TenZ: Valorant players’ salaries are much lower than CS players

The profession of e-sports player looks very glamorous, with status and level close to that of athletes. They also have to go through years of accumulated training until their talent is discovered by the captain and they are qualified to represent the team. Otherwise, they are like unpolished bricks and stones, wasting away in the training camp, and it is unknown whether they can persist in their beliefs until they stand on the international stage and shine.

The path of a professional player is not easy, and the reality is cruel and ruthless. Before pursuing your dreams, you must first weigh your salary and expenses. Many people outside are very curious about their income, especially CSGO players. The game is so popular, the competition ecosystem is complete, and the influence is large, so the rewards should be higher than expected.

Recently, there is a former North American CSGO professional player and former Valorant star named TenZ. He used to be a CS player and played for the Cloud9 team. Later in 2019, he announced the disbandment of the lineup and chose to embark on the road of live streaming. He then joined the C9 team as a Valorant player. He tried to transfer to Sentinels and has now retired.

The experienced TenZ cleared everyone's doubts in the live broadcast room. He compared the remuneration of the two games and said that the salary of CS would be higher. In Valorant, no one's salary can be close to that of CS professional players. When talking about the influence of each other, CS is well-known in Europe, especially in the CIS countries, while Valorant has a global audience and most of the players are from Asia.
