The Swedish organization did not pay a penny for the contracts of The Prodigies Sweden, as the aim of The Prodigies is to grow young talents and give them a chance on the big stage. Here is a comment from Jerome 'jEROME' Cupez, CEO of The Prodigies:

Proud of our Swedish Prodigies. It was an incredible journey to support such promising players & I'm really glad that most of them have joined a team. It's the exact mission of The Prodigies. I'm really proud of its success in Sweden. Their future is bright.
