do we think Derke picked VIT or NRG didnt want to pay buyout?
I think he was about to go to nrg but after he saw less come to vit he changed his mind who know’s tho
I’m not completely sure about that tbh. Vitality has a shit tone of money, it’s a different matter if they wanna spend it all on Derke but it ain’t NRG paying millions to perkz for example
vitality is rich i agree. But Nrg payroll is absolutely higher stll.
This was Derke choosing to stay for moderately less money because its his home continent and he gets a superteam.
And FNC the bastards can piss off now. Tryna sell him off like G2 did Perkz back in the day.
Yeah I mean I don’t want it to happen cause it’s Vitality but EMEA having a superteam like that of players I actually like too could be very exciting man
are they though? They had to lose a major winning coach and support player because they couldn't afford a pay rise in CS, not sure that they are rich rich
but vitality also had to resort to signing two free players ( or one with a low buy) to change anyone. And they might look into selling one of their players to buy a star, so they aren't in a huge plus.
Also, just curious, what's the average monthly salary in val?
I know that buyouts are insanely different, wtih cs setting 600k for someone like m0nesy even before his pro debut, and I have heard tier 2 players have like 80k and it is considered a lot
Eu players make around 5k per month with few exceptions of 10k per month in val. In NA its probably 2x that, from what i remember from sliggy's stream where he talked about it
They probably chose to, but if they really want they have money to sign anyone. Rn they’re paying a buyout for Derke for example that ain’t cheap
hot take but i think fns wanted mada more than derke
after the ardiis fiasco you can tell from the podcast that fns has doubts about an emea player joining his team
If you ever hear fns speak about derke you would think otherwise. He practically thinks he is the best player in the world
its irrelevant though. i know fns has derke in high regard but from what fns has been saying he doesn't want to take the risk of signing an emea player because its unknown how the player will be in new circumstances
then why were they negotiating with him for sooo long? They lost the race that is the reality. now they picked their alternative.
I’m like 90% sure Derke wanted VIT and FNC wanted NRG and that is why the deal couldn’t go through. Now NRG has given up and found another good option so FNC has lost all of their leverage
