BW and WC3 had alot more money (especially before banking crises 2008). From all EU/US teams, that had wc3 roster before sc2, only EG was able NOT to go a step down. Examples? Fnatic had a full korean roster, mouz had two top10 worldwide players etc banking crises 2008 hitted pretty hard to wc3, I remember that all of top25 worldwide players were teamless for at least 1month at the same time. | ||

If he's not on a top team, I wouldn't be surprised if he considers the ability to go overseas more valuable than playing in PL. Oversea tournaments are starting to become overrated. With about 10k winnings (for first place) per premier tournament and only about 20 (not including WCS) of those in a year. Unless you're Taeja, it's really hard to get stable earnings from it. Many code B koreans are getting slaughtered by top foreigners. And the KR qualifiers for each tournament is brutal as it is often stacked with code S players. I still feel the smarter thing to do is join a kespa team, participate in proleague, maintain/improve skill level, slowly work your way up and hopefully win a WCS event (or get 2nd place 3 times in a row). And with some of the bigger proleague teams, foreign tournaments is not out of reach given that players qualify. | ||

And all the other KeSPA teams other than IM who are basically a corpse rotting away in some corner right now seem to be doing reasonable fine! Also there is this one team, they are all Koreans, but they somehow got foreign sponsorship, they already produce one really funny video for their sponsor! I wish I could tell you to check it out, I just kinda forgot the name, something with math I think!!! It seems that Korean teams outside of KeSPA can't really do anything in a Korean market, or really find any sponsors unless they got the church backing them  | ||

I know I know, Also I was to stupid to write Prime in there, I meant Prime jsut found a new Sponsor! So the first part which you addressed was not about Axiom but about Prime, the second part was me trying to be funny and horribly failing ^-^ Its 3 am I hope you excuse my inability to not fuck up! <3 | ||
