Then he kept going after college and BANG, we are where we are today. | ||

I don't think you can really say he transcends esports, when he only really has a presence in starcraft 2. Outside of starcraft, he's a really small figure relative to the rest of gaming. | ||

It's more narrow then, say, Science or Tech, but a lot less narrow than something like Music or Hollywood. Frankly, I'd think the category would be filled with young successful indie devs, or guys making new hardware or sites/platforms. | ||

I don't think we can know how much they made from their salary but its probably around as much as the prize money. I wouldn't be surprised if Flash made more than 200 k per year in salary alone in the end (thats about how much Nada made in his prime in BW http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=16156). Its safe to say that Jaedong made less money than Flash since he was on a poor team (OZ). He got offers to play for a higher salary on other teams (it was rumored that SKT wanted to buy him when he was a free agent - I don't remember if that rumour ever was confirmed though), but he wanted to stay with OZ and coach Cho. | ||
