I wanted to see so much more from Arthur...

Me too. I remember when SlayerS was in its end phase and they still played the EG Masters Cup and Arthur stepped it up so many times and in the end he went 8-2 in Matches and 17-7 in Maps, which was very impressive imo. So much potential, but I guess without the SlayerS environment his progress as a player was slowed down immensly.

Looks like he won it.

I think he was talking about this one:

Sounds like a typical case of culture clash Korean <-> Western.
I hope he finds a new team quickly, he was one of the prospects of SlayerS. Best of luck to him and of course also to WW!!!

Didn't WW just lost SortOf?

Indeed they have. When WW assembled their full roster earlier this year it looked like they could genuinely become recognised as one of the main premier teams of Europe. Then they got all-killed in the TeamStory Cup By Hope (at the time he was a complete noname-er) and since then they've lost SortOf, their best foreigner (and arguably the best player of the team).

The roster is still fairly strong, bolstered mainly by Sting, but once again they're looking very light.

Haven't really heard much from the team or Arthur in a long time it feels. I remember Arthur making those ipl starts in team league and owning. But than he just vanished like ipl and slayers.

How do you know what was his salary? Maybe he realised after he signed the contract it was really bad compared to others and tried to change it. Just a usual change of teams

My point is that he agreed to a certain salary the day he signed his contract.
His results lets be honest haven't been better since he signed,hence a raise would not be acceptable as a manager point of view.

If he wasn't satisfied with it in the first place he shouldn't have signed,i guess WW said to him when he signed that he would eventually have a raise if he had good results.

PS : WW seems like a serious team to me,even the basic salary should be average for a pro-gamer.

Gonna throw in my two cents here, going off of the assumption that his salary was decent and allowed him to cover his living conditions and such.

So you go to the manager and you demand a raise. He refuses it. Why don't you show him that you deserve it, why don't you earn it? Compete in online tournaments and qualifiers, own nerds, get invited or qualify for tournaments, show him that you're good and tell him to send you to tournaments. And even then, you can still earn a little extra cash just by competing more. Hell, there's 8 Go4sc2 cups in a month (12 if you're a premium ESL member), 8 ZOTAC cups, both of these franchises also have monthly finals with pretty good payout, and then there's stuff like EnerJ cups and the odd South East Asian cup.

He's proven his chops in such tournaments before, hell it's only been 2 days since he crushed StarDust 3-0 in the finals of the latest NA ZOTAC...

In the end it's his choice to make and I respect that, but I wish he hadn't picked the easiest way out, gambling that someone else will pick him up and meet his conditions... ~_~
