Let's play a game
It doesn't take one to be a genius to know that Sentinels spending is probably up there with few of the most spending orgs in valorant. So let's make some assumptions to see where they can balance their book a little. OpTic Hecz said that the average salary in VCT is 30k a month per player. He might have exaggerated but still it might be around that figure.
Zekken: Wasn't a big name when he joined SEN but he still was regarded as one of the biggest prospect and already had the opportunity to show his talent at intl. events. Also, syyko was the head coach at that time who probably wanted zekken at all costs. So I am assuming at least 20k.
TenZ: The most popular pro by far and carries the SEN marketing and social interactions. But he had a disappointing year prior and had to renegotiate his contract. Since the rumors were that SEN were thinking about other options if they couldn't come to an agreement, I think TenZ took a pay cut at the end. Still he's the big dawg so assuming 25k .
Sacy & pANcada: These 2 are the trickiest to guess since we have no idea how the salaries are like in top BR teams. But LOUD is a pretty big org in BR and the core of sacy and saadhak left VK to make a heavyweight roster with them. So, I think they were on good contracts already but SEN offered even better, also they had just won the world champs. My assumption is that they are the highest earners on SEN. I am assuming 30k each.
With C9 reportedly going with minimum salaries for their players(5k/month for each player) and 100T also downsizing massively, it's looking like all the NA teams will follow the trend. If you are the valorant manager for SEN, how do you reduce their expense and keep this team still competitive and socially relevant so that their popularity doesn't falter? Let's say you have to reduce 50k in player salaries. What changes would you make?
