Is Americas Broke

#1

Udarara

LOUD, MiBR, C9 - Cant afford top tier players
EG- Can barely afford to stay afloat in esports
100T, SEN - Questionable standing
NRG - They are just stupid not much else to say
G2, Furia, LEV- Good standing for now
KRU - GOAT Kun/Messi support

Seems like half the orgs are in pretty bad financial standing rn, not looking good.

SEN is probably not good standing looooool

and in all honesty I think C9 would be the most secure org here

yay was worth vastly more than the average player, he was worth more than the core 3 that NRG bought i think is what FNS said

NRG is the best org

We invest the most in the VALORANT scene

NRG is probably one of the ones that are doing the best in current esports, (financially not results wise) Only one ahead I would say is G2, but they are just making some questionable decisions recently.

the problem with americas is they OVERPAY like crazy, look at emea and some pacific teams the players barely get paid

its not that these teams are broke its the fact that the players are used to crazy amounts and won't do deals for any less than that
im pretty sure there was like a contract leak from eg when the whole team got blown up and they were making like 20k a month just from there contract or something

20K a month is pretty good IMO. That's 240K a year and you can stream and get brand deals to earn extra. They probably wanted more cause they won Champions, which is kinda fair too.

no that is what they were making before eg was gonna cut the contract
20k a month plus accomadtion and food plus prize pool plus health insurance it adds up and just isnt sustainable especially in the current ecomony of esports
personally 10k is a good amount i also heard somewhere that eu teams were making 5k a month on the high end

5k a month is only like 10k above minimum salary bro

they also get accomodation, food, health also they can stream

im saying it being on the high end is probably wrong, there's definitely players getting paid a lot more than that

There is no way EG of all orgs was paying that especially to those players

A while back I heard 25k a month being on the higher end for val but it was a while ago, maybe franchising gave a salary boost to some. But then that brings up the question of wtf C9 have been doing.

maybe now it is lower but esports used to also be a lot more

currently i think the players on eg and cloud9 are probably making like 10k a month which is still great
