doesnt make any sense.. any player would take a salary cut if it means they get to play in franchised league.. no one is in a position to be demanding salaries when there are so little spots and so much talent
JJfriends [#2]But living on minimum wage sucks, u could just like do another job and stream on the side for decent money.
its not minimum wage.. 5.5k per month is the league minimum which is like 90k per annum before taxes. That is not the minimum wage, even in LA. Plus they get free food and live in the c9 house for free.. anybody would snatch up that job if it means a franchised spot.

minimum what? Minimum wage in LA is $16.90 per hour.. which for 40hour weeks comes upto 2.7k per month.
Franchised league minimum is 5.5k per month.. which is literally twice the minimum wage. Assuming 5.5k per month is after taxes.. it comes upto around 90k per annum before taxes and 66k after taxes.
JJfriends [#10]Brother 5x12 is 60. Ur off by 30
u obviously cant read so i assume u have no idea how taxes work.. i literally said before taxes

how can so much be wrong in one response.
"Starting next year, teams like 100T and C9 could potentially offer players the league minimum salary, which is currently $50,000 per year for Americas. Geddes reports that teams “will continue to provide external necessities such as housing” in an attempt to make up for lowered salaries. A recent study from March said that a single person living in Los Angeles would need to make $76,710 after taxes to live comfortably."
and 5.5k times 12 is 66k a year BEFORE taxes... so even if they did make 5.5k a month they would get taxed about 25% of that so they would make LESS not more...
kskm [#12]u obviously cant read so i assume u have no idea how taxes work.. i literally said before taxes
but how do yk it's 5.5k after taxes?
kskm [#12]u obviously cant read so i assume u have no idea how taxes work.. i literally said before taxes
5.5k x 12 is 66k a year BEFORE TAXES. That means you are taxed on the 66 grand. Where did u get 90 from. I think it the one who doesn't know how this works.
moatz [#14]but how do yk it's 5.5k after taxes?
Yeah does riot specify after taxes. No league will calculate taxes when putting in a league minimum.

that report wherever you copied it from is incorrect.. just go to any pro streamer and ask them. League minimum is 5.5k per month after taxes. Should be around 90k per annum before taxes. My response is correct, the numbers are higher than the minimum wage decided by the govt. What one needs to make to live "comfortably" could vary and those numbers can be made up.. doesnt have anything to do with minimum wage.
moatz [#14]but how do yk it's 5.5k after taxes?
I've asked pro streamers who have confirmed it is 5.5k per month after taxes. i dont have a clip or i would've shared.

It’s important to note that these are minimum salaries and teams are free to exceed them. However, potential bonuses do not count toward the minimum 1.

look I don't want to be that guy, if you admit 5.5k per month is league minimum. Then the yearly amount they make it is 5.5k*12.
That is 66k a year, I don't know where you get 90k per year(stock options? % of merch sales? brand deals/sponsorships?). But those are not required at all by the org so based on that argument then 66k is the league minimum.

i am actually sorry to assume the braindead kids on this forum can read, let alone how taxes work. Like i literally said BEFORE taxes.. 66k per annum would be after taxes.

How is your basic math this bad lmaooooo. 5,500*12=66,000. where do you get 90k from
ronaldinhoooooooooooo [#33]How is your basic math this bad lmaooooo. 5,500*12=66,000. where do you get 90k from
5.5 a month is after taxes... thats literally what the comment says can you read
"any player would take a salary cut if it means they get to play in franchised league"
One of the most dumb things I've ever read to be honest.
You think every player is some 18 year old living on their parents money? People have families to support, parents to take care of, houses to buy, etc. 50k is not really livable in LA, and it definitely doesn't help you advance yourself financially.
Just yesterday there was a player saying on stream saying taking the minimum is tough because they support their parents with their income
kskm [#28]yes it is..? "5.5k per month is the league minimum which is like 90k per annum before taxes" i literally said BEFORE taxes. one needs to be blind or straight cant read. unless ur dumb enough to think i miscalculated 5.5 x 12
i mean i know what you meant, but im saying I can see where he was confused.
