According to reporter Richard Lewis, Evil Geniuses arrested the players half a salary or leaving the team. However, champion Valorant Champions 2023 constantly rejected offers from other organizations.
Currently, Kelden “Boostio” Pupello wants to leave EG to move to play for 100 Thieves. In addition, NRG approached Max “Demon1” Mazanov & Ethan “Ethan” Arnold, and ready to spend $ 100,000 to buy a contract but be rejected by EG. Accordingly, Demon1 is very uncomfortable about EG's treatment and believes that the relationship between the players and the organization is about to break.
Earlier, Richard Lewis itself revealed that EG asked the players to cut nearly half of the current salary. In return, Demon1 and his teammates will increase the amount received from the Skin In-Game Sales Revenue (Champions 2023 and Team Skin are expected to launch in 2024).
Not only EG, many teams in VCT America are making a move to reduce the salary fund and personnel in the 2024 season. Accordingly, many teams will make a transfer based on the new law of VCT 2024, when Riot Games no longer requires them to have 6 players in their squad.
The transfer window VCT 2024 was opened on September 11, 2023 and will be closed on July 15, 2024. With an almost extended transfer time until the Valorant Champions 2024, the teams will be able to make changes based on the happenings of the season. This will improve the level of competition and avoid the situation of “premature death” teams.
