The CEO of Indian esports organisation Global Esports, Rushindra Sinha, has provided some fairly intriguing insight into the competitive landscape for the game.
Sinatraa, a professional player, gained notoriety earlier this week when Gods Reign CEO Rohith KR offered him an open contract worth $144,000 to play for his team on Twitter. In response to the contract proposal, Sinha had mentioned that Sinatraa had accepted a deal with a higher value when she was a professional Overwatch player at the age of 17.
After then, Sinha revealed specifics regarding the current pay that the top European and North American Valor players receive. The CEO of Global Esports claimed in a recent tweet that Tier 1 players, or the best players from the NA scene, may make anywhere between $35,000 and $40,000 per month That would amount to an annual salary range of $420,000 – $480,000.
The finest players from Europe can earn a maximum monthly payment of $25,000, which equates to a $300,000 yearly income, according to Sinha. As the CEO of global esports said, organisations pay these players enormous salaries for both their in-game prowess and their extensive social media followings. These athletes have a sizable fan base, which indirectly raises the prestige and repute of an organisation.
Like Sinha said, lower tier professionals might not be making the same money because these rates are solely for the elite. Instead, Sinha asserted that an average professional athlete from these locations might make between $10,000 and $12,000 per month, which is comparable to the offer Rohith KR madeSinatraa to play for Gods Reign in India.
