Professional gaming is big in Korea. How big? Over four hundred thousand smackeroos big. Player Jae Ho 'Moon' Jang has signed a contract for US$473,037 to play WarCraft III.

Signing a contract to play for WeMade FOX team for 700 million Korean won, the 22-year-old is currently the highest paid player in the Korean e-Sports scene and the second highest paid player in its history. Back in 2007, StarCraft legend Yoon Yeol 'NaDa' Lee inked a deal to play for 750 million won.

"I am honored to play for a Korea professional gaming team for Koreans," Moon stated. "As setting good circumstance of playing, I will give everything to my fans and FOX team by winning lots of titles in 2009." And making lots and lots of money.

Time to start playing Warcraft III again, lol.

Warcraft 3 is epic. I had to rip myself from 4-5 years of addiction. I pretty much played ladder 4v4, sometimes 1v1, and along with ring wars, element td, and a mix of other tds n such. Playing lots of 4v4 was fun but it's hard to keep a decent win percentage since a lot of people don't know what micro and strategy is. 1v1 can be frustrating if you didn't play it often since people were on a totally different level than 4v4 people along with different strats.

I love RTS's. Ive played most of the big ones. Warcraft 3 is not only the most fun, but the best out there. I thought I was going to get into warhammer 40k but it was a a giant yawn fest compared to WC3.

I'm a DotA man myself. Haha in fact, that's the only thing I do on this rig, besides reading of course! DotA is just an awesome custom map. I'm going to go play!

Yeah, they are. Also, they b!tch way too often. It's rediculous. I'm hoping bnet 2.0 gives a punishment type system for those who leave any Warcraft III game. It's a dream of mine.
