I don't know whether it is against the rules or something to post this here, so apologies in advance if it is so, but the following is quite a big rumour:
http://www.team-aaa.com/news-22024-0-1-stephano_chez_eg_pour_10_000_par_mois.html
Basically, Rakaka, a Swedish eSport website, have reported that EG are looking to sign Stephano for a $10,000 a month contract. More interestingly, the article also says that a Millenium manager stated on Stream, that currently he earns €1,400 a month from Millenium.

If this is true, this could be very troublesome for the Mill-TSL partnership, if TSL intended to use Stephano for GSTL at all that is.
|
allready been a thread which was closed because Rekaka never showed any proof.
|
i agree with the part that their rumours are usually true. i hope this happends because i feel stephano can do better then millenium.
|
The monetary value of salaries in eSports is so overhyped without any knowledge it baffles me.
|
|
Ouch....10.000bucks is quite awesome...
well Stephano has to do what's best for him, otherwise he'd quit Sc2 anyways...
he deserves a lot for his plays...but i don't know how much these players earn from their teams...
hope it's not true...everyone that signs in EG suffers from badluck... =/
|
He's just staying at the EG lair before the Red Bull LAN, nothing more...

That's a no-brainer if the numbers are true. A 19 year old guy getting a 6 figure salary in addition to bonus from prizemoney and stream revenue, as well as getting housing provided and flights around the world. A 300% raise by switching.
But of course, this is assuming if the numbers are accurate and since nothing is confirmed, can't say anything definitive yet. Interesting to think about though...

I'd love to see stephano on a bigger team, and potentially competing more in korea (GSTL anyone?!), regardless of money.. The kid is a beast and i just want to see him play.
|
EG should be every person who plays Starcraft. Then they'll never lose!
|
$10,000 a month doesn't seem right at all. That's extremely high. Even though he is the best foreigner, that kind of Salary seems double or more than anyone would likely get.

Doesn't mean there's no bigger teams, which is what he's saying. A bigger team.

hope EG dont go overboard if this is true. soon esport will crumble if the cost is too heavy to bear.
|
That is a lot of money. If the rumor of $10,000/month is true I would expect him to be joining EG.
|
Well, since EG cares about names, and Stephano cares about money, I guess it's a good fit... As for the salary, it is high, but it's definitely not indecent.
|
Millenium just signed a contract with TSL for GSTL, don't see that happening. If so, it's really sad from stephano because TSL almost stated that it's more a Stephano-TSL contract...

With a salary like that, one wouldn't give a shit about luck (or Starcraft, for that matter). It's like winning a major event every month.

EG just signed Thorzain, can't imagine they'd be looking to pick up another player again already. I imagine there'd be another round of people yelling Yankees at them and that they can't breed talent they always hire whoever is hot at the moment. Not something their image needs. I think right now they need to work on the current players they have and start showing results so management doesn't seem incompetent at managing players.
