PGL spent $850,000 on talent fees

Counter-Strike commentator Jason moses O'Toole shocked the community with his announcement in the latest episode of Talking Counter. He claims that PGL, the organizer of the recent RMR tournaments and the Major, spent a staggering $850,000 on talent fees alone.

Moses, an experienced commentator who has worked at more than 13 majors, noted a significant difference between the stated amount and the standard fee for talent on non-English-language broadcasts.

While the exact distribution of these fees remains unknown, the news has fueled discussions about remunerating talent in eSports. Apparently, each talent received around $50,000 for these events, which is in stark contrast to the experience of commentators in other language groups.
