Сколько зарабатывают киберспортсмены по сравнению с cs 2 и league of legends

Любой каприз – за ваши деньги.

Arcana на Razor и Queen of Pain

Одна из основных фишек этих аркан – отдельная анимация при атаке вблизи. Квопа бьет плеткой, а Разор не удлиняет свой меч. Во-первых, это слишком удобно: у обычного Разора отвратительная тычка, к которой долго привыкаешь, а у Квопы надо учитывать полет дротика до цели.

Во-вторых, арканы на Разора и Квопу странно взаимодействуют с ультимейтом Марса. Вы можете бить врага внутри арены!

Сейчас получить эти арканы нельзя. Однако в будущем, возможно, Valve выпустит сет для них, их дадут купить – как это было с арканой на ВК во время Холодрыжества.

В Доте вышло Холодрыжество: куча новой косметики и даже аркана на ВК!

Hunter’s Hoard на Bounty Hunter

Суть в анимации Трека Баунти Хантера. Обычная метка не имеет анимации и частиц, зато улучшенная ярко подсвечивает героя и щедро поливает того монетами. И если обычный Трек с развеиванием пропадает бесследно, то с имморталкой есть задержка. После развеивания над юнитом под Треком остается золотое свечение, оно пропадает не сразу. Не поможет ни Манта, ни Допель, ни другой пурж! 

Цена на Торговой площадке – около 1000 рублей.

Bloodmayne Avenger на Lycan

Похожая история с имморталкой на Ликана. Bloodmayne Avenger меняет анимацию Howl, и значок способности тоже пропадает при развеивании с задержкой. Однако есть нюанс: голова волка появляется только в первые секунды применения. При этом если враг почти сразу прожмет Манту (или похожий спелл), то абуз сработает. Над оригиналом останется висеть индикатор – маленькая голова волка.

Цена на Торговой площадке – около 8-9 рублей.

Ландшафт к TI6

Тем, кто качал Боевой пропуск к TI6, хорошо знаком тематический ландшафт турнира. Его особенность – другие деревья, листва которых аккуратно пострижена. Здесь даже объяснять не надо. Просто посмотрите, как легко мансовать в лесу из-за заметных тропинок:

Увы, сейчас такой ландшафт получить нельзя.

The Alpine Stalker’s Set на Ursa

The Alpine Stalker’s Set – набор из сокровищницы к десятилетию Доты. По какой-то причине вещи из него не загораются красным после применения ультимейта Урсы. Краснеет только сам Урса, а перчатки, шляпа и шерсть на спине маскируют действие Enrage. Отличное подспорье в драке!

С остальными наборами и даже с оригинальным Alpine Stalker такого нет – загорается все, поэтому ульту героя легко заметить. Почему Valve до сих пор не поправила The Alpine Stalker’s Set? Хороший вопрос.

Altar Ball на Io

Особенность Altar Ball – почти неразличимый Relocate. Если у оригинального Виспа появляются усики, которые кружатся вокруг него, то с Altar Ball лишь легкое свечение. Причем с включенным Overcharge способность становится еще незаметнее! Да, перед самой телепортацией Висп горит ярче, однако вы не успеете сбить Рело.

Цена на Торговой площадке – 250-300 рублей.

Lots of people ask: how much does a Dota 2 pro player earn per month? Let’s get this straight right away – the answer will be different for everyone. On one team it can be $4000 and on another one it can reach $15000-20000. And this is not the limit! It is worth mentioning that salaries of esports players in other disciplines can be even higher. Some CS2 and LoL members receive over $25000-30000 per month, and this is not their ceiling.

Comparison of esports player salaries in Dota 2, LoL, and CS2

Different disciplines – different rewards! The salary of an esports athlete directly depends on popularity of the game and demand for the player. But among all cyber disciplines League of Legends from Riot Games turned out to be a clear leader in terms of earnings.

Dota 2 players salary per month

Organizations are trying not to disclose their rosters’ salaries. Mostly clubs hint at something or post the annual budget. But still thanks to insiders or managers we sometimes manage to find out about some numbers.

According to Sergey «G» Bragin, Virtus.pro’s coach, players in the EEU region receive significantly less money than esports athletes from other regions. In the second division, players can expect a salary ranging from $500 to $1,000, but this is likely the limit. In tier-1 clubs, salaries are much higher, starting from $1,500 and can reach $5,000 and more. Although compared to Western teams, this amount may not be so impressive, it is quite substantial for the CIS region.

