There is much talk about the casting quality of Pro League right now, but it seems obvious that the $5 price for 8 months couldn't possibly pay for experienced, established casters to move to Korea to cast. So I'm curious, rather than complaining about something that obviously doesn't add up mathmatically, would you pay more for better quality casters?

I suppose I would, but it doesn't really make sense from a business point of view to, first, ask people to pay up and THEN up your production value. You come up with a product, and if it's good enough, people will be attracted to it.
Although, gauging interest is quite alright, I guess.
The problem probably isn't money, KESPA has plenty of that, but rather, in my opinion the difficulty of getting an established caster to cast proleague IN korea for 8 MONTHS. Also, many of the "established" casters work for GOM which rules them out and others live outside of korea and probably would not be willing to spend 8 months in korea and ditch the rest of their lives.
$5 for 8 months sounds like a pretty arbitrary amount that had very little thought put into it. Frankly its so low for this amount of time, they may as well of made it for free. The commentary is really neither here nor there as it pertains to the current sub price IMO.
