Former professional Counter-Strike player Mikail “Maikelele” Bill has provided insights into the current earnings of esports athletes in CS2. According to his statement, top-tier players are potentially earning between $50,000 and $95,000 per month. Bill shared this information on his personal X account.
When I joined Ninjas in Pyjamas in 2014, my monthly salary was 12,000 Swedish Krona (around $1,200). We were at the top of the HLTV rankings back then.
Today, players receive 500,000-950,000 Swedish Krona ($50,000-$95,000) per month. What do I need to do to become 16-17 again…
