How Much I Made In 2024 as a Counter-Strike Pro

[@SkiLxD]

Honestly, very transparent and you seem as a genuinely nice fella. Best of luck man

[@STYKO]

I appreciate that! Thank you ✌🏽😊

[@Viral_Leekzz]

mannnnn styko is a beast if you watch him play he doesn’t need luck, luck needs him

[@g3volution]

Man I hope this transparency doesn’t hurt your opportunities/prospects as a host.

[@STYKO]

On the contrary; Videos like these helped me get interesting offers during 2024 😊 I always ask for permission to share these details, and if someone says no, I always respect it.

[@g3volution]

@@STYKO nice one. Good for you then!

[@epixeltwin]

The Man ls the full package! Nice - integral - transparent. Huge props

[@vedadhuskic4300]

Why would it tho? Its like a taboo, but its not forbidden

[@zeph6182]

@@vedadhuskic4300I’m pretty sure it’s not actually that taboo in most places around the world, it is in the USA because of anti-union sentiment

[@larrbear2100]

The fact your my fav influencer for cs man ty for all the memories and stuff and I hope you cast soon

[@jeremykervran1598]

Huge kudos for refusing to partner with casinos and gambling sites because you are aware of your audience and the consequences it could have. Esports need more people like you.

[@kovitya]

I hope you do some more analyst work at the events.

[@STYKO]

I am hoping to PLAY at these events 😈

[@jackoxford]

@@STYKO Heroic seems to have some vacancies 👀

[@artixcx]

keep up the work styko and hopefully you come back to competitive cs as you were amazing to watch ❤

[@johnbrutales2472]

styko cool guy wish you all the best in the future

[@Martynovic]

Need that 2024 expenses vid. This kinda stuff is v interesting coming from someone studying accounting atm, appreciate the transparency bro

[@maverick91419]

Hope you get a similar 2025 as 2023 , that would mean we will see you in Majors again! Good luck STYKO, greetings from Spain

[@GeorgeT96]

congrats on the 150k!

[@roshankapoor8061]

I appreciate the transparency and honesty.. and will definitely be tuning in for future videos and maybe streams.. Please keep up this good work.

[@Floxiiik]

seeing this, I probably should have kept trying to become a pro... I was so close to getting a livable salary but after many things/issues I lost all motivation. Now I hate myself for not trying harder and more. Now with 26 I'm way too old for it sadly I think I follow you since 2015 or 2016 and I'm so god damn happy for you, more than de_served that everything worked out for you. 150K is a amazing salary! :D

[@haynerr]

I hope the path forward for you blooms!

[@pedropaivasousa2334]

If you have *it*, you aren't too old. You just have to grind it. saffee had 8 maps in 2019 according to HLTV. He's 30 now.

[@CoolDrifty]

these salaries might not last. i was watching a podcast with jason lake earlier in the week-- there might be a major market correction in the next couple years and a lot of the money right now won't be there in the future. just something to keep in mind.

[@Floxiiik]

@@CoolDrifty honestly, I dont care about the salary, I would do it for free as well since I LOVE to compete. My interest has shifted towards motorsport now and even though I'm too old for that as well, I want to join a cup later once I'm good, still a newbie.

[@Floxiiik]

@@pedropaivasousa2334 I didnt play in a team for solid 3-4 years now, neither are anyone of my old mates playing. I still would love to play again but I have no clue how to start again.

[@Filip1201]

Very interesting video and very transparent which in 2024 is not so common anymore. Keep it up, Styko!

[@Dorianek8]

nice transparent video, I remember you from the HR times mr "bot styko" :D

[@daFAQ__]

good for you happy to see you doing good!

[@gl1tch833]

Great to know that you had some coaching to fall back on when u weren`t on a pro team, hope to see u back as a player or coach

[@JJ_196]

These type of vids always be bangers!

[@CS_PEPO]

11:13 yes i would like to know, also great video ❤

[@liquidmilk5323]

This is an amazing kind of a video and a well put together one with details/numbers/graphs that are easy to understand!

[@BurnieBaker]

Great video, mate. Keep on the YT grind- it's hard one but your level is insanely coveted and I'm excited to see the 2025 recap in whatever position you find yourself in

[@slxea3026]

You are doing very interesting content and you've improved a lot in your videos and editing. Good job. I remember you since you were playing for HellRaisers. Good luck in 2025, Martin!

[@CS2VICE]

150k is great, Good for you man!

[@siddharthrathod6249]

Nothing but respect for you Styko. Its not easy to reveal your financial information publicly. Hope you continue to keep pushing out great content!

[@sh1nenkai258]

Very nice to see transparency, this is very good money for the average person and not to mention pros like ropz, s1mple, zywoo would be gettings hella bucks what i was very intrigued by was the analyst pay, like you said they offered you less then the typical analyst because you are new, so i can only imagine analysts like ynk, pimp who are at almost every tier 1 big event are getting payed well and not to mention thier content like podcast or streams keep up the good work

[@kblmn]

pimp also has refrag.

[@opium9202]

Hope you find a team in 2025, but man what a great analyst you were on those events. Gl, Držím palce!

[@ifuego]

I hope 2025 will be way better for you. You are a very good person and player ❤

[@vilestine]

Great video, very cool to see behind the curtains a bit!

[@marcuppf4358]

7:02 That’s why Styko is the goat, he’s not a sellout. 🎉

[@peiyuan530]

Thanks for the transparency! Hope this will help upcoming players to better negotiate their contracts with organisations 👍

[@STYKO]

I hope so too! I know my video last year helped a lot of (semi)pro players, so that is always nice to hear 😊

[@Tacosoncrack]

Super cool to know and appreciate the breakdown being as detailed as you could professionally make it. Huge props Styko!

