30 years as single.

I mean i would be happy to see Mvp play again, but he would be one of many good terrans these days, nothing "special" at all imo.

Let him retire FFS
He's done enough, I hope this isn't the team or the coaches holding him in.

This so much. He already went down in history as the greatest SC2 player ever, what could he realistically add to that in the current environment...

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.


he made that only from winnings ... how about salary ? oO

Stop playing games with our hearts and just return, Mvp!

About time you win that fifth GSL.

There's this too, though... I wonder what his real feelings are.

I'd be about 7 years comfortably.
In any case, Mvp had to of been making some salary money too. Also he probably wasn't (or isn't) paying for much living in the team house.

I read in a interview (back in the time of the first sc2 osl) he bought a house for his parents, so I bet a good chunk of those 350k is already long gone

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


Confirmed its utter shit living.

Can i have it ?

Taxes on the prizes and medical bills will make it much less than $35k. Plus he probably gives it to his parents with Korean tradition and whatnot.

Any salary money IM made was probably a pittance.

I don't know why people get super-excited about anything Mvp. He has been totally irrelevant for a long time, and I don't think he'd be in the very top tier of Maru/Life even if he did come back (to me, Life's first GSL finals was enough proof that was a better player). He may be one of the smartest ever, but with how competitive Korea is now, he wouldn't necessarily be one of the best. Plus I remember hearing this guy has some serious wrist or back issues - a hardcore starcraft career is probably not even possible.

Just let him go - I hope he makes a decision with minimal external pressure and if not starcraft, then makes the most of his talent elsewhere.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

DId you guys bother to notice the TL retirement post was on 3/31 - which is 4/1 in Korea time?
He's laughing that the community "forced retired" him right now according to the Korean text.

For the year LG sponsored them I'm sure their salaries were actually very good. Especially MVPs and Nesteas since the sponsorship started while they were still 2 of the best players in the world.
