He deserve to receive 300million won salary because of his bw reputation and famous in korea. And even in sc2 there are no terrans better than flash exept innovation. innovation always mention flash in interview that he is really good. Flash is top tvt right now
Aside from getting into code S, Flash hasn't won anything that can be pointed to as an achievement which is why his salary deserves to stay wherever it was prior to SCII. Once he starts winning GSL/OSL/WCS finals etc... then I can see his salary going up. Having said that, his performance in PL isn't bad so he probably got some bonus from that lol. As for innovation's comment, I think he lacks confidence regardless of what his interviews seem to indicate. He realizes that Flash is a worthy foe so he obviously respects him and his style of play

That makes no sense. It stays the same as it was when he was winning championships in Brood War, but then goes up when he wins something in Starcraft 2?

Isn't bad? He's currently the top performer in SPL.

While I don't agree that he deserves a raise to 3million won a year.. Flash is still doing well in pro league and to KeSPA and KT performance in Pro League is the most important thing, because you're representing the brand and the team more than yourself. Individually, the individual leagues (GSL/OSL/WCS/etc) will obviously get you more fame, but KT could careless as long as you win Pro League. That's why you often see in players interviews that their teams are not giving them sufficient individual league practice because of the pro league focus.

For 2 days and then when everyone realizes how boring a streamer he is it'll be down to 1-2k
I highly doubt that he'll be at 1-2k when he streams
When Jaedong first streamed the internet exploded and he was at 15k for a few days but nowadays he streams all the time and really isn't interesting beyond just playing good, high apm zerg, and gets ~1k or so normally
It is just so amazingly hilarious to me that you think you can throw around 400k+ and think it is okay because you read he made 225k in 2010. Does that make sense in your world?
Got 'em! lmao.. I was wondering if that would happen..

I think he had 225k, it definitely got higher towards 2012. Then they earned more from direct sponsorship and tournament wins. I'd say that brings it to at least 300k, but probably more.

but you really can't have two peripheral sponsors can you? The only team that I can think of with this kind of sponsor is EG with razer and astro. There has to be some kind of agreement between the team and their multiple sponsors right?
Is everyone forgetting about Boxer when he streamed the few times and the internet blew up? As awesome as it was to watch him stream. Similar to JD, stream viewers started to decrease. Obviously the language barrier was a huge reason for a decrease in viewers since Boxer couldn't interact with viewers like most streamers can. Unlike many korean pros, Boxer had a mic and webcam, so there was some interaction, but not much.
With Flash' popularity I'll agree and say the internet will blow up and he'll have a shit ton of viewers, but gradually decrease over time.
