Being in tier 2 is a good thing for the team, now that there inside the curcit it will be easier for them to get actuall practice
Contract money sure, but they were making SO MUCH money in GC through prize pools. They were able to consistently win champs if they wanted, plus higher viewership (I believe, don’t quote me on that) which results in higher exposure for the sponsor and therefore more money. We don’t know what they make contract wise, but I can guess including prize pools they are making less money this year than the past 2 years
