I wish we could get some news on Byun, like anything, at this point even just knowing he retired, but knowing for sure, is better then not knowing shit.

Well according to what we read, Prime haven't been paying their employees for 4 years, so Byun probably took a job flipping Korean beef or something when he realized that you can't pay for food or rent in minerals. Unlike, somehow, the rest of Prime, who may have been eating out of dumpsters and living in boxes for the last 4 years unbeknownst to the rest of us.

Or they could have families that help pay for living costs? I don't think Prime is made of orphans.

They did have Primezzang and TT eSports money for a while. I think Primezzang still helps them out.
While the "sponsor" money wasn't much, it could be enough to maintain rent or taxes while enough for food for the team house. Also it isn't like the players/employee couldn't have "al-ba" jobs (no salary, manual labor) as a supplemental income.

MVP already has their main sponsor, Lotte(hot 6ix).

Lotte owns an amusement park in Seoul right ? MVP should rename in Lotte Rolster.

And prime should rename in KTC.

I probably posted it a thousand time now :
ByuN had health problems and was hospitalized for a while. He should have start SPL next season but but the recent problems Prime faced, IDK.

That's crazy that the team did not take care of the core players in terms of salary. If it weren't for said core players prime would not have lasted as long as it did/attract sponsorship. This is just one huge thing wrong with the decision making internally. I bet when the contract expires, the sponsor will not renew.

Its a different branch of Lotte. MVP's sponsor is Lotte Chilsung which is a drink branch responsible for hot6ix and other beverages.

so is this a complete take over e.g. team 8 -> jin air green wings or just a general sponsorship e.g. soul -> stx soul?


Im pretty sure it's more the later as the PRIME brands still exists. KTC is now the main sponsor but hopefully there should be more sponsors coming in to.
They have PRIME patches on those shirts.

salary doesnt matter for esf players. because the corporation which support them are really small than other kespa team. Team like skt or kt contribute for their team like 10 bilions a year. And player like rain soo are received salary for 1bilions a year. But it is really worth that they have new sponser

I assume thats 1 billion Won, not USD. Even so I don't beleive Rain or soO makes the equivelent of $1 million USD per anum :o

I must assume that a new sponsor significant enough that Prime can pay salaries means they will sign some decent players. What kind of sponsor would sign with a team that was the worst in SPL and just lost one of their two best players otherwise? Then again I suppose even if they lose every game they still get the same amount of (regular-season) TV time that the other teams get.

10 billion won is like 10 mil USD. I doubt they get that much money.