In European and American teams, salaries are significantly higher. According to Victor Goossens, co-founder of Team Liquid, in 2017, the organization paid players about $100-200,000 per year. Based on this, we can conclude that a pro player received around $8-12,000 per month, which is a good income compared to average salaries in the region. This does not include winnings and individual awards that the roster may receive.

Even not so big clubs pay their players quite a handsome salary. For example, Nouns pays Dota 2 esports from four to five thousand dollars monthly. Not bad at all taking into account that their team didn’t reach such heights as Team Liquid or other top clubs.

According to Diego «Jericho» Jimenez, players from Evil Geniuses currently receive $12,000, while Beastcoast players get $8,000.

According to Vitaliy «v1lat» Volochai, an esports commentator, the maximum salary for a Dota 2 player is $35,000 per month. However, such amounts can only be earned by the very best — the true top players in this discipline. Esports athletes from top clubs can expect $10,000 — $15,000, while newcomers in tier-1 teams can earn $2,000 — $5,000 per month. Second division organizations pay significantly less, ranging from $500 to $1,000.

Salaries of Counter-Strike 2 players

It’s worth noting that in CS2, even since the days of CS:GO, esports athlete salaries are significantly higher than in Dota 2. For example, according to reports, the total salary amount in the well-known Cloud9 team was around $140,000 per month, which roughly translates to $25-30,000 per player.

However other teams like Virtus.pro can potentially change this number drastically if they continue their success. Back in 2017 Virtus.pro (Poland) earned $25k monthly which was considered a great salary for them at that time but then G2 Esports and other organizations overcame this mark reaching something around €29,000.

Real leaders of eSports are situated in the USA where such clubs as EG, Liquid, Complexity and Immortals (MIBR) pay high salaries to their players. Also Europe has its representatives – Astralis, G2 Esports Vitality etc., not even mentioning OG team which is located somewhere near them financially too. But still compared with average income citizen gets these figures look absolutely different. In France it’s about $3k; Denmark – $6k Finland – $4k.

League of Legends players salaries

League of Legends pro players earnings is a very difficult question indeed cause clubs never publish any information about LoL esports athlete salaries and there are several reasons for that. However according to Chris Greeley Head of Global Strategy Riot Games average income for pro players in this discipline can reach $300,000. But he was clear about it that this is for clubs which participate in LoL Champions Series only. Which means that the best players could get $25k per month and LoL stars can earn even more.

LoL star in person of Lee «Faker» Sang-hyeok playing for T1 might earn around $216k monthly. It was said that his annual income reaches $2.6m which is indeed very impressive. And it doesn’t include any bonuses from sponsorships, advertising partners or streams.

Top clubs according to Greeley can pay their esports athletes something like $75k but this is a way higher number than in CS2 or Dota 2 due to the fact how popular LoL is compared to other games which are also considered as eSports disciplines.

Dota Plus is Valve’s subscription-based monetization system for Dota 2, but the company may have gone overboard on the pay-to-win aspects of the program. For $3.99 a month, players can get draft suggestions, see detailed stack timings, purchase exclusive cosmetics, and more. 

All the pay-to-win features in Dota Plus explained

The biggest pay-to-win advantage in Dota Plus is the draft assistant, which automatically recommends heroes based on their win rates in your bracket. It even takes the enemy team’s draft into account. Furthermore, it shows the win rate of your chosen hero paired with every other hero on both teams.

All of these mechanics give a distinct advantage, but it’s not quite enough to call it pay to win. Most of the in-game information is technically available to free players, and experienced players should already know stack and pull timings by heart. The draft assistant is the biggest advantage, though it rarely makes the difference.

So, is Dota Plus pay to win? Yes, it is, but considering that it makes Valve money, don’t expect any protest to make a difference. In fact, Dota 2’s developers are working hard to secure their monopoly.

What’s the difference between Dota Plus and Overwolf DotaPlus?

In addition to Valve’s own premium service, gaming overlay Overwolf also has a Dota 2 “enhancement” program that’s titled DotaPlus. Despite sharing the same name, Overwold’s DotaPlus serves a different purpose as an in-game draft assistant.

The developers of Dota 2 have explicitly stated that tools like this are effectively cheating. The company previously gutted Stratz+, a similar draft assist. The company later provided an official statement claiming that any program that can read game data would be treated as cheating. You’re unlikely to get banned for using Overwolf DotaPlus, but it’s only a matter of time before Valve finds a way to disrupt it.
