SK.reis talks about Warcraft 3's underbelly

ImageSK Gaming's Warcraft 3 manager Min-Sik "reis" Ko has revealed many interesting details about how teams work, why WC3L could not go on with big teams and how the player salaries are bound to drop in 2009.



Our friends from Fragster have taken a very interesting interview from reis, the manager of SK's Warcraft 3 team. It sheds light on many aspects of the industry that fans are generally not aware of.

In the interview, reis explains exactly why it did not pay off to have big Warcraft 3 teams. He mentions that SK Gaming is considering keeping two or three WC3 players and predicts that a lot of players will get offloaded from their teams in January. This also means that player earnings should go down in 2009.

"The players have to realize that they can't earn this much any more," he says. "But now you cannot say to a player 'from now on you are getting less, because next month there will be many free agents anyway that would cost much less than you now.' A player would always think that he still deserves the same money since he is still in a very good team."

The interview also goes in detail about why SK, mTw and Meet Your Makers have decided to split the NGL One prize money equally among themselves and has a couple of hints as to who will stay with SK for another season. You can read it right here.
