NS made a shocking statement about the salaries of the top Dota 2 esports players

Last updated:  Dota NS

Streamers earn significantly more money than esports players. The only exceptions are victories with enormous prizes, such as Riyadh Masters.

Former esports player and streamer Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov made this statement during a Twitch stream.

"Someone writes: 'Let's say a popular streamer earns 100,000 a month, and a professional player - 500,000. But the streamer can sit back, do whatever he wants.' A streamer earns 100,000... Does he earn 100,000 in a second? What the [heck] are you talking about? In principle, top streamers earn more than professional players, significantly more.

Well, except for victories in tournaments like Riyadh Masters or TI with a prize pool of 40 million dollars, and so on. But if, for example, in some strong team where there is a good salary but not many victories, like Shopify Rebellion, then, of course, streamers earn much more"

It's worth noting that NS admitted to the level of his income, revealing that he earns millions from his streams.
