I noticed CJ, MBC, LeCaf, Hanbit contracts are almost over while Samsung's contracts are over. Wonder if they arlready renewed the contracts or will try to join other teams.
|
Thanks a lot !

dood..NaDa's income is so sick. he would be in the top 0.01% of the american economy/work force.
600,000 dollars is no joke.
come to think of it though, the somewhat lesser known progamers here aren't earning as much...say compared to a teacher. i guess for the money, it isn't worth it to enter progaming, since it's one in so few that actually get to the top.
|
Well, none of the progamers really have to pay for rent or food anymore now that every team is sponsored. And it's not like they need to spend much money on consumables anyway, since they're practicing all day.
I'm surprised Savior's income is so low though.
|
Rock is making way to much money 
|
is that 600k per year, or over the period of the contract?

For those like me who don't recognize most of the progamers by name, I've added their handles to nullmind's data:

In all cases im pretty sure its the whole contract amount. So he makes 200k per year more accurately.
|
|
|
No wonder that Nada keeps being so motivated, with all that cash he get. It's just sick! Seriously, it's sick!
And free needs a huge raise. His PvZ is awesome, which isn't very common nowadays, I like him .
|
Does this mean if I payed city[fou] 30k a year he'd play me 1v1 constantly until i became amazing? If you are out there somewhere city... send me a resume
|
I like GoRush and all, but damn he's overpaid. Midas deserves his money.
A fun thing to note for most of the richer teams is that the more baller you are, the shittier you've been doing lately. I guess they pay them for their image now. I don't blame them though..I'd pay Reach 400k to just sit around my house ez.
|
Wow... sAviOr only 70k ?
He won vs so many good players, i was expecting at leat 200k for the 1st place kespa player.

Haha Midas wins a lot but he still doesnt take home top prize. I dont really think he is actually worth much more than GoRush: [ Maybe if he wins an MSL/OSL it would change
|
Savior is gettig payed ~1/3rd that Nada does.
I think once his contract is over he will be making much much more.

lol i like how were criticizing how much the sponsors pay the progamers I say, Nada deserves what hes getting, so does oov, kang min, but i think anytime deserves like maybe 10 grand more or so. Savior obviously better be getting a big raise, and xellos is overpaid due to lack of participation in the big scene.

you all have to pay attention to how long the contracts last.
if you break it down to what a player gets per year, the numbers equal out at least a bit.
i can just hope money doesn't ruin the transfer polocies as much as in european/worldwide soccer.
but many thanks for the information nullmind. I believe this has been discussed/mentioned a lot of times, but nobody had the facts to prove anything :D
besides, does anyone know about how much the gaming industry makes from the starcraft pro scene? or how much the teams get from televisioning rights and the like? that would also be interesting, mostly because that would make the player salaries better comparable to the oerall cash-flow.
