Do you really think, that any foreign team can offer more money then STX Soul? lol. I do. Especially considering that STX is a company that can't manage their finance for shit when some foreign team can actually balance a budget (EG/Acer/Millenium/WW just to quote some)
At the same time, STX is a company that has total assets worth of $ 23 billion USD (and is few billion (I think 9?) in debt though).
But the original poster was indeed talking about price money from tournaments, so that's something different.. He probably would be able to win a lot of them, but on the other hand if he would want to go to foreign tournaments in the off-season, STX would probably let him, because why not...

No probably not more than jaedong, I just mean maybe EG doesn't see value in spending tons of money on another sc2 player at this time and they're happy with their current roster.
Most likely the case.
I mean let's be honest, Jaedong has been performing really well lately and generating tons of hype, and the support crew of aLive, Revival and Oz have been doing unexpectedly well as of late. I mean Revival's really hit his stride recently, having shown nothing but glimpses of hope in GSTL in the past; aLive and Oz may not be back in their Code S Top 4 forms (+ IPL Champion, MLG Top 4 respectively) but they're getting back up there for sure.
Plus, let's be honest, after this weekend I expect Bogus' stock to decline a bit and for good reason.

Well, if it is Innovation then good for them and shocking that EG "failed" to get him assuming they tried. maybe EG doesn't want him? Maybe Innovation does not like to be cursed?
Hes already been cursed by Artosis so what else does he have to lose?
lol

All the clues point to Acer.Innovation as crazy as that might sound. Per Acer Tweet player lost in the round of 16 at WCS Finals that leaves Welmu, Duckdeok, Grubby, MC, Polt, Innovation, Maru, MMA. Scarlett strongly hinted in a tweet that the player is a terran. That leaves Polt, Innovation, Mari=u, MMA. We can eliminate MMA as he is already on Acer, Scarlett also said the new player will be playing in GSTL. That probably eliminates Polt as he is studying in Texas. So we are left with Innovation and Maru. The profile in the blacked out picture provided by Acer looks a lot more like Innovation than it does like Maru.
Wow, I really think it is going to be Acer. Innovation!

im hoping for MARUUUUUUU but i have no idea.

I highly doubt it's bogus, I think you underrestimate how well stx can pay despite having a hard time, pretty sure it's maru.

I don't think Innovation wants a bank full of tiny pieces of paper with "I.O.U" written on it.

Only thing that bugs me about it is, that STX comfirmed they would keep the SC team directly after the PL finals. Still think it's Innovation.

scarlett said she is playing the person who is going to be on the team, lets just check her profile and see who she played against.

Can't do that if they chose the "Don't show in match history" option in the lobby

It would make sense.