[@HAXEMiners]

love your work! keep going bro

[@brendenk4271]

I’ve watched a few vids from you before, but after this vid, you became the first person I turned on notifications for. Love the content!

[@STYKO]

🥹 your comment made my day

[@wormi27z]

Another W video as usual. STYKO and ash are the best CS tubers by a mile (plus 3kliks but he is in his own category)

[@low1ee]

The world needs more people like you man, keep it up!

[@CrystalSmack]

Thank you for being so transparent

[@xxemericxx]

Thanks for the vid, love the content!

[@ijulian1402]

Yo, nice video. It was randomly in my recommended and I’ve never seen you before other than randomly hearing about you in the pro scene. But this was definitely a very informative video. And I’m looking forward to the spending one as well. Keep it up👏

[@RuzzleD]

Great video! Love your charisma and eloquence, as well as structured approach! Keep it up!

[@fryomg6657]

I like format and topic of this vid 👍

[@Zniglish]

Thanks for the transparency and insight Mr. Styko, lovely video!

[@MsMrmassa]

Thx for the transparency as always!

[@Drehzahlorgel]

This video made me subscribe to your channel. Great video to watch and you seem really transparent. Also, hats off to your stance against gambling and casino sponsorings. Please, keep it that way. Otherwise, you might end up in a Coffeezilla investigation video :D :D. Joke.

[@Depotys]

Děkuji za transparentnost a myšlenku

[@tomasvrbiak]

Hello Styko. you are doing great job. thx for this (and all other) video(s). And yes, I would like to see also the video of your outcome 2024 :) i think, It will be very interesting

[@MistaMouse]

This is a fascinating video-highly transparent and insightful. Thank you for sharing these numbers! It not only benefits the CS community but also helps other gaming communities understand the potential earnings at higher levels of gaming.

[@leonardoayala1710]

You should definitely stream more often brother! Either on KZbin or Twitch I'm sure plenty of people would watch if you had a consistent schedule.

holy sticker money alone will set someone for that whole year maybe even the next year or two too

would love to see an expenses vid too

I wish you for next year the same video with 500K Euro in the end.

you are so incredibly based for not promoting casinos

You're so welcome! 💫

[@passer1737]

Very informative from you, thank you a lot!

[@t0mmi]

We have to normalize talking about salaries so everyone can more easily understand what they are worth as a worker/player. Thank you styko for this!

[@vokalized]

thanks for the transparency!

[@darkglobe406]

good video , lots of youtubers and streamers are very reserved when it comes to revealing their income charts . also with 50K subscribers i´m sure it would be easy to make some casino promoting money so shout out for taking the hard road . maybe you could do some rought estimation video on how much bigger youtubers/streamers can make , and also how much they can be offered by gambling websites realistically . i know many of them transitioned from twitch to kick since twitch banned gambling promotions (IIRC) .

[@PitoDeLeche]

Holy shot 11k for base salary at apek is huge

[@MrSkipperBent]

Nice vid again, keep it uuuuuup

[@BohdanHalunka]

Hey Martin, thank you so much for such a nice transparency! Keep it up with a good content, cheers from Ukraine.

[@official_modba]

Thanks for being real with us 🙂👍

[@AKolesya]

Amazing video! I’m interested if this after/before tax? I imagine different sources of income would be taxed differently, therefore percentages might change

[@BauerHermann1811]

considering most pros only have 5-10 years at the top level to make the biggest chunk of the total income they will make in their life 100-150k per year doesnt seem like too much. Many young pros haven't worked a "real" job in their life, so they need to make the most of their time as a pro.

[@kimpapkimpaha7698]

Why did you put real in quotation? It is a fact.

[@jstris]

last year he made over 450k euros, he stated that this was a low year

[@BauerHermann1811]

@@jstris I know that. It only proves my point that as a pro player you have to make the most out of the short amount of time you get at the top tier of CS since income can vary so much from year to year.

[@jstris]

@@BauerHermann1811 i mean there’s lots of opportunity pathways from esports you could count streaming/content and you could become a caster but even if you fall off that’s still a lot of money to kick start your life though even if you do end up working a regular 9-5

[@Vismajor01]

Bro depends where you live. I make 10% of that in a year, and i do fine here. That means if i work 100 years is equivalent for his 10 years, and obv i don't work 100 years...

[@lian2k386]

i wish there would be the same transparency when it comes to cheating at pro cs. Because that is a huge issue since the games existence and nobody seems to care. Thats what actually killed pro cycling and they still struggle from recovering.

how is a journeyman cs player in no name orgs making 11k/ month, thats crazy, imagine what the top guys are making to play videogames for a living. absolute insanity of a world who knew there was this much money in cs, crazy

This is all pre taxation. In my 2023 SPENDING video I cover these taxes, too. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3esipSMbZ5mndUsi=cSJu4Bzj9o4Gow_D) If you are interested in my 2024 spendings too, I will gladly show how much % will be taxed.

Awesome STYKO! Big Fan of yours! Please could you also tell how much money Could be earned through Sponsors Like Skins Monkey! As i am starting my youtube carrier. I really need to get the idea. Thanks and big thumbs Up!

[@STYKO]

anywhere from $100 to couple thousands per 60s shoutout in the video. Depends how many people your videos are reaching & how good is your brand. I can’t reveal my deal with SkinsMonkey at this point

[@TheCSPlaybookShorts]

@ thats so nice of you... Just wanted to have an idea only that as a carrier i should proceed or not beacuse 2000$ is enough for me.

Were your travel expenses covered when you took the talent jobs?

Yes. Flights, accomodation, food & transfers were paid for. (just like when I attended these tournaments as a player)
