Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke has publicly revealed the salaries he earned during two major stages of his career, opening up about both his time in Europe with Astralis and his later stint in North America with Complexity Gaming.

During the episode, k0nfig revealed after he joined Astralis in November 2021, he earned 175,000 Danish kroner per month, which he described as roughly $28,000. He also shared details from his nearly two-year stay with Complexity Gaming, where salary negotiations became significantly more complicated.

According to k0nfig, his first direct conversation with Complexity CEO Jason Lake in 2019 resulted in an initial offer of $15,000 per month.
