Assuming he stays for a year and the salary stays the same, $96k per year sounds pretty good. I would love to have that kind of salary right out of high school

And think of those possible Kingston commercials with Stephano. Kingston must be so happy to have this character on board.

He's not been to college yet I don't think. The kid's only 19.

It is by far the team with the best foreigners.
But for best foreign team, Liquid still has Taeja and Hero which is especially scary in an all-kill format.
Fnatic and FXO are korean-based now, but could be counted as foreign teams as well.

FXOBoss said when KesPA announced the move that they identified themselves as a Korean team with foreigners since they had to be a korean team to participate in the KeSPA tournys

plus pretty sure there like 95% korean

So EG successfully destroyed the foreign scene. Don't know whats better. Getting $8k a month and suck like hell or getting $4k and have winning tournaments.

Am I the only one who thinks 100k salary is low? For a video game that is pretty solid I guess, hope he doesn't perform worse after joining like most of the other players seemed to have done.

100k + streaming profit + winnings = low?

He's likely to pull 200k+ a year, all while having little to no expenses. The average 9-5 worker barely makes 40k/yr.

Yep, pretty sure you're the only one that thinks that.

Grats to Ilyes, that's a pretty sick salary =D

highly skilled people are getting rewarded for their results and talent.

we should celebrate the fact that stephano is getting this kind of salary!

though i kind of have to agree. it is a little boring when all the good cards are held in one hand.

wtf lol. The average salary people make (at least in the US) is like 40-45k. How you think that is low is beyond me. You either are rich and have no idea what's high or not or idk xD.
When I think of something else, something will go here

100k... pah, moon managed that like 4 years ago =D

but this offer is just too good to pass up, so stephano fighting!


Moon got 16k a month but well he is korean, Nada and co made/make even more... but for a foreigner that should be the record (maybe Grubby came close in the past?).
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Think sAviOr made the most ever. Or maybe Flash or the Dong. Those were the highest bw ones at least.

Players should have some selfrespect and stop chasing high salaries. The feeling of winning a big tournament is better than fucking $8k a month.
