Article quoting an interview with Nazgul (which is unreleased, I'm looking forward to that as well).

They seem to have insane salaries.
Add sick price money like TI to that... I really hope those kids don't get too screwed up, having that kind of money at that age.

I wouldn't have trusted 22 year old me with a couple of million back then
Hopefully most of them know they won't have this income stream forever, and if they aren't careful they will have no proper job in 4-5 years. If they waste money on stupid stuff now, a lot of them might get themselves into a whole bunch of trouble later on.

Please Viktor... make sure to talk some sense into everyone, in case they are about to buy a Ferrari!!!

I was kinda surprised that TL takes a cut, I know some orgs don't and I figured TL was one of them. I think since players have tremendous leverage in Dota, the deal was still fair.

I think it would be sth like 16% x 5 players + 7% Heen + 7% manager + 6% organization.

That or 15 x 5 + 8 + 8 + 9.

Still very delighted that Liquid won TI! Wish we get an update and interviews with the players soon since the win probably sunk in by now.

Game 1, Newbee tried to bait Liquid into picking KOTL so they can dominate early game and defend mid game with nyx and bloodseeker but instead Liquid went for the NP pick instead. Surely that threw Newbee off completely and set the tone for the whole series.

I can't decide which player jersey to purchase since they all perform so well this tournament.

Typically if the players get a salary then the org takes a cut of winning, but if they dont get any salary then the team doesn't take a cut.

I think thats the ancient way of doing stuff, like in 2011. I dont think thats the modern model.

The players receive salaries ranging between $100k and $200k (according to Nazgul's interview) - I'm quite certain they spoke about this when signing a contract and were all very happy with the deal.

Problems just start when a team (e.g. Secret) is starting to take cuts without even telling the players.
