Crimsix slams CDL teams over \u201cdogsh*t\u201d salaries: \u201cIt makes me sick\u201d Call of Duty League \/ ActivisionThree-time Call of Duty world champion Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter has called out Call of Duty League franchises over salary payments, calling it an \u201cabsolute joke\u201d that some teams are paying players \u201cthe dogs**t minimum.\u201d Salaries have been a huge topic of discussion for Call of Duty fans (and, obviously, players), even since way before the league was franchised in 2019. Since the league took the franchised route, though, we\u2019re a little closer to understanding salaries better. We know that at the start of the Modern Warfare season, there was a minimum salary cap of $50,000, and a maximum cap of around $1.5m. While this may have changed somewhat in the Black Ops Cold War season, especially with a reduction of teams down from 5 players to 4, it\u2019s unclear what exactly this change could have been. While nearer the start of the Modern Warfare season James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks confirmed that all starting pros at the beginning of the season were making $150k minimum, that appears to have changed drastically in the months since.

It makes me sick.\u201d \u201cA third of the League is saying \u2018we\u2019re going to pay you in goddamn dimes\u2019,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, but the only thing that pis*es me off the most about this sh*t, is that people who can stop them and say \u2018this is not right\u2019 are not saying a damn thing about it.\u201d Crimsix didn\u2019t name any of the franchises involved, but being one of the undisputed greatest CoD players ever, is likely able to negotiate much higher salaries than the minimum. CDL salaries remain private, and it\u2019s impossible to know whether we\u2019ll see any significant change heading into the Vanguard season in 2022. Crimsix hoped that by calling it out publicly on stream though, he could initiate some change \u2013 even if it meant facing a fine himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
