I wonder if the foreign team trend is starting to shift to KeSPA trend now for the ESF Korean players. the teams will support the players when they're in the team house/on the team, sure. but from what i've seen, it's almost expected of young players that are well off to funnel funds to their parents, at least in some respect. concurrently, after their progaming career, hopefully they have some money saved so they can continue to support themselves in future ventures. i'm not saying this as like a definitive thing, but it definitely would make their lives easier. | ||

They utilise their experience to become coaches for each of their teams, rise through the organisation that destroy Kespa from the inside? :O I think you might be onto something.... | ||

SC players have a relatively short shelf life and the competition is brutal Big loss for Startale, but i am sure they will recover Someone postet earlier in this thread that Parting made about 20k on Startale and there was another post/article saying he now makes about 70k. | ||

The appeal is just too good. Money & stability at the cost of slightly less freedom. | ||

Coeteris paribus, yes. But if you know anything about economy you would predict that eSF is going to become a little bit more aggressive in player salaries. They will make sponsors pay up more money so that the players don't leave the team. | ||

More exciting is if ESF and Kespa start becoming more and more money from sponsors just from the drama the two groups create. First Esf gets more money, then Kespa gets more money, suddenly foreign teams *have* to start making Korea their focus, and it will be a Kespa/ESF/World madness  Or maybe I'm being too hopeful. | ||

I think you are. ^w^ But I don't think that is the future of "e-sports" (ew, I hate this name). SC will become more and more an individual game, and not team-based anymore, having only some minor team events just like tennis. Tennis have a lot of individual players, but the mid tier ones are in clubs, and once they break out they become individually coached and sometimes go to a Davis Cup (which I don't even know if it still exists). | ||
