In recent days, information has been circulating online that Evil Geniuses have allowed their players to consider external offers. If they wish to stay, their salary will be substantially reduced compared to the current level. This news was shared by journalist Max Katz on his Twitter page.

This is not the first report of a serious reduction in Evil Geniuses' expenditure on Valorant that has emerged since their victory at Valorant Champions 2023. Earlier, the "Evil Geniuses" dropped their reserve lineup, retaining only one player under contract.
Now there is information that the players of the main lineup were offered new contracts. In these contracts, salaries have been halved, but the percentages from the sale of in-game skins have increased. This was reported by journalist Richard Lewis on his Twitter page.

What are the players' salaries?
Another journalist, this time George Geddes, shared information about the salary level of the Evil Geniuses team players. However, it is important to note that this is only his assumption and speculation, as he does not have access to their contracts. His figures were already reacted to by Max "Demon1" Mazanov with a comment: “I wish to earn even something close to 25 thousand.”
prev. eg tweet was wrong they all earned around 25k on the main roster and then around 4.5k on the sub roster, game changers team was on around 7k
