Jaedong was on team8 so it makes a lot of sense. And sticking with one of the best teams is good for practice if nothing else. Rumors have been floating around the Korean community for some time that KeSPA teams are cutting back on SC2 after this seasons Proleague to focus money on LoL (KT just picked up one of the more popular players. Maknoon from Najin, for example). However, rumors are rumors, and this one is pretty damn silly - especially as Flash is still a marquee player (and arguably the best in SC2 out of the TBLS group). | ||

Judging from the picture (although you can't really tell that clearly), it seems only the mouse part is actual gold since it seems much more lustrous than the base. | ||

It's around 64k value in your currency and 13.2 million won in korea if it's 99.9% purity when you melt the gold down. It's definitely something you want to keep in a safe deposit box since the value is only gonna go up over time. This is outside of the "sentimental" value of course. | ||

Its probably true. Starcraft 2 is semi-dead in Korea. Though honestly I don't really care much about Korea as long as everywhere else is doing well. | ||

I mean there have been several write-ups on the accomplishments with varying stories on their total worth, but at the very least they tell you exactly how many karats of gold they used in each trophy. They are marked. I still cannot find the images of the platinum or the diamond anywhere. X_X Anyway, I believe every trophy should be ionic in a way that we remember them. Unfortunately a lot of the current trophies seem to miss the mark. I had no problem with the old OSL trophies but everything else recently just lacks creativity other than the Iron Squid trophy. | ||
