n0rb3r7: If you add up all the player sticker bonuses, it would surpass the prize pool of The International .
In an interview, David Danielyan | n0rb3r7 revealed insights into a professional player's income and his perspective on investments.
"Investing is a rather complex matter, and I don't have time to research it. I prefer saving money to support household expenses. Once I've saved enough, I'll also treat myself to a few things. My parents have always been supportive and have helped me, so I feel the need to repay them.
Stickers are the main source of income for most players, which many people are quite concerned about. As for why Major event prizes aren't as high as TI's, I think if you add up all the players' earnings (sticker shares), it would surpass TI by a significant margin. I can't disclose specific earnings, but each player might make a six-figure sum in dollars.
This entirely depends on how well the stickers sell. If we hadn't won the IEM Rio Major, our sticker profits might not have been as substantial. From what I know, the highest sales were from the PGL Stockholm Major because it was the first Major after the pandemic. Well, there was also the BLAST.tv Paris Major, as it was the last CSGO Major."
Earlier, Cloud9's Kirill Mikhailov | Boombl4 claimed to have received approximately $1 million in revenue from CSGO sticker sales.
n0rb3r7 began his professional career in 2018, and based on statistics, he has earned a total of $289,000 in prize money from tournaments."
