do you guys know that average salary for PRX team is about 800$ ?
while T4 eu Teams get paid more
unfortunately only in NA, Europe and some places in Asia the salaries of professional players are high. The other regions suffer from a lack of investment and even so, as we can see in the masters, they manage to be competitive. So just imagine if they had the same level of investment as the main regions.
Even though many NA/EMEA teams are paid several times more than many better teams in other regions, you have to look at the cost of living. In NA and Europe you can only live on 2000 USD per month if you live with your parents, if you live alone only rent is 2000 USD, unlike in many other countries in Asia and South America where a person earning 2000 USD per month is considered middle class and can live very well and with considerable luxury.
The teams collect mostly from sponsorships and product sales. In first world countries, where the cost of living is higher, so is the purchasing power and the amounts paid by sponsors. As a result, teams earn more and are able to pay higher salaries. Thus, this proxy is not so correct to make since the revenue of teams is not symmetrical between countries.
The NIP coming to Brazil is a way they found to pay less for a competitive team and that will give visibility to their sponsors in the same way.
