Not a fair comparison. Slaves don't choose to be in their position.

They earn their position. Some of them get fortunate and the teams use their freebies on them to be on the roster.

I said 'similar' and only referred to the benefits. I'm not saying they're like slaves in all aspects, just that the benefits listed are also the ones slaves are entitled to.

Yes/No, Not all B teamers had too, but most certainly the smaller teams had a deal similar to that(or free board but pay for your own food+do chores). I know SKT b teamers up until they got let go got free room/food.

You guys must be thinking of the [Name] amateur BW team house. It was more like a BW camp that parents send their kids to to see if they have potential of becoming pro, hence the money payment.

Do the players have salaries at all? Aside from LG they are sponsored by: Coca-Cola, Nvidia, Kingston HyperX, Steelseries just to name a few. I'm sure they'll figure out something.
Those sponsors don't really mean much if they aren't giving monetary support and I seriously doubt Kingston, Steelseries, and Nvidia would give much money to a dying market in a dead region when SC2 is more viable in EU.
