The Dollars and Cents behind Warcraft 3

With more Warcraft 3 divisions being shut down from their organizations, myMYM.com's Marcus 'Wind' Ho goes behind the scene to find out more about the organization's team budgets, salaries and the most important of all - the reason to release their WC3 teams.
Ever wondered who the main sponsor of 
Beijing E-Sports Team is? Ever imagined being in the shoes of a manger in a Warcraft 3 team? Or are you simply too confused to think why so many teams have been shut down lately?
Wind has managed to dig out the details in his latest column titled "The Dollars and Cents of Warcraft 3".
Here's an extract regarding 
wicked eSports' disband:
| According to mart1n, former manager of wicked e-Sports, pro-gaming is still at its roots, and has a long way to go. “We worked assiduously to successfully rally a team of both Asians and Europeans. I think we became a very successful team,” mart1n said. “But unfortunately, not everything turns out as expected from the cooperation, and the people whom you have to rely on. This often happens in cybersports. “Money was the main reason why the WC3 squad was released. It coincided with the moment we should have gone to the WC3L, when the players had to renew their contracts. But a very small raise were offered to us; much less than the promised ones. “Unfortunately, none of the players agreed to sign since the players have to earn their money from playing games, and most of them are already adults. It is their job. We like each other, but we needed support. A monthly budget about $3,000 was simply not enough to keep the team, and it’s a pity we had to part ways.” |
