He would be lucky if he can win 3 individual tournaments in the whole year. BTW, he can participate most of the big foreign tournaments out there, KeSPA teams' attitudes toward foreign tournaments are changing. Also, he will not play in SPL for at least 2 months, that's enough free time. Well, of course I don't know how successful he's going to be in HotS. And yeah, KeSPA teams' attitudes toward foreign events are changing but I still don't think they really care about ANYTHING outside Korea. I don't think that they're ever going to chance their schedule in order to let their players participate on a MLG tournament, even less for any other foreign event. I might be wrong (And I really hope so!), but it seems kinda unlikely imo. | ||

He won 200'000$ in one year mostly from foreign tournaments - either they pay him a fuckload of money so he doesn't need the money from the foreign tournaments or he's just plain stupid to do without those tournaments. Because... I don't think he'll be allowed to play on many foreign tournaments anymore. Oo He won most of it from WCS and WCG both of which Kespa players play in. He can still play OSL, GSL, MLG. The only really big money tournament he is missing is NASL, IPL and the big Dreamhacks. Also, it is not like he is guaranteed to win $200,000 each year. His $70,000 salary would have been close to top 10 in earnings in 2012. Remember that a lot of tournaments are top heavy. If you don't have a top 2-3 finish in one of the big events, your winnings for a year is something like $10,000-$15,000. | ||

Guess Parting always needs a brotoss with sick PvP. Now I really really hope that he can teach Bisu. Please? | ||

Glad to hear Parting's going to SKT T1 though! You are forgetting that HotS is coming. That is almost a new start for everyone. As someone said few pages ago, he might be practicing HotS even harder than WoL right now. But we'll see. | ||

I thought there were always just a few players who play there because of their cooperation, but not really because a "player would like to attend". And yes, I agree that you need a top 3 placement to actually get a decent amount of money - that's why I'd agree that it's a good thing for some... Decent players to join a KeSPA teams but not really for the ones who win everythig abroad. (And btw: he got a salary from Startale as well, just not as much as he's getting now, but it's not that he relied solely on his success) | ||

More multitasking for protoss! Hope he'll do well  | ||

How many players won $70,000 US from playing aboard last year? Just because you won a lot this year, doesn't not mean anything next year. Think about it, if PartinG had not perfected his wonwonwon, he probably would have only won $30,000 or so last year. He was 2 Bo3 alway from not making $130,000 plus ( if he didn't qualify thru WCS Korea). These are not good odds. Of course, the players at the top look like they are making huge money, but competition is so fierce at the top level. A couple bad matches at the wrong times can cost you a lot of money. | ||

Well, assuming that he asks for similar pay (probably less than PartinG but not significantly so), KT will probably be the only ones that will bid for him. | ||
