After months of negotiations, Korean-based organization WeMadeFOX has finally acquired the services of Warcraft 3 maestro Jang ‘Moon’ Jae Ho.
After weeks of negotiations, Korean-based organization 
WeMadeFOX has finally acquired the services of Warcraft 3 maestro 
Jang ‘Moon’ Jae Ho.
According to the Korean e-Sports site Afreeca.com, the organization will officially unveil Moon as their first acquisition on March 12. While it is believed that Moon had been drawing a monthly salary of €10,000 with 
MYM Dreamteam, his new home will be paying him a sum of up to €16,000 monthly.
This rumor also concurs with the news posted earlier in late January (See - "We will meet Moon soon"), where the director of WeMadeFOX revealed that Moon will only be able to join the organization at the end of February due to the expiration date of the current contract with MYM.
UPDATE 12/03/2009: The day has arrived where Jang ‘Moon’ Jae Ho officially joins WeMadeFOX. The former player of MeetYourMakers signed a three year contract which will give him 700.000.000 won, approximately 390,000€, making him the second best paid eSports player in Korea.
Moon is very honored to play for WeMadeFOX and pleased that he could play under better circumstances. Playing for WeMadeFOX also puts a bit of a pressure on him as he is the only Warcraft 3 player and has to perform very well to satisfy the team.
Futhermore the manager said that Moon will not be playing Starcraft, nor will they be preparing him for Starcraft 2, since it was never their intention.
Readmore.eu made an interview with Moon as well as the manager of WeMadeFOX, regarding their decision to sign Moon and what they have planned for him. Link to the interview can be found here

Well... It's a lot of money, but still - not enought to live without work in whole life. Moon signed 3 years contract, that means he will be "forced" to play wc3 at this time, but wc3 scene will have a huge problem after sc2 comes out. A lot of semi-progamers and a lot of attention will swich from previous to the next game, so wc3 will be less competitive. It's provides me to the conclusion: what about moon's motivation? Right now he plays at 100% to be on the top, in next years it will be probably not nessesery. After two years of playing without a heart and motivation it will be hard for him, to switch to new platform, when top pla

rofl that is ridiculous.
They have no clue about negotiation. They could have gotten Moon for 1/5 that price. I wonder how much he would have been offered if he had actually won a world ti I also wonder if other pla | |

Quoting imported_ixion: I don't have to, nor want to be as good as Moon. The fact that this Korean makes $12,000 a month to sit on his ass and play a video game is pathetic. The world's economy is going to shiz, and this kid is getting paid more than several families income combined. It's pathetic and disgusting. Quoting era022001:I forgot to /3 get off my nuts.
