In modern esports, Team Spirit is one of the most successful teams. Their Dota 2 roster has won The International twice, and their CS2 roster managed to win a Major in Shanghai. This makes it all the more interesting when the club's CEO, Cheshir, decides to engage with fans and hosts an AMA session on Telegram.

Among the numerous responses, we'll highlight two, both of which relate to the business side of things. Cheshir revealed how much it costs to maintain the club's rosters in both Dota 2 and CS2, each of which is ranked in the top 20. According to the CEO of Team Spirit, the total annual cost for both rosters is a minimum of $1.4 million.

Another significant figure shared was the salary range for the players. Cheshir revealed that the players earn between $500 and $30,000 per month. While the maximum amount is quite large, it's easy to deduce that this salary is likely going to someone from the Counter-Strike roster.

With a high degree of certainty, it's probably referring to sh1ro. While the superstar of the roster is donk, a wunderkind, he is likely still on a "youngster contract," and Team Spirit will have to increase his salary after renewing the agreement. On the other hand, sh1ro joined the team from Cloud9 as a star player, so his salary could reflect that status. For Eastern Europe, these are very good salaries.
