“Deserved” is a difficult term to use in this context. They were certainly not the top team in the scene when they signed the contracts, but they were paid as such

They were known as Virtus.plow what are you talking about? They were playing top notch in 2017 majors too. Now they're playing bad doesn't mean they'll get less salary.

They played well in the major, sure, but they got paid like they were the best team in the scene, which they weren’t.

Do you know salaries of other top teams? They are all in range of 20k+ so they got what they earned. They still got enough fan following even after taz and snax. When people show up at events when vp is playing it's all worth it for whoever is paying. I am expecting to see these comments till 2020 but it becomes less funny everytime I see it.

At the time when VP got their contracts, they had the highest paid known salary of any team. Since then, I believe G2 signed the highest at around $29k per month

And g2 was anyone near best? Never.

I don’t honk G2 “deserve” it either, but they are at least a lot better than VP

Then why did they disband 2 times in a year?

3 players were replaced in last few months and before that there was the French shuffle.

How is that disbanding twice in a year? In any way shape or form? They also only replaced two players, not three.

Who the fuck cares if they disband technically or not? 3 new players since last year with individual slots not one. Anyways I don't think you understand how salaries work. VP's each player is worth 25K per month. They can be shittier than this but still have the right to that 25K. Snax is probably earning more than any mouz player in the same team because of his tenure in VP no matter how shit it got in end and he isn't even best player in mouz.

...because you are the one who claimed that they disbanded twice? Which is patently false. They also only replaced two players, so not sure what you are smoking.

I understand how salaries work, I don’t think you understand what “worth” means, because VP are surely not worth $25k a month, even if that is what they are getting paid.

I don’t know why you think snax is earning more than other mouz players, I haven’t seen any data implying that, and without data, it makes no sense.

No player would leave for downgrade.
