Dan “apEX” Madesclaire, a player for Team Vitality in Counter-Strike 2, has announced the financial terms under which he would consider moving to Team Falcons. He stated his condition during a live stream with streamer Buster.
“I would agree if I were paid $1,500,000 per year,” apEX declared.
Earlier, Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev shared his thoughts on salaries in the Counter-Strike scene. He speculated, “I think someone like NiKo earns around $50,000. I believe s1mple`s salary at his peak was definitely not less than that.”
