According to certain information, the salaries of professional players in CS:GO have decreased by around 30-40%
According to a tweet by former Astralis player Lucas "Bubzkji" Andersen, salaries of CS:GO teams have reportedly decreased by an average of 30-40% from their peak levels. Andersen attributes this decline to the challenging financial situation of organizations, which are striving to optimize their expenses.
Andersen suggests that Valve should take steps to support these organizations. He points out that clubs earn less from sticker sales compared to players and Valve themselves, hence the need for a support program tailored for organizations.
One example of a support program for esports organizations is Riot Games. Partnered teams receive annual payments from the company, along with additional bonuses based on their involvement in developing the professional scene of the discipline. This allows organizations to receive financial backing and encourages their active participation in the growth of esports. With such a program in place, teams can invest in training, equipment upgrades, and attracting talented players, ultimately raising the level of competition and enhancing the appeal of the discipline to viewers and sponsors.
