The Overwatch League released the 2020/2021 player contract status several weeks ago and as the off-season continues with players moving to new teams, here’s a reminder of some of the interesting facts:
“During the 2020 season players earned an average base salary of US $106K, up nearly $10K per player from the 2019 season. The median player salary was $92K, up more than $10K from 2019. The league minimum player salary remains $50K plus benefits. Players also collectively received a minimum of 50% of the total prize pool awarded to their teams during the season.”
