Honest question: Do you think that 8000 is too high or too low?

I believe it's possible since in the golden age of war3 korean mercs tod/grubby and a few euro pros were paid over 5000€

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"

8k/month pretty much makes you rich. seriously... where do all the millionaires in this forum come from? what kind of expenses do you have that makes you feel like 8k can't cover them?

Don't forget that he gets free housing, food, etc in the EG house.

Well the thing is no one in esports opens up about their salary, because its not alot. The supposedly 8000 a month isn't from eg but someone else. Why not just clarify if that is the case?

And if so? Even 6k or 5k would be a really nice chunk of money. Hell, even 4k.

They're not named the Overly-Nice Geniuses for a reason. 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.
  • If EG management leaked the info, they'd just release it as public info. There's no real benefit to pretending it's a secret.
  • If the lawyers leaked the info, they'd be in a whole world of trouble effecting all of their relationships with current and future clients.

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.

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

Would be pretty sad if the best foreigner wasn't paid more than low / middle class jobs.

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.

Middle class is a very weird term in the US. It encompasses everyone from just above poor people to just below the super rich.

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.

Also, it was said Huk's contract is 6 figure. No one said it was a yearly contract. They might as well have bought him off for 18-24 months.
