about another team, that makes sense. I just don't see these teams paying these guys anything over $4000 a month, and I'd be very surprised if anyone is even getting that. There's simply no way a gamer can get free housing, travel, tournament/stream money, and close to $100k a year. Realistically, I'd say 35k a year is high for a pro gamer.

No, Flash makes (or made at this point) $200,000 base (has potential for more with incentives), there's no way in hell he made over $500,000 in a year, even when he won 4 leagues and both team leagues. Jaedong made like 168-187 a few years ago.

Citation needed.

NaDa, for instance, had a salary of something like $800k over 3 years, and that's one of the biggest I can remember.

100k considering very little expenses since everything else is paid for? That's A LOT.

No, they haven't. From Moon's wiki -
It was later revealed that Moon had signed a three-year contract with the Korean team WeMade FOX for $500,000 which made him the highest paid esports player at the time, a title which was previously held by Korean professional gamer NaDa (who is also a member of WeMadeFox).

That was in 2008, a year after BW's peak. Stephano is likely being paid as much as most of the BW stars, considering the sponsorship situation in Korea right now (can KeSPA realistically be giving Jaedong more than $100k out of pocket?).

Was clearly an exaggeration, but here is a thread I remembered from a couple years ago.

Sure Flash might be paid better, but Flash is not most KeSPA pros.
