iiTzTimmy explains why he refused salary from DSG as The Dojo joins Disguised YouTube: DisguisediiTzTimmy explains why he refused to take a salary from DSG as The Dojo signs on to Disguised for the 2024 ALGS season. In one of the most exciting moves in the 2024 ALGS offseason, Disguised, the export org started by Jeremy \u201cDisguised Toast\u201d Wang, signed the free agent team The Dojo, comprising of streaming mega star Timothy \u201ciiTzTimmy\u201d An, alongside Tyler \u201cDezignful\u201d Gardner, Alexander \u201cEnemy\u201d Rodriguez, and Deston \u201cBronzey\u201d Nguyen as their coach. And as the team gears up for the upcoming ALGS NA split, iiTzTimmy and Toast revealed that upon The Dojo signing with DSG, Timmy agreed to not take any salary he would\u2019ve gotten from the org. In the announcement video of the signing, Toast revealed that one of the main reasons why the huge signing happened was because Timmy agreed to not take a salary. Clip starts at 3:17 & 8:14 \u201cA big part of the reason we were able to make this work was because Timmy \u2013 I think I can say this \u2013 agreed to not take a salary from DSG because he knows we\u2019re broke,\u201d Toast said. \u201cSo the financial support we\u2019re getting from Apex Legends can be then moved directly to his teammates so they have a livable salary.\u201d Disguised was announced as part of EA\u2019s 12-team partnership program in which they receive stipends. However, Toast has not been shy about discussing the org\u2019s financial troubles, especially the industry\u2019s problems, and has been outspoken about attempting to make esports profitable. \u201cAt DSG, a big part of what we do is try to make everything make financial sense and we were able to make it happen this time.\u201d iiTzTimmy said of not taking a salary from DSG, \u201cHonestly, I\u2019m just super happy that the boys got some salaries, you know, an org to represent. I think they need it more than I do, and honestly, I\u2019m just happy I can give them this opportunity and have a team to represent.\u201d iiTzTimmy is also put in an interesting position, as he will be competing under DSG, however, is still signed onto 100 Thieves as a content creator, likely making him the first-ever pro player signed onto two esports orgs at once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
