In all industries, not only eSports or League of Legends, the recruitment requires some “unwritten” rules related to sensitive information of both businesses and candidates. In particular, one of them cannot help but mention the issue of the salary and welfare of the players. Although the work in the eyes of many people is just “eating, sleeping, playing games”, the players must also trade a lot of things to achieve success. Therefore, although it has never been public, but according to the side information, the Esports or LoL players in particular have a very desirable income and they are proportional to reputation and talent.
The salary of the players is almost always unknown or only appears in rumors
Moreover, for League of Legends, the transfer market does not always have talented names, the competitive personnel competition is strict and objective and subjective reasons also forced teams not to reveal the income level of the players. However, recently, the Flash team has become a rare exception not only in eSports or League of Legends but also in the working environment: publicly all the salaries of the players in the team.
Team Flash publicly always salary for the players in their recruitment posts
Accordingly, the salary of TF is divided into 4 levels, and the lowest is the C level with 8 million VND/month and the highest is the S level with 50 million VND/month. In addition, joining TF can also enjoy many other benefits besides expertise, such as accommodation, participating in professional arenas, organized training environment and also built images and brands.
TF's recruitment posts include benefits and salaries that are very interesting if not “shocking”
However, TF's actions made the League of Legends community talk. This team is probably the first in the history of Vietnamese League in particular and eSports on the S -shaped land in general to publicize the salary of the players. Even for international areas, this factor is not mentioned publicly. As when Sofm played at LPL, all information surrounding his income also came from rumors. Or the information about Levi's salary, Kiaya is always a mystery.
There are opinions that express confusion when the players have a low salary but still have the intention to make money in a negative way.
In addition, it can be seen that the salary of Tier S is very high. For some other industries, only in Leader or higher management level can earn 50 million/month. Particularly a number of industries such as IT or graphic design, this salary only appears if you receive many work projects at once or have skilled to reach the senior level. Meanwhile, the salary for the Tier C player (lowest) is also equal to many normal office workers.
Compared, the salary of the players is from the average of the office staff upwards
Besides, many people also feel extremely confusing when the income of the players is not too low but still negative. As most recently, the largest scoring arrangement in the history of League of Legends has caused 25 characters to be banned from 8 months to permanently. Worth mentioning, there are many names in the potential form or young players.
TF also has the number of members banned from playing high when participating in 4 people
The income of the players is not too low. But perhaps, when “dip indigo” is really hard to stop. Meanwhile, with this information disclosure, perhaps TF wants those who intend to become a professional player will have a more complete view before embarking on the challenging Esports path.
