The King, the GOAT, the Phenom, the Champion. Those are a few words that come to mind when describing Joona. ENCE has had the pleasure of sharing seven phenomenal years with one of the world's most skilled and successful esports players. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and continuing success in the ranks of his new team. Link: https://ence.gg/article/farewell-serral

 Would also keep to the theme of the KaiZi vs. DPG rivalry if one has Reynor and the other Serral. | ||

And if Serral can play in the coming WTL playoff for DPG, then its OVER. | ||

Obviously he's Serral so he can prbly take his pick of practice partners but it will be interesting to see how he does if the team who snagged him is more SC2 centered. We can only hope that he just had so much fun in the WTL 2v2 tourney that he wanted to play a full season and try his hand at GSL to boot. Can't wait to see where he ends up! Massive sign for any team. | ||

Serral and herO, and another solid player will give DPG more change to win. And if Serral can play in the coming WTL playoff for DPG, then its OVER. And that's entirely possible, WTL gave teams a grace period until Feb 6th to register new players to compensate for the delay. | ||

Serral was probably very expensive though, who knows how much money is left (Rotti is a big Bunny fan...) | ||

Hopefully this does lead to Serral in playing in WTL, lots of good storylines there. | ||

Just curious how much a top SC2 pro commands these days. More than you think is the correct answer.

Nowadays I don't think any player is making that amount of money. Teams will mostly cover traveling expanses and sponsor the gear and give a lower salary (some hundreds to small 4 figure salaries for the top top pros). But that is just speculation. More than you think is the correct answer. Again. | ||

Thanks for your answer, it feels like you've said too much or not enough Personally, I can't see six figures as viable economically relative to number of eyeballs (in fact it'd be demotivational w.r.t. smaller tournaments prize pools, teams want hungry players). So if it's more than 4 figures it has to be 5, probably low 5 I think the top 8 players deserve every bit of that and more. They are all prodigies and also seasoned veterans with a decade of experience, grind, and passion for the game ! | ||

To the poster above, there was insight on ComebackTV that TL initially asked for 1000€ per day of filming for the documentary on Clem, so they are probably paying him a comfortable salary! Obviously it depends on the teams, but I would expect the ones with other more profitable businesses than just sc2 or even games to pay well (ie. TL with all the LoL hype and other games, Shopify Rebellion with Shopify, Ence with the CS:GO fans, etc.) | ||

Would also be interesting if it's like other sports where salary is part base, part bonus | ||

Sometime I feel like the whole industry is living off the marketing budget of office chairs companies. | ||
