Salary information is wrong. The drafted female players for 2018/2019 season will be paid 150,000 USD including tax while male players will be paid 300,000 USD excluding tax+ alpha. Korean star KYK complained of this discriminatory regulation.
Really? Who are those players? They are all old but i havent heard their names…
As a footnote, drafted female players will be paid 150,000 USD (before taxation) basic salary, plus prizes for individual victories, accommodation, guaranteed airline tickets and championship bonus while male players will be paid 300,000 USD (after taxation), plus prizes for individual victories, accommodation, guaranteed airline tickets and championship bonus.
Except Tomsia and Piertersen, those aren’t really ‘famous’ players
It’s this the Final list?
Re: @denz lidang
These are the players who are going to be tested in the tryout and 6 out of the 34 players will go through the tryout and get a draft.
