Thats the thing, the male scene and the female scene both do not generate any money, they both run at a net negative with brand deals (youtube) and sponsors (twitch) being the most profitable areas. Since they both run at a negative competitively speaking and only make a profit through content, whats the point in having esports talent at all and not just hiring streamers? Neither of us really understand the metrics and what makes money so its pretty funny that we are discussing this. My point was that for an org who has a female team, to pay the female team less than the mens team, even though the whole point of having a female team is to try and make esports more equal for all genders, is ironic, which it is. Realistically, none of the players should be paid a salary if we are talking about profit, and the org should drop all the competitive players and pick up streamers like xqc, but the whole point of it is that it's an investment. So why not invest equally in both sides if the point is that theyre going to be equal in the future?

Yes they might make money, but they aren't profitable in the slightest. In 2020 TSM was the only org that was profitable, and that was due to the FTX partnership, and we all know how good crypto is doing nowadays. What you need to realise is that for every 1 team member that is paid a salary there is probably 1-2 staff members also being paid a salary, the big orgs have their own facilities, and many more operational costs. The idea is that the revenue may be much lower than the costs right now, but the whole idea is that this is a market that is going to develop exponentially.
All player wages are super inflated as none of them bring in the same value as what they are being paid, thats just a fact. I'm not going to discuss the profitability of esports orgs as I don't run an org, or understand everything that goes into it, and neither does anyone, all I wanted to say was that it would be ironic if they weren't paid the same even though they are preaching for equality and supporting women.
Okay well, I'm not gonna discuss the numbers cause I don't know em, but even if that was the case that doesn't change the fact that one makes more money than the other. Would you rather lose 20 bucks a month or 10? If you couldn't afford to lose 30? Would you rather get rid of who makes you lose 20 or who makes you lose 10?
you are just wrong. the gaming scene is profitable because of a large audience which is predominantly male. the male scene generates more money and thus male players get paid more in general. orgs are having female teams to invest into a potentially developing scene.
orgs want to make money, gain popularity thats why they are doing anything. its not a charity, they are not government agencies which will want to make equality. and btw here equality has no meaning. the existence of gamechangers is inequality.
