![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3YombOE.jpg) As stated above, Kespa revealed the average salary for progamers in order to correct the misleading report from Korea Creative Content Agency. This excludes prizes, winning incentives and streaming incomes; considering this, the actual average income of SC2 progamers will be about $50K for a year. SC2(Jinair, SKT, KT, Samsung, CJ) players: 25 players Average incomes for 2016: $45.88K Players who get more than $100K: 0 | ||

I assume there's some massive wage disparity between stars and scrubs. $300 per month, at most.

Great transparency, KeSPA... No. If it is 25, it includes everyone in those 5 teams. | ||

The sample size really hurts though... that number drops in half at least if they included ALL player's salaries. | ||

The sample size really hurts though... that number drops in half at least if they included ALL player's salaries. But they also get Housing, living, travel, and any prize money they win. So while the sample size may be off, the amount of value they're getting is as well. | ||
