Salary Up to $45,000: Insiders Reveal Financial Details of degster’s Falcons Contract

The Counter-Strike 2 community continues to discuss the future of Abdul "degster" Gasanov, who remains a free agent after parting ways with Team Falcons. One of the key factors potentially affecting his current status is believed to be the financial terms of his previous contract.

Insider Äset "Solaar" Sembiev stated that he had heard degster was asking for a salary of $30,000 per month. According to him, before joining Falcons, the AWPer was earning around $20,000 monthly.

"I once heard that degster was asking for $30,000 per month. Before Falcons, he was earning around $20,000," Solaar said.

The statement quickly sparked debate within the community regarding whether such numbers are realistic in today’s market.

Shortly after Solaar’s comments, esports outlet OFFSTAGE provided additional clarification. According to their report, degster’s base salary at Falcons was indeed $30,000 per month. The contract also reportedly included a bonus clause that could increase his monthly salary to $45,000 in case of a Major victory.

While there has been no official confirmation from the player himself, multiple sources now partially align on the reported figures.

Degster remains one of the most high-profile free agents in CS2. If the reported financial expectations are accurate, they could be complicating negotiations with potential organizations.

At the same time, in the modern Tier 1 scene, such salaries are no longer considered shocking, especially for an experienced international AWPer. The real question is which organization will be willing to invest in a player of his caliber for the long term.
