well since 8k per month works out to 96k per year its not really hard to imagine that huk made 9k per month which would bring him over the 100k line and thus a 6 figure salary. Because a 6 figure salary means that in a year you earn over 100k, not per month.


I realize that. What I'm saying is that Stephano is (most likely) the highest paid player on EG right now, and therefore HuK isn't making six figures.


not anymore but when he signed yes he was. HuK signed a new contract this year and probably took a serious pay cut since hes basically not done anything of note since signing with EG.

I remember incontrol saying on a show that "huk had come to terms with his new EG contract" he probably meant to say "HuK has come to terms for his new EG contract" but the Freudian slip found its way in and his tone of voice suggested that HuK was taking a deal he probably wouldn't have last year ;p
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

tahts a leap big enough to cross the atlantic

if anyone is making the biggest salary its IdrA since he has the biggest fan following (probably) of any pro, aside from this month has always had the msot popular stream (or a very very close second) was the only foreiner still palying to survive kespa and has the second best GSL results for any foreigner

just looking at who they can make the most money out of its definently IdrA, even his kingston commercials is everyones favourite

Do you mean that it should be "EG recruits Stephano" instead?

by "barely" i assume you mean "havent"

it should be "stephano rumoured to play in TAC (date inserted here) for EG" or something like that since they cant say "rumoured to join EG" since there have been threads called that already, cant say they have since theres no official announcement yet and at this point its jsut everyone assuming any foreigner thats good and has a contract expiring is about to join EG

I was thinking the same thing. If it hasn't been officially announced then the title should be like the reddit title thread "Sources: Stephano signs with EG" or something similar. The current title makes it sound like EG already announced it (which everyone is basically waiting to happen b/c we already assumed stephano to EG a long time ago)

Stephano with 96k/year. Huk with 6 figure salary. Idra with 7 figure salary. Incontrol with 6 figure salary. Even EG house's dogs get 5 figure salary.

EG sure is RICH. Even thought they've chosen Arizona desert, the cheapest property market in the country, as their home.

Keep a secret poorly; secret gets out, and people get to know. Although I don't think EG really ever tried to hide it, and I think it's pretty obvious that this has been in the works ever since Stephano stayed at the EG lair before an MLG a while ago. At the very least that's what everyone I ever talked with just assumed.


That's definitely a fair statement however I still think it's pretty disrespectful for people to make a brand new thread titled EG SIGNS STEPHANO.. just based off a link from efsiworld "sources". There was already a thread where people were speculating that he was joining based on him being at the EG lair etc. etc. I wonder if the reaction from people woulda been the same if it was Teamliquid who were signing a new player and people started making all these posts with grandoise titles.

Guess people just love to hate on EG.

IdrA brings there sponsors money

Stephano throws up and gets put in a drunk tank

whos the better investment?
no matter how you look at it sponsors would prefer to give IdrA money over stephano

Kinda sad for him that he is joining EG.
Every good foreigner (Huk and ThorZaIN) left their team and now they are just PR representatives.
He is so talented that he will still win but not as much as when he was in M.


lmao enough with this "EG" leading to players becoming bad. EG has nothign to do with the players falling off its the players own fault. If anything it would be that players may lose motivation when they've achieved what they wanted and getting a contract to bring in income for the year. Stephano has already proven that no money can quench his thirst or he would've stopped playing this year after breaking 100k in prize winnings and going back to school. No fear I have belief that stephano will continue his domination regardless of the team and we shall see him break the 250k mark in salary/prize money as the first foreigner to do so ^^

They have to do because of the high salary lol.
They have the same salary no matter their results as long as they provide good PR, stream and stuff, therefore they fon't have to push themselves as hard as in other teams.
It probably won't happen to Stephano because he will win no matter what, but still.

There is no need to stink up the thread with your sour cheese.
