VALORANT streamer s0m sides with salary cuts in NA esports scene: ‘It makes sense’
The so-called “esports winter” has hit VALORANT esports pretty hard, with top-rated organizations across the world tightening their budgets. As much as reducing this year’s Champions’ salaries sounds infuriating, considering the state of esports, our favorite ‘W streamer’ Sam “s0m” Oh thinks that it makes sense.
During a Q&A session on his Twitch stream on Sept. 13, s0m was faced with a question from one of his viewers, who asked why VALORANT esports players are currently getting paid less than before. The former NRG creator and professional player didn’t hesitate to highlight the bitter consequence of over-investment.
