i actually kinda disagree; while of course the orgs should pursue sustainability instead of blind spending, it is also totally normal for all workers to demand a high salary for their work. especially after the players literally won the biggest international trophy in valorant. i would rather see the executives take a pay cut over the players any day of the week, even though i know that that's not going to happen.

the least that eg could do is have no buyouts for their players if they decide to play elsewhere.

also we have no idea what the players are getting paid in apac. i would imagine that salaries for the singaporean teams at least would be on par with what players are earning in emea. im not even talking about sscary, who is probably the highest paid player in the world right now.

he means them "not respecting" the org in a different context to what you interpreted it as.

he's just saying that eg is a dogshit org, so the players understandably don't want to take a paycut and remain at an org that doesn't care about them.

i think they just have financial investors and venture capitalists pumping them full of cash. i saw a report that said that they got a $50 million investment a couple years ago.

Where do they get their money from? Is their owner like a billionaire or something?
