Given the concept of a salary is present in almost all jobs, you'd think that nobody would do work, huh? There are probably conditions as to how much he has to participate/perform, opportunities for bonuses, etc. | ||

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. Yes and theres also a huge difference between a Korean thats fallen off and the best foreign player outside of GSL to date. | ||

While I don't agree with your wording ("kill motivation to win"), I definitely agree with your sentiment. This kind of stuff happens all the time in the NBA. Player A gets paid a long term and lucrative contract; the following year they don't perform the same as they did before the contract. | ||

eSports needs to grow so that people are actually attracted to this lifestyle. Right now it requires huge sacrifice/risk. | ||

Plus, the better he does, the more leverage when it comes to re-signing. I wonder if he has an agent to help him decide or something. | ||

Huk dropped because he refuses to change his style. Every single time I watch him i swear to god he 2 base all ins, when everyone knows that is what you are going to do you are going to struggle a lot and it's shown. Now that 2 base timings have gotten figured out a lot if that's all you know how to do you are going to drop off the scene. | ||
