Most serious gamers' wet dream is to get paid for their hobby. Well some lucky individuals get that wet dream. This guy just happened to hit the jackpot by becoming the second highest paid gamer in the world.

After spending three years in Meet Your Makers, which let go of their Warcraft III and Starcraft squads in January due to “strategy concern”, Jae Ho 'Moon' Jang, one of the most illustrious players - if not the most - penned a three-year contract with WeMade FOX that worth 700,000,000 won, approximately 473,037 USD based on exchange rate today.

Moon relished the chance to play for a home-ground team, and is keen to bring more trophies in the future. He said in the press conference earlier today, "I am honored to play for a Korea professional gaming team for Koreans. As setting good circumstance of playing, I will give everything to my fans and FOX team by winning lots of titles in 2009."

WeMade FOX manager, in the meantime, hinted at more players making their ways to the newly formed team, "We are concerned with it(training). There aren't many first class players in Korea, and the training condition is pretty poor so players usually train with foreign players. We will introduce more quality players in the near future so I am quite confident of our training scheme."
