After a quick google search it seems like average salaries in Korea is around 22 000 of course programmer work more hours then the usual person but it seems to be a pretty good job. Someone know the cost of life in Korea? When I was living there in 2010, the cost of living wasn't very high. When you see that Korean pro gamers make more than the average annual income in South Korea, and factor in they don't have to pay for rent... they make a lot of money. | ||

They do have some flukes sometimes but they get destroyed by random top SEA teams alot who couldn't even normally beat a single game out of the best CN,EU,NA(ofc those top SEA teams upset top teams from time to time too but it's kinda rare) Though they still earned ton by placing middle of the last The International ( $829,333 that's alot but remember that the first placer got $6,634,661). This hasn't been true since early 2014, Korean Dota is easily the best in SEA and had 2 teams in The International this year despite having like 25 people in the country who play it. | ||

The Korean infrastructure shone through this year. But props to MVP for putting together the only possible teams in the entire scene. Though the hilarious part about being a SC2 & Dota2 fan is that Alex Garfield has managed to put collect 2 TI winning teams. The guy knows how to run Western Pro-teams. | ||

For example, I lived a year in Gangnam and my rent was around 2,000$ month, and then I moved to near Sinchon (near where the TechnoMart is) and my rent went down to about 500$ / month. This was always living by myself. I was looking for apartments in NYC and unless you want to go very far out, you're still looking at least $1,000 / month edit: My $500/month apt was down the road from IM's house -> | ||

Yeah i'm not sure about them being the best. They've always been destroyed by rave before(though if i think about it rave can be considered as part of the korean scene so i guess that's true for at least 2014) they are not the best on SEA for a while now .. Mineski and Fnatic is the best atm On December 25 2015 04:34 Taf the Ghost wrote: The Korean infrastructure shone through this year.

Those TI winners aren't handpicked by alex garfield. Those two rosters already formed a long time before they got picked up by alex garfield. Everything that happens inside the team from who stays on the team and who leaves are decided by the team members. The org involvement just makes stuff like travelling, taking care of the players food, plans/schedule sponsorships etc but gameplay and team chemistry are all on the team. | ||

When you have 50k people watching and you're getting .50c an add or even less than that, after like 5-10 adds it adds up real fast, hell even .01c an add up gets up there pretty fast | ||
