He 'officially' retired a while back, but has also randomly been active, playing now and then in GSL qualifiers and random competitions. I gotta think his military situation was complicated, like being put on a long waiting list, getting called up and sent back home, or something unusual of that nature. | ||

Like I know it depends on how good they are and what they negotiate but I don't even have a clue about the ballpark we're talking about. Kespa era salary was capped at around 60k$ yearly (in SC2) which was what the top players got (there was a thread about it). Solar once said that on the chinese WTL teams salary was similar to kespa era. Nowadays probably significantly lower though. | ||

In the LEC (European League of Legends) the minimum wage for players is 60K a year, though players usually get more than that. The average is apparently around 240K, though the median is around 160K. In Counterstrike the wage might be a bit lower, considering that players often get huge chunks of the prizemoney earned, but idk. When the organisation Into The Breach went down (because of embezzlement and mismanagement) it was said that they had a salary budget up to 1 million per year for Counterstrike and DotA2. These are of course just general benchmarks and hardly translate to SC2, considering that SC2 teams have a hard time generating money on their own (since I assume players don't share their prizepools with the teams). Now with EWC on the horizon and the points in SC2 being as valuable as they are in any other game, orgs like Weibo, Falcons or JDG might be ready to invest more into salaries to keep the players motivated/give them the opportunity to train correctly | ||

And not to forget in that era: housing, food , equipment and stuff was basically free, so 60k without any fixed expenses is pretty darn good I guess | ||

Maybe his account is not entirely accurate, but I think there's a decent chance that's where salaries realistically topped out (for nefarious reasons or otherwise). | ||
