The other players and staff also got new contracts.

Korea BoxeR in the lights again. Lim Yo Hwan, more known as BoxeR got himself a mighty annual raise to 180,000 USD. He will also be given an even bigger salary if he performs at his best in the leagues - 80,000 USD more at most. This breaks the previous record which was held by NaDa who signed a contract last August for 200,000 USD.

First long contract for BoxeR


"I always admire other players for their long contracts, "they have the stable home" I said to myself." said BoxeR in an interview with PlaySC.com and translated by Emlary over at TeamLiquid.net. Now that he got himself a similar contract he feel very relieved but also an odd kind of pressure that he finds hard to explain.
