It's a great salary for every country! In Portugal minimal wage is less then 500€ so he arguably will make more then 10 people working full time in their jobs, while having almost no living costs and grabbing almost the same in prize winnings! It's great for a young guy like him.. i wish i won half of what he "does"  | ||

But hey, free money for everyone. I hope the salary is true, Stephano is such a good player, and he deserves it. But I will express the same opinion here that I did in the ESFI Skype room: Hiding the source is silly. EG knows everyone who has knowledge of the $8,000 figure. Likely only EG management, Stephano, and lawyers who wrote up the contract.
How many parties does that leave? I bet if the source was revealed, it wouldn't be 2 steps away from Stephano himself. And EG probably figured that out in under 5 minutes. Hiding the source doesn't actually prevent anyone from being punished, it just means the article doesn't look as real. | ||

Yeah, he's making 5 times more than I am and he plays a video game. Not enough in the real world? Hahahaha. 8k a month places you firmly in the middle class group. | ||

He doesn't have a family to take care of or something. 8k/month with no dependents is easily upper-middle class territory. | ||

It encompasses everyone from just above poor people to just below the super rich. On September 09 2012 02:19 ondik wrote: Why don't people believe the 8k? I actually thought it would be more (10-12k) since Huk's contract was supposedly 6 figures and Stephano is much more dominating than Huk was when he was signed. There was never a single reliable source for Huk's salary. That was just people talking on the internet. If anything this should prove it's much lower. | ||

No one said it was a yearly contract. They might as well have bought him off for 18-24 months. | ||
