1) makes it easier for players to get what they truly deserve through competition with public info. 2) generates more news. results and interviews are fun but one of the best things about sports, at least for me, is what happens off field. for those who think this may lead to poaching. I think this is a fair game if the poached team gets a chance to negotiate to either match the offer+. Also poaching imo can be prevented by contracts. | ||

HuK is not as good as say, Creator, but I would bet a hefty sum that HuK doubles or even better his salary based on his teams financial status. Incontrol is quite a low ranking pro player, and there is NO DOUBT in my mind he makes a butt tonne more than Nerchio. Arbitrary examples, but you get the point how the money is just not floating around for people to even demand pay rises. | ||

If a team wants to reveal salaries that's fine. If not, it's their decision. | ||

Should they be revealed? This will be up to the individual team and player. The public should have 0 say in the matter. Will it be positive? I think it'll be fairly ok and it'll be a real eye opener as to how little money is involved in the industry. | ||

Very relevant article to read here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=126075 which is on korean progaming and I think it is relevant if any teams have sponsors/are under a larger corporation name (where a company "owns" a team and aren't just giving some money, like how Slayers retains the Slayers name but has sponsorship from idk razer or whatever). Basically, article talked about how B teamers sometimes don't even make minimum wage despite practice hours being enforced pretty much like labor (but don't have labor contracts and have civil contracts or something). It's kind of a weird situation though, but I agree with the sentiment that teams with teamhouses that enforce things like a law should be paying minimum wage salaries to contracted players (for example, there's some fluff in sc2 scene about "contracts" teams have, like TSL or Slayers or whatever). Also would be relevant for things like various dota teams that are more "full-time" with team houses (chinese dota teams, na'vi dota team), LoL teams, a couple counterstrike teams, etc. However they probably all make minimum wage and aren't like starcraft team houses where there are a ton of B teamers; a dota team wouldn't have 20 trainees. edit- I know it's a bit of a tangent, but I do think some teams should be pressured to be more legally legitimate with how salaries (or "wages") and earnings are payed out. Because a lot of esports teams probably don't actually have that (even though 99% of the time it's not a problem, but if a problem occurred players would get screwed over). | ||

Now, that's not to say that players or managers don't talk to each other, as we've seen tons of players always trying to get to the greener grass of the bigger and more mainstream teams. The other reason that this information isn't readily available is that the average is abysmal to publicize. That, and the variance in what some are paid compared to others would completely overshadow and distract from a lot of other issues within the scene. All told, I'm still for the release of financial details regarding teams and players, and it's a solid step forward to a much more professional atmosphere in our hobby. | ||

I'm closing this because you're asking something that makes no sense. Like "Should ice cream be free?" | ||
