I think that 400k number is his salary + prize money from winning OSL/MSL

Yay Flash! Sucks to hear Kespa players don't seem to care about GSL though :/.


why they should care GSL? GOMTV paid them something?

They make a shit load of money if they win GSL so why not? Plus even if you're in R32, you'll still get some money for it so why the hell not?


1000$ a month for code S RO32? I can afford 1000$ too, why not Manny Pacquiao take a boxing with me?

KT paid him 400K$ this season for 42 regular matches and playoff. GOMTV paid him nothing so far, why he must play for GOM?

Flash makes 400k?! thought it was more like 100 000.



100K for players such as stats,action,best,leta,calm
200K for stars,like jaedong,bisu in BW
300K for legends,Boxer,Nada, in their age.
and KT_Flash,he was given special treatment for his contribution in KT's two League Champions.More than any progamer before,more than most of soccer and baseball players in korea.

GSL just one of SC2 tourneys,but proleague is totally special, a real e-sports league.

I can see why they wouldnt care about GSL. I stopped caring about GSL after this years pro league, its just so much better than gstl. Yeah they get money if they compete, but kespa players already have money. ESF players try their hardest in GSL cause most dont make salary

Because GSL is supposed to be the highest level of sc2 competition? It should hold the same level of prestige OSL/MSL held in BW days, its supposed to be meaningful.

Yeah this is more what I was getting at. You would figure any serious SC2 player would absolutely want to win a GSL. Maybe we just have to wait for a Kespa player to win for other Kespa players take note...

I seriously doubt GSL/GSTL have anywhere near the prestige that OSL/PL have.

The unfortunate truth for GOMTV is that even though the GSL is accepted by the online community as the most prestigious individual league, it's still dwarfed by Proleague, and to a lesser extent, the OSL, in the minds and hearts of Korean fans, the bulk of which consist of BW fans. This dichotomy between the domestic and international mentality results to an underappreciation of BOTH GSL and Proleague. Longtime BW fans don't think much of GSL, since it was never among the 2 premier leagues, and longtime SC2 fans who weren't BW fans couldn't appreciate the rich history of the OSL/MSL/Proleague.

Winning in Proleague means not only the money, but attention from the GENERAL PUBLIC since it's on TV. You can win 50 GSL's but no one knows who the fuck you are in South Korea.

What? No, that can't be right. Flash has made a total of $400k over his entire career, with 6 starleague wins.

Huh? Flash has made far more than that on salary alone.

Was it disappointing that you fell out of the Up/Downs?

I'm not disappointed. It's because I didn't put a lot of hope into it. There are a lot of SC2 tournaments opening up so I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket right now.



You know whats funny? In Fomos's version of interview Flash says "I am disappointed but" but in E-Daily, it says he is not disappointed. Fomos's interview has more detail in it, so I am going to trust on fomos's interview.

I think this sums up the situation quite nicely.

For the big players the amount of money for a GSL compared to the time investment it takes probably isn't worth it. I imagine the key players will see raises if they help the team perform well in proleague.

That's true.Flash makes $400K per year,salary only. He is more likely a sports star in South Korea. Both in popularity and income.


Remember this guy?
[image loading]

a soccer player, has a nickname: the People's Rooney, WorldCup participant, born in Japan, played in Japanese and Europe clubs, and playing for Suwon Samsung Bluewings in South Korea now. His contract is about 400,000,000 Won/year, one of highest income soccer players in K-league. Flash makes about the same as him.

I love how a vague answer saying that Flash doesn't mind losing because he has other tournaments to play in brings out a bunch of people using it as an excuse for why he lost, It's kind of sad how far people will reach for excuses.
