Sources: VALORANT Champions skins revenue breaks $18.7 million https://upcomer.com/sources-valorant-champions-skins-revenue-breaks-18-7-million
Developer Riot Games earned $18.72 million in revenue from VALORANT Champions skins, sources told Upcomer, which means participating teams earned $585,000 for competing in the first global championship for VALORANT esports.

Riot’s Champions Collection, announced Nov. 23 ahead of the finale of the VALORANT Champions Tour, provided a 50% revenue share with teams who took part in Champions. The participants’ portion of the revenue from the VCT Champions skins, $9.36 million, was divided evenly among the 16 teams.

How teams used the VALORANT Champions skin money, however, depends on the organization. Some teams split the $585,000 evenly between players and the organization; others gave players the majority, or teams the bulk of the money. The decision was left to each individual organization.

Of the 11 teams with confirmed VALORANT Champions skin revenue splits, two gave the majority of the money to their players, while seven teams kept the majority of the Champions bundle money for the org. There were two 50/50 splits and one team, X10, who decided to not split the money at all.

Here are some of the VALORANT Champions skins revenue splits.

EMEA
Acend: 75% team/25% players
Fnatic: 80/20
Team Liquid: 70/30
North America
Team Envy (now OpTic Gaming): 50/50
Sentinels: 50/50
Cloud9: 25/75
Latin America
Furia: 60/40
Vivo Keyd: 20/80
Asia-Pacific
X10: 100/0
Team Secret: 85/15
Vision Strikers: 70/30
Editor’s note: Other Champions participants Gambit Esports, Crazy Raccoon, Full Sense, KRÜ Esports and Vikings have been left of due to incomplete information.

Wow, wtf? C9 and VK goated for that 25/75 and 20/80 damn
Why are all of the EMEA and Asia teams so split towards the org??
All of the American continents teams (NA + SA) are by FAR nicer to the players split wise. Furia is the only one not either equal or more to the players, and they’re STILL better with the split towards their players than EMEA and APAC.
EMEA and apac orgs pulling off heists to their players bro

exactly what i said, it is STILL higher than any split that EMEA or APAC did. 60/40 and 50/50 are super respectable, especially when you compare them to the extremely unbalanced org favored splits that emea or apac teams had

x10 isnt true anymore (what i said initially was wrong to an extent), 0bi said that it was around a 10% cut given to the players and foxz got paid around 3m baht?

585000x10/100 = 58500 , 7 persons so 58500/7 = 8357$ for each person , 8357$ = 272,622 Baht
he said 10% for 7 persons not each person

hell no, It was ptc just trolling on his viewers about foxz because FS players got 3M .... and if foxz really got 3M after the drama thing, the one who should clarify to everyone is foxz because he started talking about this from the beginning
