Do NALCS players really make over $320,000 a year?

That seems insanely high given rookies in the NFL start at 480k a year and the NFL brings in billions.

NFL rookies also don't practice for 10 hours a day almost every day for a year and get called trash because they don't win the super bowl. The players in League put in huge efforts to be at the top of their game all year. If you miss a block in the NFL it can cost you a game, if you misclick a button in League even a minute into the game, it can cost you everything. Players in League don't get paid enough imo.

Makes sense when you think about it. An LCS team has 5 players, and maybe a sub or two. An NFL team has a lot more players and most don't ever really play. Nobody is going to pay their 3rd string quarterback a whole lot.

Its really sad when you think that every player on 100 thiefs made around that and look like they did not what to be at worlds. But yeah I believe they do make that but there are less players in the lcs and I would say the academy is closer to rookies in the NFL and I do not know how much they make.
