Cybersports organization Cloud9 may receive additional payments from Team Spirit for the transfer of Dmitriy "sh1ro" Sokolov.
Telecomasia.net has learned that the total amount of the transfer of the 22-year-old sniper may exceed two million dollars, taking into account the bonuses that Cloud9 may receive from Team Spirit.
Initially, insider OverDrive announced the cost of sh1ro's transfer from C9 to Team Spirit, which was equal to one million dollars. But famous cybersports journalist Duncan "Thorin" Shields named a number of $1.75 million. According to him, people from Cloud9 confirmed that this amount is more similar to the truth.
It is worth noting that we were talking specifically about the amount of the transfer fee. The contract included bonuses in case of sh1ro's successful performance as a member of Team Spirit. Considering that the team became the top-1 of the HLTV rating, we can assume that these bonuses will be paid.
Recall that sh1ro moved from Cloud9 to Team Spirit at the end of 2023. As a member of the new team, the player won the IEM Katowice 2024 and BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2024 tournaments.
