gotta look at it in the long run , not the short run, they could probably pay the contracts for a few months but then that’s just them losing money and not having enough in the long run
the money from the bundle, stream revenues, content from Champs, Merch sales
Every other org in NA is broke, but EG had the best chance out of all of them to maintain their roster. Players wanted to stay with a winning team plus they got 1 mil more than any other org.
lets just assume they were -$1m in the bank before winning, maybe even more.
They have a 10 man roster. That has to cost at least 1m/year. 5 Reserves making 50k/year and then stating roster making 100k a year - at least.
