The thing is that in football the players are paid money, but they don’t always blend in well together, so you can have a very expensive player scoring all the goals, while the other 3-4 guys with shit salaries are doing all the work setting him up for the play. Who gets the credit for it? The guy who scored the goal.

That can’t really apply for TF2 atleast since it’s a more team-oriented game. If one person doesn’t have good chemistry with the others, then it just doesn’t work out and it’s a bad lineup. Having one player being useless can cost you a lot of games, especially since there’s less players compared to football. Everyone in TF2 has a very important role, and taking one person out is a huge handicap.

In football, when players get redcarded the team isn’t disadvantaged by the extra player the other team has, it’s disadvantaged by the fact that a player from a certain position left, which may or may not be hard to replace(if you have someone who can play multiple roles). Having -1 player in football is a lot better than having -1 player in TF2 since it’s a game with defensive and offensive positions, while TF2 is a game which has a permanent backward-forward struggle. 1 second you’re attacking, the next you might be defending.

Referring to the task at hand, technically it isn’t very fair for the other players who got screwed over, but CS is a game where one person can gun down an entire team so it WOULD be justified if that guy who got the most money is some sort of Arnold Schwarzenegger of counter-strike. If he carries he deserves the extra cash.

But yeah from the perspective of the 2 guys who got the least money, it really sucks. It’s just like someone pulls you over after you win every game, and then they’re like “listen mate, we know you’re on this team, we know you won, but you’re shit and your teammates carried you so here’s less money”

Reading the comments, it seemed at least one of them signed a contract but apparantly it’s only for redline to recieve 20%.

They won as a team, it’s not a salary, it’s a prize that should be shared equally. Their manager should’ve got some of it but the rest should’ve been equally distributed among the players. Who has the right to say which players are more valuable to their team?

It’s up to the other players who recieved more though to even it out or leave it as it is.
