Dan “apEX” Madesclaire, a prominent player for Team Vitality`s Counter-Strike 2 roster, has publicly stated the financial terms under which he would consider a transfer to Team Falcons. He revealed this information during a live stream with popular streamer Vyacheslav “Buster” Leontiev.
“I would agree if I were paid $1,500,000 per year,” apEX stated.
This statement follows recent discussions about player salaries in the Counter-Strike scene, sparked by Роман “RAMZES666” Kushnarev. RAMZES666 speculated on the earnings of top players, suggesting that Nikola “NiKo” Kovač might earn around $50,000 and Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev in his prime likely earned no less.
Currently, apEX has been a part of Team Vitality since 2018. His team recently achieved first place at BLAST Open Lisbon 2025. Prior to this victory, Team Vitality also secured championship titles at ESL Pro League Season 21 and IEM Katowice 2025 consecutively.
