Carmac said it well, that when you see players leaving or quitting a team, 99% of the time it is a monetary issue. This isent very drama filled or interesting but is the reality. So most likely it is a issue about money

Wish Naniwa the best, he is one of the very few foreigners who has taken the battle to Korea and is trying to establish himself there, whereas many others havent.



couldn't be more wrong lololol

look at our sponsors.. who of those is a fgc sponsor... hmm interesting eh. but yeah, there are hundreds of idras and incontrols lololol


So thats how you have so many posts.......... oh god oh god

100% im sure that he is talking about dignitas near the end. Plus he only had good things to say about the team and ODEE so it makes me think that they are the only team he wants to join.

Just quoting this comment again now that Dignitas seems like a more likely option. Makes it seem incredibly likely.

But isn't that tournament winnings? Surely the player doesn't get all of it, and don't they usually have a salary as well?

oh , no we dont know what they make, because neither teams nor players want to release data. But it is suspected that EG pays high 4 diggits salaries.

Edit: per month.
But as I said, no one really knows.
Most average pro players will make enough for a living and not more.

lol esports isn't made of money. people are lucky if they even get $100 compensation a month from teams. players on most teams don't even get paid regularly.

Real Talk with Naniwa. Guess it will give you your answer.


Good that he admitted that some of the fault was his about being kicked out of the ESL league and off of MyM.

If Diginitas can offer the money, then Naniwa would probably go back there as he seemed to have a good relationship with them.

He's very money oriented, which isn't wrong per say, but it does come across as being too greedy.


Being an adult/having to pay the rent does that to you . Did you hear the part where he said he would stay on the team for half the money? How many people with normal day jobs do you know that stay on their job when they can earn 3 times as much somewhere else doing exactly the same thing?


Very good post. Heck, most people would change employer even if it was just a 10-20% increase in salary. Also, in many other sports, teams buy and sell players all the time and players want as much salary as possible even if they have already made enough money to not ever have to work again. Why would you expect progamers to not care about money when it's one of the most important things in our society?

How do you expect progamers to be able to play fulltime if they didn't get a salary enough to pay their bills and food etc?

Rofl, you do realize that top bw players have been getting payed 6 figures for many years now? And top foreigners are rumored to make the same.

Who's delusional?

And yes, it's a very small minority that make those sums.

Maybe only one, maybe more. We dont know. Atleast major teams dont pay their top players a couple of hundred bucks a month...
