Forgive me for not knowing but how did they get do big as an org the seem to cheap out on so much the most notable thing I knew of them before valorant was their melee player mango
More like "cheaping out" they look for the more sustainable ways to live
Keep in mind that they compete in 15 different games, and most of them are in NA, where the salaries are higher
If they focused only in Valorant, they'd have much higher salaries and buyouts. That's why they have long contracts with players
