Regardless of what Flash makes, KT will outbid EG.

On the actual topic, it means less pros will use G1/DT-35 =(

As long as they (KT) think SC2 is worth spending so much money

To be fair I think it is a widespread belief that Flash's salary is 400k, though I can't remember the source (it may have been a completely unrelated interview, that said top players such as Boxer or Nada earn up to 400k or something like that).

Flash managed to pull off $400k during his most dominating year. This figure includes salary (est. $220k) + tournament winnings ($200k), then it became a huge misconception that he was earning $400k as salary.

Also, I highly doubt EG is that rich. They were only able to pick up Jaedong because he was probably unpaid by Team 8, or had a enormous cut in salary. I highly doubt they're paying Jaedong the six figures he used to earn with Hwaseung Oz, they knew the position Jaedong was in, and that he'd probably accept an average A team player's salary + lodging + travel (and possibly performance bonuses)

If only Team 8 could get some sponsorship love, KT already has money.

Lotte FITIN. KIA Drivers. I see so much potential in them. Wondering what that new head of KeSPA, the gov't official is doing.

I highly doubt that he'll be at 1-2k when he streams

Lotte is kind of sponsoring MVP already, so idk about that. But the automobile industry would be nice.

Hmm. But Team 8 still without a major sponsor.

There's no way that Flash would join EG. He's trying to become the best player in the world and has a great situation on KT to do that. Why would he join a team that requires him to stream and has a worse infrastructure for practice?

This could very well be a promotional one-time thing, because of the sponsorship, or something. Maybe once a month

I doubt that flash is interested in being stream hero (he'd spend his time better elsewhere)

edit- oh, fake. my bad

If he does start streaming, I honestly doubt it'll be too much. When MKP and Mvp streamed around their prime, they still barely pulled in ~10k. Yeah, Flash might get 20k when he starts. But I doubt it'll ever be higher than a consistent 10k. If it does become like that, then good for eSports.

damnit i really hope they're not gonna make him stream on twitch. i'm a flash fan and i really don't like that. i'd rather just see him play periodically in tournaments, getting surprised by stuff he does. this is just too much.

More like people don't know how to properly stream and it's the same thing I said about with JD. It's all about the aura man. I say screw streaming.

Nope. Not everyone watches streams for entertainment value.

I think it would be awesome to see a big Kespa player move to another team, but I just can't see KT letting him go.

This. No matter how much money EG could possibly throw at him, I hilariously and highly doubt he would leave his very foundation and life as a progamer; his home of friends and family.
