I bet he earns more nowadays inside his bunker.
By the way, what happened to Kal? Last I heard he had problems with his jaw, a shame and pity if because of that he retired.

Aren't top streamers nowadays earning more than this in total? Or is this report really just showing salary only for being employed by a pro team?

I had read somewhere, that nowadays, some of these top guys are earning 10-15k USD a month in just donations + whatever tournament wins + whatever sponsored matches they often do.

They probably do earn more as streamers, however what Kespa shared is just their base salary. You have to count the tournament winnings on top, which in case of some players like Flash has to have been quiet a lot. There were also a lot of proleague incentives for winning X amount of games etc.

Also RIP Jangbi. My favorite toss of all time.
