Maybe he is still weighting his decision.

According to liquipedia, he made about $350K gross. That's a pretty crappy middle class for 10 years, especially given that 3+ of those years are already gone.


How is $35K per year "pretty crappy" when he doesn't need to support a family?


Except he supports his family, also he is married. And I'm not sure if liquipedia counts his salary too.


When did he get married? I assume you are confused him with nestea?

does the 350K count the taxes that Mvp has to pay? or is it already subtracted?

I would be the happiest ever if he would come back for Legacy Of The Void and define the meta by winning a few high profile games.

you can say ' the king of wings ' but to say ' the king ' isn't accurate, there's one true king. and that's marineking.
This game saved me from ending it.

Never been happier. Would love for him to come back with new wrists and show us how to play again.

I'd also love for IM to be a thing in SC2 again. T_T
Long live the King of Wings

this is why people should never consider the words of some other random guy to be the absolute truth. this is exactly how rumors get started, and time and time again people have never fully figured it out. at least it isn't a bad rumor.

mvp will retire, when he says he will retire.

although he really should give his fans an update as to what the hell he's doing nowadays, instead of relying on other people to do it for him, or to just simply not give a crap. i'm pretty sure there are a lot of mvp fans out there who are very curious and a little frustrated about being kept in the dark as to what he's doing.

The coach says he is not retired, but not seeing him in any tournament nor hearing any news from him is still pretty depressing. I mean, not too long ago he streamed a few of his games and there was still hope but even that faded

Hope he enters the scene pretty soon again for real. We need the King of Wings back on track to show them whos the real Bonjwa

Yeah well, he still hasn't played a game in many months...

Hope he'll end up doing something cool anyway!

I really hope he doesn't comeback if it hurts too much to play. Rather he live a healthier life down the line. But if he's willing to, I'm all for it!
Forever the best, IMMvp <3

LoL where are you guys living? With 350K $ I would live almost 20 years without a job. I live in Germany and spent around 900€ for a month, so in a year almost 10k, which means I will be ok for 30 years. You guys must be living in really EXPENSIVE countries..
