Roman "RAMZES" Kushnarev, a prominent figure in the professional Dota 2 scene, recently shared insights into his earnings, disclosing the peak salary he received over the course of his career. During a livestream on Twitch, RAMZES cryptically mentioned the figure 'twenty,' indicating a substantial monthly income, presumably around $20,000.
Throughout his tenure in the competitive scene, RAMZES showcased his skills across various elite teams, aligning with organizations capable of offering lucrative deals. Notably, the former CEO of Virtus.pro, dvoryrom, once revealed that salaries in his era ranged from $10,000 to $20,000 during prosperous periods.
In the period spanning 2019 to 2020, RAMZES found himself under the banner of Evil Geniuses, a stint marked by a slight downturn in his individual performance despite maintaining a reputation as a top-tier competitor.
While speculations arose about a potential association with NAVI, RAMZES only spent a brief three-month spell with the team in 2021 before his departure. Although NAVI boasted considerable financial stability, the underwhelming state of their Dota 2 roster at the time made justifying a hefty salary challenging, especially for a player lacking recent accolades.
