i don't know what makes you guys think MC isn't pretty well off financially for the rest of his life. he had a pretty long career, played for big teams and won a lot of stuff. and he caught the prosperous era of sc2 as well. so unless he pissed away his money, which he probably didn't, i'm pretty sure commentating is just something to keep him busy and productive in some way, not a means of making a living.

I had a look at his earnings on Liquipedia and taking into consideration maybe another 100K not recorded for the public eye to see, MC is not financially well off for the rest of his life. He's 24, not 65. He played SC2 for 5 years and shorter before that in BW. He had to forgo education at the tertiary level. Pro gamers are good at the games they play but academically, they're probably dumb as a rock. He's not Polt. If he chooses to go back to school, that's gonna cost him big time.
