Ukrainian e-sportsman Ilya “Lil” Ilyuk spoke about what salaries professional Dota 2 players receive, and also named the timing of payment of prize money from tournaments.
Salaries for pro players depend on the organization and its sponsors. Tier 3 players receive from 300 to a thousand dollars [в месяц], tier-2 players – from a thousand to three, tier-1 players – from 3 thousand to 20, but there are not very many such teams in the world. European and Chinese organizations are willing to pay more. <...>
Organizers of top tournaments usually send prize money within 2 weeks, but on average this process can take from 3 to 6 months. I had a case where the prize money was sent after 2 years.
Earlier, Ilyuk also said that out of desperation he wanted to try his hand at the team Danila “Dendi” Ishutina – 
B8 Esports.
